The company has created its new motherboards to support either 4-channel or 8-channel DDR5 RAM, supporting up to 1TB/2TB DDR5 ECC RDIMM memory, PCIe 5.0 connectivity, server-grade storage expansion including Slim-SAS and MCIO, super-fast 10GbE networking, and so much more.

ASRock said that its new WRX90 and TRX50 motherboards would give you the ultimate performance for almost every application, such as content creation, video rendering, high-end workstations,, and even AI machine learning.

ASRock has used a flagship-class server-grade ultra-low-loss PCB and 18+3+3 phase SPS Dr.MOS VRM design on both its new WRX90 WS EVO and TRX50 WS motherboards. This means you'll not only get the ultimate in performance but also fantastic reliability... even when you've got an insane 96-core CPU inside of the motherboard.

In order to provide the ultimate performance and longevity of its new motherboards, ASRock has used a gigantic aluminum heat pipe designed heatsink with server-grade cooling fans -- up to 5 cooling fans on the motherboard is kinda nuts, in a good way -- which provides the best in heat dissipation, with ASRock underlining this will be important when overclocking your Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processor.

AMD's new Ryzen Threadripper 7000 and Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX processors have some truly next-gen connectivity when it comes to PCIe lanes. On the WRX90 chipset, you've got 144 usable PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes, while on the TRX50 chipset, you've got 88 usable PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes. You've got 5 x PCIe x16 slots on the ASRock TRX50 WS motherboard and a whopping 7 x PCIe x16 slots on the ASRock WRX90 WS EVO motherboard.
