ASROCK WRX90 WS EVO

ASROCK WRX90 WS EVO
This motherboard, featuring the AMD WRX90 chipset and a TR5 socket, provides a platform designed for demanding workstations using AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000/7000 WX-Series processors. The EEB format board has eight DDR5 ECC RDIMM memory slots supporting an eight-channel mode and overclocking up to 7600MHz, seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for maximum expandability, and an 18+3+3 phase power system with a 110A SPS VCore power design. It's equipped with server-grade MCIO and SlimSAS storage connectors, dual Intel X710-AT2 10GbE LAN, USB4 technology, and remote management via an Aspeed AST2600 BMC controller with an IPMI interface.
Key features of the ASROCK WRX90 WS EVO motherboard
- Support for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000/7000 WX-Series processors with 18+3+3 phase power and 110A SPS VCore, ensuring stable performance under heavy loads
- Eight DDR5 RDIMM slots with support for up to 2TB of ECC memory and an eight-channel architecture, with overclocking potential up to 7600+ MHz
- Seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots allow for the installation of multiple powerful graphics and expansion cards
- Server-grade fourteen-layer PCB with 2oz copper layers and Ultra Low Loss technology improves signal integrity and supports high-performance PCIe 5.0 devices, including graphics cards and M.2 SSDs
- Dual 10GbE Intel X710-AT2 LAN with USB4 Type-C interface offering transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s, a dedicated IPMI LAN, and an Aspeed AST2600 BMC controller for remote system management and monitoring
Powerful power system and PCB
The power system, with its 18+3+3 power phases and 110A SPS design, ensures a stable power supply even for the more demanding Threadripper PRO processors. A composite VRM heatsink with active cooling, XXL-sized aluminium radiators, and a heat pipe dissipates heat with maximum efficiency. The board uses a fourteen-layer, low-loss server-grade PCB with 2oz copper layers, which improves the signal integrity necessary to support PCIe 5.0 for both graphics cards and M.2 SSDs, while also increasing memory overclocking potential.
Expandability and storage
Seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots provide full fifth-generation PCIe performance for graphics cards and expansion cards, covering the needs of professional design, deep learning, simulations, and rendering. Eight DDR5 RDIMM ECC slots support up to 2TB of memory with automatic error detection and correction, ensuring workstation stability even when working with multiple memory modules. For data storage, the board offers one Blazing M.2 slot with PCIe Gen5 x4, reaching transfer speeds of up to 128Gb/s, one Hyper M.2 slot with PCIe Gen4 x4, four SATA III ports, and server connectors – two MCIO, one SlimSAS SFF-8654, and another SlimSAS SFF-8654. The ATX_Con header allows a second power supply to be connected via a Multi-PSU adapter.
Connectivity and management
Network connectivity is provided by dual Intel X710-AT2 10GbE LAN with a transfer speed of 10Gb/s over a Cat6 cable, fully compatible with 5Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s, and gigabit networks, supplemented by a dedicated IPMI LAN port. Two USB4 Type-C ports on the rear panel offer transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s and are complemented by four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports.
