GIGABYTE Offers First Look at Threadripper TRX40 AORUS Motherboard

[Tsing]

GIGABYTE has released a teaser image of its first AORUS TRX40 motherboard. While this is just one photo, there are a few things we can glean from it, such as a socket that falls very much in line with the previous gen. This also appears to be an E-ATX board with RGB goodness.

Large fin arrays can be spotted around the CPU socket, this is likely an indicator of very high wattage of the Threadripper 3000 series (rumored to go up to 280W). We recently revealed that AMD is planning to announce the new TR series on November 5th. New motherboards are also expected to be showcased at the same time.

I kind of rolling my eyes at the RGB, but other than that it looks like it might be a good board.

To me Threadripper is really a workstation product. Why on earth would they make all of these gamertastic christmas tree versions of motherboards for them...
