ASUS Announces New Performance Records for Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
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 5.4GHz 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-aluminum 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.
