Asrock TRX50 WS AMD TRX50 Socket sTR5 Extended ATX - Motherboard

ASRock TRX50 WS (AMD TRX50 Socket sTR5 Extended ATX) - Professional workstation motherboard launched for the high-end workstation market, this motherboard brings Threadripper-class performance to demanding creators and engineers.

The ASRock TRX50 WS supports AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1000 Series processors in the Socket sTR5, offering a robust platform for multi-core workloads. With the AMD TRX50 chipset and extended ATX form factor, it is engineered to provide maximum expansion and stability for pro use.

Memory capabilities are impressive: four DIMM slots support DDR5-SDRAM in a quad-channel configuration, with ECC compatibility and up to 1 TB total memory. Supported memory speeds reach up to 7600 MHz for memory-hungry applications and large datasets.

Storage and expansion are extensive with two M.2 slots, PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 lanes, two PCIe x16 Gen4 slots and three PCIe x16 Gen5 slots. RAID 0/1/10 support and four SATA III connectors let you build fast, redundant storage arrays for video editing, virtualization, or large-scale simulations.

Connectivity focuses on professional networking and peripherals with dual Ethernet ports (2.5G/5G/10G capable) driven by Dragon RTL8125BG and Marvell AQtion AQC113C controllers. Wi‑Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.2 are integrated with dual antenna jacks for strong wireless performance, and Wake-on-LAN is supported for remote management.

Front and rear I/O are rich and versatile: multiple USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen1 and Gen2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, audio with Realtek ALC1220 supporting 7.1 channels plus S/PDIF out, TPM and Thunderbolt headers, and comprehensive fan and power connectors for stable cooling and power delivery.

For system builders and IT professionals, the board includes UEFI AMI BIOS (256 Mbit) with features like Clear CMOS button, ASRock utilities (A-Tuning, Dragon LAN software, Polychrome SYNC), bundled cables, antennas and mounting hardware, and certification (FCC, CE). It supports Windows 11 and is tailored for long-term reliability in workstation environments.

Use cases include professional content creation, 3D rendering and simulation, software development with heavy virtualization, and high-throughput server-like tasks. Key selling points are quad-channel DDR5 ECC support up to 1 TB, PCIe Gen5 expansion, multi-gigabit networking, and a workstation-grade feature set designed for demanding pro workflows.
