AMD Socket TR4 Support Three X399 Series Motherboards Released
Presented through ROG, ROG STRIX, and PRIME lineups ASUS is launching three X399 series motherboards supporting AMD's high-end desktop processors, the Ryzen Threadripper series.
AMD's new processor, the 'Threadripper' processor, has up to 16 cores and 32 threads, and uses a new standard, Socket TR4. ASUS will be introducing three X399 series motherboards that fully support the powerful performance of Threadripper through the ROG, ROG STRIX, and PRIME lineups.
ASUS X399 series motherboards are equipped with a variety of features to satisfy the needs of professionals and prosumers. Based on stability that can achieve the best performance in any environment, there is '5-Way Optimization' that allows one-click overclocking and cooling control, wide expandability, and further evolved AURA RGB lighting control.

New 'ROG Zenith Extreme' for AMD's HEDT lineup
The ROG Zenith Extreme is a new addition to the ROG lineup and is the only flagship model in ROG's AMD lineup. It is expected to satisfy high-end users with its excellent design and diverse features for the AMD Ryzen TR4 socket.
As the number of users interested in custom water cooling increases, pump headers, flow headers, and detection sensors for water cooling are installed throughout the PCB. In addition, the 'Fan Extension Card' allows for management of more than 9 cooling fans at the system level, and detailed cooling-related information for all headers can be checked through the 'FanXpert 4' software.
To ensure smooth use of increasingly large, high-spec graphic cards, sufficient spacing between PCIe slots has been provided. In addition, the included 'ROG VGA support' allows for stable installation of the graphic card even when it is installed horizontally, and can support up to 15 kg.
The ROG STRIX X399-E Gaming has a stylish exterior and a stylish design, and offers a variety of gaming-specific features as well as functions for online streaming.
Not only does it support 3-Way for NVIDIA's SLi and AMD's CF, it can bring out the powerful performance of the graphics card, but it also supports 32Gb/s U.2 interface, which can bring out the high-speed performance of the storage device to the maximum.
It also boasts ample expandability, including two M.2 SSD slots that support NVMe. Not only does the M.2 slot provide a cooling function that prevents throttling through its own heat sink, but it also has three NvMe SSDs, a double-wide GPU, and four PCIe x16 slots, so users can utilize them appropriately depending on their usage environment.
The PRIME X399-A is the perfect fit for users who want to enjoy the performance of the Threadripper processor at an affordable price. It features a design that is faithful to the basics to allow the features of the X399 platform to be implemented in the user's system, and provides balanced performance in any usage environment, including gaming, graphic work, and computing.
The PRIME X399-A boasts wide expandability, including two M.2 slots. Slot 1 is located around the heatsink, allowing for storage cooling technology via the heatsink, while slot 2 is located around the DIMM slot. If you additionally install a cooling fan for memory cooling, you can place both the memory and M.2 storage in the cooling fan area with a single fan. A U.2 port is also provided for users who want to use more types of devices.
