Threadripper Workstation Foundation

The sTRX4 socket board is built for 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors, targeting creators and engineers who need many cores and large memory capacity. Eight DDR4 slots support quad-channel operation up to 256 GB, enabling heavy multitasking and data-intensive workloads.

Armored Power Delivery And Connectivity

A 16+3 phase Infineon digital VRM with 70 A power stages is covered by a finned heatsink, heatpipe and NanoCarbon baseplate for sustained loads. Rear I/O provides dual 10 GbE RJ-45 ports, Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, plus seven USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and optical S/PDIF output.

Four PCIe 4.0 M.2 Slots With Thermal Guards

CPU and chipset M.2 connectors accept 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives running at PCIe 4.0 x4 or x2, each shielded by a dedicated heatsink. Quad-channel memory, 10 GbE networking and four guarded NVMe slots make this board a logical step up from earlier Threadripper platforms when storage throughput and network speed become bottlenecks.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the M.2 interface use and what speed does it cap at?

The CPU-linked M.2 slots run at PCIe 4.0 x4, giving a 4.0 x4 ceiling for NVMe SSDs.

What physical clearance does the XL ATX board need in a case?

The XL ATX form factor requires a case that accepts boards wider than standard ATX; verify the chassis spec lists XL ATX support.

How is the 10 GbE LAN enabled and what step is often missed?

Install the Intel X550-AT2 driver from the support page, then enable the 10 GbE ports in BIOS; skipping the driver leaves the links at 1 Gbps.
