The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI CEB Workstation motherboard, along with the accompanying Phantek NV7 case and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 7960x processor. As an avid PC builder and professional content creator, I have high expectations for any workstation motherboard I invest in. After thorough research and consideration, I can confidently say that this combination of products has exceeded my expectations.Firstly, let's talk about the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI CEB motherboard. This powerhouse of a board boasts impressive specs and features that are perfect for any workstation build. With its support for AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper processors, including the top-of-the-line 7960x, this motherboard has the ability to handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.One of the standout features of this motherboard is its extensive connectivity options. It comes equipped with dual Intel® X550-AT2 10G LAN ports, allowing for lightning-fast internet speeds for seamless streaming and file transfers. Additionally, it has eight SATA 6Gb/s ports and four M.2 slots for ample storage options. The built-in Wi-Fi also provides convenient wireless connectivity.Another key aspect that sets this motherboard apart is its stability and reliability. The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI CEB features ASUS' exclusive Digi+ VRM technology, ensuring stable power delivery to all components at all times. This not only boosts performance but also prolongs the lifespan of your system.Now let's move on to the Phantek NV7 case a sleek and stylish addition to any workstation setup. This mid-tower case offers ample space for all your components while maintaining a clean and organized look. The tempered glass side panel adds a touch of elegance to the overall design while allowing you to showcase your powerful hardware. The NV7 case also excels in terms of functionality. It comes with plenty of airflow options, including a front mesh panel and top exhaust vents, ensuring efficient cooling for your components. The cable management system is also well thought out, making it easy to keep your build tidy and clutter-free. It was not a perfect fit with the case on the led feature side but with a grinder I was able to create the space to add the rgb feature.Last but not least, the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 7960x processor truly completes this workstation setup. With its 16 cores and 32 threads, this processor delivers exceptional performance when it comes to multitasking and heavy workloads. Pairing it with the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI CEB motherboard allows for smooth and seamless operation, making my work more efficient and productive.In conclusion, I highly recommend the combination of ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI CEB Workstation motherboard with Phantek NV7 case and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 7960x processor for any professional looking to build a high-performing workstation. These products truly complement each other in terms of features, functionality, and design, providing an exceptional user experience. Trust me; you won't be disappointed with this investment!

I'm using the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE motherboard with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970x, 384GB of V-Color RAM (TR596G60D432Q), and a Silverstone XE360-TR5 cooler. This combination is working well and I'm very happy with it. I did, however, run into a few problems along the way...1) I tried using a 140mm Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 air cooler with this board, but it would not fit - the cooling fins interfered with the motherboard's cooling at the front (and maybe rear) of the board. A 92mm Noctua NH-D9 TR5-SP6 cooler does fit, but might not provide adequate cooling depending on the CPU being used.2) Placing certain GPUs in the PCIe slot nearest to the CPU caused the 10Gb Lan port to not work. Moving the problematic card (Radeon PRO W6600) to another slot worked - unfortunately, due to other problems, it ended up in one of the PCIe Gen 4 slots instead of one of the PCIe Gen 5 slots.3) When using multiple GPUs, boot messages and BIOS/EFI config are output using the GPU placed in the second PCIe slot from the CPU. For my particular use case, I'd have preferred to be able to set the slot used for this purpose. (I couldn't find a BIOS setting which did this.)4) The board supports the use of two power supplies, but I used just one. When using one, in addition to the 24-pin ATX connector, it also requires two 8-pin CPU connections, one 8-pin PCIe power connection, and one 6-pin PCIe power connection. This may or may not be a problem depending on the power supply chosen. (I used a Seasonic Prime PX-1600.)5) I failed to get the USB 20Gbps Type-C® Front Panel connector to work.6) I ended with more fans than fan headers on the motherboard; I used Thermaltake fan hub to work around this problem.7) The Q-CODE (diagnostic) LEDs will be hidden by a double slot card placed in PCIe slot #5.8) There are three M.2 slots, but the maximum length is 80mm (used by 2280-sized M.2 devices). I have a 22100 Intel Optane device that I wanted to place in one of these slots.9) Eight connectors (two PCIe power connectors), USB 5Gbps header, four SATA ports, and the SlimSAS port) are accessed from the front (as opposed to the top) of the board. This was probably done to provide clearance for long GPUs. It also make cable management cleaner, depending on the case being used. However, again depending on the case, it can be really hard to plug/unplug cables into/from these ports. That said, that section of the board is narrower, front-to-back, in order to make it easier to access these connectors. With the case that I used, once I installed the cooler, there was very little room to operate in the space available.

I was super excited to do a Threadripper build this year and had figured to get all the parts I wanted. While the board arrived in seemingly new and flawless condition, the system refused to post and held on the Amber light (Memory for ASUS LED codes) and would refuse to budge. Reset CMOS, updated BIOS, no luck. Paired it with a 7960X and EK Quantum Magnitude block that was full coverage and easy to install so I don't believe improper pressures or mounting was done.This board failed with the following RAM kits:64GB Crucial DDR5 6400 MTC40F2046S1RC56BR x4G.SKILL Zeta R5 NEO Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 192GB (4x48GB) 6400 F5-6400R3239G48GQ4-ZR5NK x1This, despite independently confirming through Crucial and G.Skill that these RAM kits would work on the board through their own checking tools.Thought maybe it was the board at first. Returned it, got a replacement. SAME deal. After two shots at this and stripping a custom loop each time, I was understandably frustrated. Sorry ASUS and AMD but no money from me. Maybe a different board would've worked better. If you CAN get a working combo, man, what a dream board. Just too bad I couldn't get a chance to make this build work.
