GIGABYTE TRX40 AORUS PRO WIFI (sTRX/AMD/TRX40/Fins-Array Heatsink/12+2 Phases Infineon Digital VRM/3x PCIe 4.0x4 M.2/Intel WiFi 6/Intel GbE LAN/ATX/Motherboard)

It's great for gaming and for the work I have to do on my computer good motherboard I recommend this to anyone

I received a defective system on arrival which wasn't apparent in enough time to send it back with in the allotted time. The system constantly reboots and purges its bios settings at random times. This means I have to constantly go through the bios to setup my machine, which can take a good 10 mins to boot up since it think its a new machine, and has to reset the bios. Another disappointment is that if I put the computer to sleep or hibernation mode, it will also reboot itself. Hence, if I want to keep my work, I have to shut my computer down every time I'm done using it. The ire! I've asked that I be given an opportunity to trade it in for another device, where they would send me the a replacement part and I would send them back the defective part (where I offered to give them the money for the part until they physically received the defective part) but they insist that I have to send it to them to get it fixed, which will take up to 3 to 4, or even more weeks. It is impossible to be with out the computer for a week, let alone 4+ weeks. I'm now looking to come out of pocket to purchasing another motherboard, or suffer the never ending irritation of using that motherboard.

I build my 24-Core Threadripper PC about 2.5 years ago with this Mobo and have had zero problems. I have been building PC's since 1994 and can tell you this is one Rock Solid Mobo if you get a quality PSU, CPU cooler, and RAM. I'm using the EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 80+ Platinum, 1000W, along with the EVGA CLC 360mm All-in-one RGB LED CPU Liquid Cooler, and Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 128GB (8x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) PC Memory Black (CMK128GX4M8X3200C16). Happy Building!

Perfectly done much like the taichi boards were for 1rst gen threadrippers.

For the most part this motherboard is fine. It works fine for games and high throughput computations (its not bottle necking).Overall, it is great for the price (considering this is $2-300 less than the other MOBO's out there). More worth it than ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme MOBOA few things to bear in mind:-There is fan on the motherboards chipset, which has a housing. This housing protrudes a little far from PCB. When installing the GPU's, I had to force it a bit because the the housing was stopping it from going all the way in. This was mildly concerning, but nothing went wrong.- If you were to put single slot GPU's on the first x8 PCIE and second x16 PCIE slot, you would almost completely choke the airflow for the motherboards chipset.- I installed 3 GPU's (x16 x16 x8). The second x8 would not fit a full sized GPU because of the motherboard's cabinet pins would have been blocked. I had to purchase a PCIE riser and use mount the GPU as a display card. Please note, this is not unique to this motherboard, many motherboards have this problem.- As some one else mentioned, one DIMM does touch the heat sink. This is only if the heat spreader is large. I installed ECC RAM, which has no heat spreader. The distance was not a problem and it does not effect the thermals. Additionally, the height profile is slightly lower than my RAM, it should not be a problem to put an air cooler on this.- Some say they cant fit their water blocks. I purchased a Bitspower Summit EL-X. It fits fine. Please be aware, Threadrippers are large chips, it is common sense that there will be less 'space' on the motherboard.- The 12V rgb 4pin didnt work? Or I coudnt figure it out? not important enough to care- The I/O Shield is connected to the MOBO. Unusual.- Wifi was not plug and play. At least on Linux. Of course, Ethernet > Wifi...- Overclocking in BIOS is weird. You have to scroll through a list that always starts at the lowest values (like 8x multiplier on 100mhz base = 8mhz... who runs a CPU at that now a days).- Using Linux, I had problems detecting the CPU temps. Eventually found ocerman's zenpower github. Worked great from there.- Performance was great. Testing on Cinebench R20, scores were above average from base clock to 4.5 GHz. Of course there are more factors involved. Point is, it performs fine.

I have 4 machines built around this mother board. I had a machine failure and not able to get help from Gigabyte support. I was desperate to get this PC back online so I searched for a TRX40 Pro Wifi motherboard hoping I could find an exact replacement. OHAHO had one so I ordered it. I received the new board quickly and was able to continue to troubleshoot my PC. I don't know what else to say. I got what I needed. Thanks!

3rd gen Threadrippers support 88 PCIe lanes, HOWEVER, try and find a motherboard that supports 88 PCIe lanes. Gigabyte just gives lip service about overhead. I call BUNK. 1st and 2nd gen Threadrippers supported 64 PCIe lanes and those motherboards had 64 PCIe lanes.Once a week, after turning on my computer, I blank screens. I have to do a hard shutdown and then power it back up. While it boots up, I have to keep tapping the Delete key to get into the BIOS. And guess what, as clockwork, once a week, it deletes my BIOS settings and I have to spend 20 minutes putting the settings back to where I had them. Oh, yes, I did try to download the settings onto a USB drive. When uploading after the next BIOS crash, it didn't recognize the drive or the the file once I got it to see the drive.why can't anyone make a decent WORKING motherboard any more?

Had alot of issues........
