ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI Workstation Motherboard

The ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI is an extended-ATX workstation motherboard engineered for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO series processors. Designed for professional creative workloads including video editing, 3D rendering, and multi-threaded applications, this motherboard delivers enterprise-grade performance with 24/7 reliability testing.

Extreme Multi-Core Processing Power

Built on the AMD WRX80 chipset with sWRX8 socket compatibility, this motherboard supports AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors with 8-channel memory architecture. The system accommodates up to 2048GB of DDR4 memory across 8 DIMM slots, supporting ECC, non-ECC, buffered, and un-buffered configurations including U-DIMM, R-DIMM, and 3DS R-DIMM at speeds up to 3200MHz.

Professional Graphics and Expansion

Seven PCIe 4.0 x16 slots with SafeSlot fortification provide exceptional multi-GPU capability, supporting both NVIDIA 4-Way SLI and AMD 4-Way CrossFireX configurations. The reinforced SafeSlot design uses insert-molding with metal fortification for enhanced strength and durability. Two additional 6-pin PCIe power connectors ensure stable power delivery when running multiple high-end graphics cards.

High-Speed Storage Configuration

Storage flexibility includes three M.2 slots (supporting 2242/2260/2280/22110 form factors) with dedicated heatsinks, two U.2 connectors for NVMe devices, and eight SATA III ports. All M.2 slots support PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth with NVMe RAID capability. The included HYPER M.2 x16 Gen 4 card enables additional high-speed storage expansion.

Enterprise Networking and Remote Management

Intel X550-AT2 dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers provide ultrafast network connectivity. The integrated ASMB9-iKVM module features a dedicated BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) with IPMI architecture for out-of-band remote management, enabling administrators to monitor, control, and troubleshoot systems remotely. Intel WiFi 6 AX200 module delivers wireless speeds up to 2.4 Gbps with Bluetooth 5.1 support.

Comprehensive Connectivity

USB connectivity includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port (20Gbps), nine USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers, and USB 2.0 support. The Realtek ALC4080 audio codec provides 7.1 surround sound with 120dB SNR playback output, DTS:X Ultra support, and premium Japanese-made audio capacitors.

Professional Thermal Management

An actively cooled VRM heatsink with optimized fin density and custom low-noise fan (60,000-hour L10 lifespan) ensures sustained performance. Three M.2 heatsinks prevent thermal throttling during heavy storage workloads. Multiple fan headers (CPU, CPU OPT, six chassis, VRM heatsink, and chipset) provide comprehensive cooling control.

Workstation Reliability

Tested for 24/7 operation at temperatures up to 45°C and 80% humidity, the Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI undergoes extensive compatibility validation. Features include BIOS FlashBack for tool-free BIOS updates, pre-mounted I/O shield, 16-stage power delivery, and side-mounted front-panel connectors for cleaner cable management.
