MSI TRX40 Pro Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The MSI TRX40 Pro WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard built specifically for AMD's 3rd Generation Ryzen Threadripper desktop processors using the sTRX4 socket. Powered by the AMD TRX40 chipset, it is engineered for high-end desktop (HEDT) workloads including content creation, 3D rendering, scientific computing, and serious multi-threaded gaming. Memory support is expansive: eight DDR4 DIMM slots arranged in a quad-channel architecture accommodate up to 256 GB of RAM. Standard JEDEC profiles run from 2133 MHz through 3200 MHz, while XMP overclocking can push a single rank, single DIMM-per-channel configuration up to 4666 MHz. Both ECC and non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs are supported, making the board equally relevant for workstation and creative professional use cases. Expansion is handled by four PCIe 4.0 x16 slots operating in x16/x8/x16/x8 configurations, enabling up to 3-way NVIDIA SLI or 3-way AMD CrossFire multi-GPU setups. An additional PCIe 3.0 x1 slot covers peripheral cards. Two onboard M.2 Key-M slots both support PCIe 4.0 x4, allowing twin NVMe SSDs to operate at full Gen 4 bandwidth. Eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out the storage connectivity, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support across SATA devices. Networking combines dual Intel I211AT Gigabit LAN controllers with an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 module (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, up to 2.4 Gbps on 160 MHz channels) and Bluetooth 5. USB connectivity on the rear panel includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port at 20 Gbps, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports at 10 Gbps, and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports; internal headers add further USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports. Audio is driven by a Realtek ALC1220 codec delivering 7.1-channel high-definition audio alongside a Realtek ALC4050H codec for front and rear panel microphone input, plus optical S/PDIF output. Fan control extends across one CPU fan header, one water-pump header, and four system fan headers. RGB and addressable RGB headers include one 5050 4-pin connector, two 3-pin ARGB connectors, and one 3-pin Corsair LED connector.
