SOLID HARDWARE SPECS

With comprehensive cooling options and robust power delivery to fuel CPUs with more cores, plus faster storage and memory, ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming provides all the essentials you need to harness the full potential of components in your build for top-tier gaming performance.

POWER DESIGN

Digital power control and an array of power stages ensures ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming has the muscle to control the latest Threadripper CPUs.

ProCool II Power Connectors

ProCool II sockets are built to tight specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines and have a metal armor for improved heat dissipation. The connector’s lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and improves reliability.

COOLING INNOVATION

ACTIVE VRM HEATSINK

An active VRM heatsink provides a large contact area for the MOSFETs and chokes, enabling more efficient cooling of the MOS heatsink for better performance and wattage resistance.
STACKED-FIN HEATSINK

Closely-packed, multi-layered fins maximize the surface area to speed heat dissipation from the controller, improving cooling.
DUAL M.2 HEATSINK

The M.2 heatsink keeps the Dual M.2 SSD at the optimum operating temperature for consistent performance and reliability.

BACKPLATE

A backplate on the rear of the board helps balance MOSFET temperatures while providing structural reinforcement.
THERMAL PAD

A high-quality thermal pad helps transfer heat from the inductor and phase array to the heatsink.
ACTIVE CHIPSET HEATSINK

PCIe 4.0 provides twice the bandwidth for data flowing through the chipset, which creates more heat than the previous generation. ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming features an actively cooled heatsink to prevent throttling during sustained transfers.

ACTIVE CHIPSET HEATSINK

ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming series features the most comprehensive cooling options ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS

Custom Delta Superflo Fan

The custom low-noise fan features a high-durability bearing with a 60,000-hour L10* lifespan.
* L10 bearing life is a standard metric that specifies the number of hours that 90% of the bearing are expected to continue successfully operating, as a minimum.

Air Duct

A specially-designed air duct helps the fan generate static pressure and concentrates air flow over the fins.

SoC Heatsink

ROG Strix TRX40-E gaming features an SoC VRM heatsink positioned in the pathway of the chipset fan’s airflow to enable the SoC VRM to stay cool during memory overclocking.

Finned Heatsink

The heatsink fin density is optimized to maximize surface area while maintaining a low-resistance exhaust path.
