Review on πŸ’ͺ GIGABYTE TRX40 AORUS Master: Powerful sTRX AMD TRX40 Motherboard with Fins-Array Heatsink and Cutting-Edge Features! by Cesar Hubbard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent workstation board for small business

4 months use with an AMD 3970x Threadripper processor with Noctua cooling and 256GB RAM. Transferred NVME sticks and hard drives from x570 Aorus Master to it and after some driver updates and a reboot it worked fine. The only thing that has given me trouble is a Sabrent NVME PCIe Gen 4 flash drive that has been practically lame for almost a year and I will probably never buy a Sabrent drive again. I do a lot of CAD, Mesh and CFD work and sometimes they use all 32 cores and sometimes swap memory after chewing all 256GB of RAM all day. A basic 1TB WD Black NVME Gen3 flash drive is great for storage. The system consumes more electricity per ton than the "old" 3900/570 design. Considering that Corsair 3600 memory is not ECC capable, this Gigabyte trx40 build is stable and reliable in production and definitely outperforms its weight class. I just wish it could handle 256GB+ RAM lol.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
