ASUS has announced that an international group of elite overclockers has set 9 world records and 16 first-place finishes with ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI workstation motherboards leveraging select Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series and Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series processors, new HEDT CPUs from AMD that feature up to 96 cores and 192 threads.
This group of overclockers included Der8auer, Elmor, Massman, OGS, and Shamino, as well as Safedisk and Seby, who garnered 11 and 14 distinctions, respectively.
Here’s a breakdown of ASUS’ new overclocking records, which involved the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX, Ryzen Threadripper 7980X, and Ryzen Threadripper 7960X CPUs that AMD launched last month, as well as some of the features that users should find in the aforementioned motherboards:
- Seby set 4 world records and 10 global 1st places, including 151,617 in Cinebench R23, 6.415 in Y-cruncher Pi 1B, 471667 in GEEKBENCH3 Multi
- Safedisk achieved 5 world records and 6 global 1st places, including 210,702 in Cinebench R23, 659380 in Geekbench3 Multi and 3.920 in GPUPI For CPU
- Robust motherboard power and thermal design: 32+ power stages, 2 x 8-pin CPU power, massive active VRM cooling and chipset heatsink
- Dual power supply support for enhanced stability, performance and reliability during overclocking
Here’s what ASUS had to say about the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI’s CPU and memory overclocking features:
For AMD Threadripper 7000 series workstations and high-end desktop (HEDT) models, AMD offers CPU and DRAM overclocking options. To fully leverage the performance of the AMD processors, ASUS has incorporated an innovative dual power supply design on Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI motherboards. Along with robust power delivery and advanced cooling modules, these boards exhibit rock-solid stability during overclocking.
Hardware switches and optimized BIOS options on the motherboards provide overclocking enthusiasts with greater convenience when pushing their systems to the limit. The comprehensive synergy of EXPO and ECC R-DIMM further combines exceptional performance with outstanding stability, setting a new standard for workstation and high-end desktop computing.
And here’s what ASUS had to say about the motherboards’ thermal management and power features:
ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI motherboards have established numerous world records and secured global first places in overclocking due to their exceptional design and robust power delivery systems. Both motherboards are equipped with massive VRM heatsinks made of extruded aluminum, featuring a finned design that effectively draws heat away from the MOSFETs and chokes. This design is complemented by the presence of two fans on either side of the CPU socket, which create a steady stream of cool air to further divert heat from the motherboard, ensuring optimal thermal management during high-performance tasks.
The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard stands out with its highly capable VRM, consisting of (16*2)+3+3+3 power stages. This configuration provides the substantial power and efficiency required by top-end processors.
Similarly, the PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI motherboard is designed to handle powerful processors, featuring an overclocking-ready VRM with (18*2)+3+4+4 power stages. This robust power design is capable of delivering ample power for demanding applications and extreme overclocking scenarios.
“The Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE delivers remarkably stable performance at high frequencies, thanks to its 32 (16×2) power stages and dual power supplies. I’m genuinely impressed,” said Safedisk.
“After pushing the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI to its limits with a 64-Core AMD Ryzen Threadripper under liquid nitrogen,” said Der8auer. “I was struck by its exceptional performance. Achieving memory frequencies over 6000 MHz, even amidst the harsh LN2 conditions, while running RDIMM ECC, was a testament to its outstanding memory and CPU capabilities.”
“With the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI, you can tailor your TRX50 platform precisely to your needs,” he added. “The high-end VRM remains cool in every scenario, even under high CPU overclocking, laying the foundation for optimal results in both ambient and daily overclocking. I appreciate that the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI features two voltage rails and allows for individual CCD clocking. This enables fine-tuning of the CPU to suit various applications at the highest speeds.”
