Asus PRIME-TRX40-PRO-S AMD Motherboard

ASUS Prime TRX40-Pro S is expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of AMD's latest high-core-count processors for content creators, designers and professional use. Combining a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions, ultrafast PCIe 4.0 connectivity and intelligent tuning options, the high-end desktop motherboard delivers the performance and stability needed to turn every creative vision into reality.

Get the Most out of All Your Cores
AMD's HEDT platform raises the stakes with the latest AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen™ Threadripper™ processors that boast more cores and higher bandwidth than ever before. Prime TRX40-Pro S is ready for the additional processing power that plows through intensive tasks such as 3D rendering and video editing, and the extra bandwidth allows you to add multiple graphics cards and NVMe SSDs to accelerate your productivity.

Robust Power Design
The new AMD Socket sTRX4 is compatible with 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs with up to 64 cores, up to 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes, and 280-watt thermal design power (TDP). Such specifications require serious power, so Prime TRX40-Pro S is equipped with an enhanced power solution that includes 16 power stages to ensure your processor keeps up with your creativity.

ProCool II Connectors
ProCool II connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines. The second-generation features upgrades of metal amour and solid pins for better heat dissipation, as well as a warning LED-display with a BIOS POST message to indicate improper connections.

Cool to the Core
Effective content creation demands a reliable, professional foundation. Prime TRX40-Pro S is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads, so that your focus remains fixed on your creative goals.

M.2 Heatsink
Two M.2 slots are covered by a massive heatsink to combat temperature-induced throttling that can affect performance during heavy, sustained storage loads.

Tune It Your Way
Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. Prime TRX40-Pro S packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling you to tweak performance settings to perfectly match the way you work – maximizing your productivity.

5-Way Optimization
One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig.

An automated tuning utility that optimizes overclocking and cooling profiles for your unique system configuration.
Fans stay quiet as a whisper for everyday computing, and deliver optimal airflow when the system is crunching through CPU- or GPU-intensive tasks.
The stress test allows you to optimize and overclock for CPU- or memory-centric workloads.

Little Things Make a Big Difference
We pay careful attention to all the little details that improve your overall experience, from utilizing exclusive codecs for pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls for a customized look. Prime TRX40-Pro S provides the tools you need to personalize your build for a more enjoyable creation process.

Pre-Mounted I/O Shield
Set Up without Slip-Ups
Form meets function in the pre-mounted I/O shield that we pioneered with the ROG series motherboards. Now available on Prime TRX40-Pro S, this feature streamlines the installation process for budding builders and savvy enthusiasts alike.
