ASUS today announced that the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE workstation motherboard has scored 46 new performance records leveraging the latest AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors, ranging from the PRO 9965WX to the PRO 9995WX. This sets a new benchmark for workstation-class performance, establishing this motherboard as the ultimate platform for professionals and overclockers who want to push the limits of CPU power. These groundbreaking results arrive thanks to the work of professional overclockers CENS, SEBY, bl4ckdot, Paul7347 and jiacheng_liu.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX is the new king of the CPU hill, wielding 96 cores, 192 threads and a 5.4 GHz boost clock to carve out new performance territory. Professional overclockers CENS and SEBY pushed this chip to its limits, maintaining control on a knife's edge with the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE. A raft of records was the result. Of particular note is the HWBOT 265 Benchmark 4K score. SEBY smashed his own previous world record - also attained with the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE - by an incredible 20%.



The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE recipe for overclocking supremacy starts under the hood with a massive power solution. With a VRM setup comprising (16 x 2)+3+3+3 power stages, it is ready to handle the needs of a high-end CPU. Thick extruded-aluminium heatsinks tame the temperatures of the MOSFETs and chokes, while two embedded fans keep cooling air moving through this vital area of the motherboard.

The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE also offers a full toolkit of options for professional overclockers. A W_PUMP+ header provides the amperage for a fully custom liquid cooling kit, while an LN2 mode jumper enables the system to boot under the extreme conditions associated with subzero overclocking. Seven Probelt measurement points enable checking voltages during an overclock, while niceties like a ReTry button and Safe Boot button streamline the process of trial and error.

The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE is perfect for memory-sensitive workloads that can take advantage of all the bandwidth they can get. It boasts eight R-DIMM slots capable of running in an eight-channel architecture. ECC support improves data integrity and system reliability, giving professionals the rock-solid operation they need even when performance tuning. In particular, the combination of ECC and EXPO memory profiles unlocks a head-turning combination of performance and reliability. The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE is a truly premium workstation board, and that extends to its expansion slot array, storage options and connectivity.

ASUS is also adding the more compact Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi A to its lineup of AMD sTR5 socket motherboards.

Funny this should come out today, cause my company has a large order of these mobo's, cpu's, pro GPU's, plus ram and liquid cooling setups awaiting final approval from the IT director....which is usually just a matter of having a meeting with his mid-level managers to convince him that they are needed (which the are big time) and then he signs off on the purchase documents & writes a big fat check :D

And don't worry, we don't give a crap about synthetic benchmarks, ONLY sheer performance, and we WILL also be pushing everything to their limits & probably beyond....

Good to know, share some benchmarks :D

This is how a motherboard used to look, now they have replaced pcie slots for RGB, RAM slots for fat chunks of aluminum and connectivity consists on figuring out which PCIE slot cancels which m2 slot when you install more than 2 hard drives.

I seriously doubt that the IT guys will have time to do any benchmarking, since the teams are already frothing at the mouth for them, and they haven't even been ordered yet....they will be lucky to have time to verify that they work as expected....

And with all the stuff our guys will have to transfer over from each machine (probably ~10-20TB of files per person x 174 people), this whole process is gonna take a buttload of work on IT's part, but I'll ask about any benchmarks when they get ready to deploy them :)
