Performance

High-end desktop processors have greater power requirements due to the abundance of cores and memory channels. The latest Threadripper evolutions are particularly demanding, so intelligent VRM design and quality components are vital – especially for overclocked CPUs that live closer to the edge of stability. Accompanied with our critically-acclaimed UEFI and AI Suite tuning utility, ROG Zenith II Extreme offers an accessible range of manual tweaking tools, plus a highly-configurable auto-tuner that maximizes system control and performance with no expert knowledge required.

Teamed Power Architecture

Modern CPU architectures up the ante for motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power saving modes to full load almost instantaneously. Our latest VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

OPTIMEM III DDR4 4733MHz+ (O.C.)

Infused with proprietary memory trace layout tweaks that improve signal integrity and mitigate noise, OptiMem III allows memory kits to run at lower latencies and reduced voltages while operating at higher frequencies. Stack the Zenith II Extreme with your favorite modules and maximize latest Threadripper CPU throughput for applications that demand massive bandwidth, or balance Infinity Fabric and memory performance for a diverse range of workloads.

Multi-GPU Support

Fully loaded takes on a new meaning when you have up to 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes stemming from the CPU. These lanes can be split in an x16/x16/x16 configuration spanning the board's trio of PCIe x16 slots, allowing you to load up on GPUs to supercharge your work efficiency – whether you're a CAD professional, 3D artist or other content creation experts.

Triple PCIe 4.0 M.2

Serious Speed with Onboard M.2 Professional content creation applications require fast solid-state storage, which is why Prime TRX40-Pro is equipped with three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots that are compatible with the latest NVMe SSDs. All slots support up to 110 mm drives, and they can be configured into bootable RAID arrays for ultrafast data-transfer speeds.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Front-Panel Connector

Plenty of USB ports are provided to support high-end rigs loaded with peripherals, including a front-panel Type-C™ connector with faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for compatible cases.

Intel Ethernet

The latest Intel® I211-AT Ethernet has the advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput for faster, smoother data transfer.

Cool to the Core

Effective content creation demands a reliable, professional foundation. Prime TRX40-Pro is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads, so that your focus remains fixed on your creative goals.

Cooler by Design

Prime TRX40-Pro features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS.Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors, and via Fan Xpert 4 you can even map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

Tune It Your Way

Comprehensive controls form the foundation of the ASUS Prime series. Prime TRX40-Pro packs flexible tools to tune every aspect of your system, enabling you to tweak performance settings to perfectly match the way you work – maximizing your productivity.

UEFI BIOS

The renowned UEFI BIOS provides everything you need to configure, tweak, and tune your rig. It offers intelligently simplified options for newcomers to PC DIY, as well as comprehensive features for seasoned veterans.

Advanced Tuning for Serious Tweakers

When you're ready to take a deeper dive into the configuration of your rig, Advanced Mode grants total control. Each section is intuitively organized, and a built-in search feature makes it easy to find the option you need. Tweak cooling parameters, save profiles, apply overclocks, and unleash the full potential of the latest Ryzen processor.

FlexKey

The FlexKey offers a new option to remap the system reset button on the chassis to toggling Aura lighting on or off, activate Safe Boot or boot directly into the UEFI.

Search Function

Quickly and easily find the option or setting that you're looking for.

Little Things Make a Big Difference

We pay careful attention to all the little details that improve your overall experience, from utilizing exclusive codecs for pristine audio quality to intuitive RGB lighting controls for a customized look. Prime TRX40-Pro provides the tools you need to personalize your build for a more enjoyable creation process.

Pre-Mounted I/O Shield

Form meets function in the pre-mounted I/O shield that we pioneered with the ROG series motherboards. Now available on Prime TRX40-Pro, this feature streamlines the installation process for budding builders and savvy enthusiasts alike.

Aura Sync

A well-tuned enthusiast system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips and devices connected to the onboard RGB headers – and they can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
