How many people are going to have trouble considering that ASRock board because of all those little fans?
That’s not fair, I’m sure it has its big fans as well.
FYI They do not physically have the boards and are just looking at product pages.
I’m surprised buildzoid wasn’t there.
The TRX50 options:
- Gigabyte: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/TRX50-AERO-D#kf
- ASRock: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/TRX50%20WS/index.us.asp
- Asus: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-trx50-sage-wifi/
- Super Micro: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/h13sra-tf
One week from launch, there are still no pages that I could find for the WRX90 versions.
And still no price information for anything. Have other Threadripper launches been this way?
My choice seems to be either Asus or ASRock. The choice would be easy for ASRock if it weren’t for all those smaller fans which I worry will be loud. I wonder how much ASRock’s BIOS will let me control them to keep them quiet. I am not familiar with their BIOS and software quality as I’ve gone MSI or Gigabyte for my last few builds.
This doesn’t look very intersting like, TRX50 just looks like it exists to “get threadripper” without cutting into WRX90 features too much and isn’t Zen5 round the corner anyway…?
If you are a professional, I’d urge people not to buy the ASUS variant.
I currently use the threadripper pro 3955WX, and I went with the ASUS sage WRX80 board. It was great, until the ipmi failed.
I RMA’d it, where they claimed there was damage to the board that didn’t match the photos I took before I sent it.
They then shipped it back via fedex, without signature and it got stolen.
I didn’t get an insurance payout because there was no signature required and ASUS never gave me the option. I lost one of my first professional video editing clients because of ASUS. I use the Asrock board now and it’s better plus it has TB4.
Failure rates of pc parts seem unreasonably high for the money we spend. My last build required the GPU and MB to be RMA’d and I just had a two month old NVMe drive die. Further, there doesn’t seem to be any data on which parts fail the least/most.
It’s sad to see where ASUS is right now, they used to be fairly solid and dependable.
How can anyone take asrock seriously with that website?
Actually, I think I saw that board on ebay som time ago ^^
