Where all other TRX40 motherboards with the luxurious options sell at 800~1000 USD even, ASRock outs their TRX40 Creator, and the price is 499 USD. A heck of a lot of money, but features wise you still receive AX WOFO and 10 Gbps Ethernet. Worth it?

In this review I’ll be looking at the MSI TRX40 Creator motherboard. This is a board supporting the extreme upper end of the AMD product line and designed specifically for the Threadripper 3. This is my first hands on look at the new platform and while I really wanted to use the X399 I’m glad I waited.

The retail box for the EVGA X299 Dark is rather plain with few product specifications on the box. You will notice the “Optane” logo in the corner. This is not Optane DCPMM. Instead, it is Optane memory via SSDs.

Now they’re here: AMD’s 32-core 64-thread Threadripper 3970X and 24-core 48-thread 3960X have landed in our labs with the same core counts as their predecessors, but instead of a headline achievement like a doubling of core counts, Threadripper’s new architecture serves as the star of the show. The ‘Castle Peak’ design brings a new design that does away with many of the previous-gen Threadrippers’ eccentricities, which equates to massive performance gains across the board.

It is no secret that the AMD 7nm chips run somewhat warmer than previous generations, but the unique ASRock X570 Aqua looks to shake things up. The ASRock X570 Aqua features a full-cover aluminium and copper water block cooling the power delivery, CPU socket, and the X570 chipset all at once, and can be integrated into custom water cooling loops.

We’ve already reviewed ASRock’s other model, the TRX40 Taichi, which we thought was an excellent motherboard that offered a ton of features and excellent performance.

Intel’s Core i3-9350KF marks yet another iterative update to the company’s Core series, but it isn’t enough. AMD has stolen the overall performance leadership crown from Intel with its Zen 2 architecture, paired with the 7nm process in its Ryzen 9 and Threadripper 3000 series, but the damage also spans down to Intel’s high-volume budget offerings. In fact, Intel is often far less competitive in these mainstream segments.

The TRX40 Aorus Master’s shorter voltage regulator means it will fit more case and cooler combos. But its added depth means it will fit fewer ATX (but all EATX) cases. If this board plays well with the rest of our components and you like lots of expansion slots and M.2, it’s well worth considering.
