Notwithstanding the eATX size, the DIMM slots are very close to the huge sTRX4 socket and also nestle by the VRM heatsink, so much so that Asus bundles in a dual-purpose screwdriver to pop the DIMM holders due to a lack of space. And if you’re going to max out the full eight modules, we’d suggest going for an AIO liquid cooler instead of a hulking air heatsink.

The BIOS meanwhile, is standard Asus. That translates to smooth navigation, decent fan control, and a solid array of tweaking options. By default, the small chipset fan is always on, but those who value absolute quietness can simply drag the Q-Fan curve to the right. Setting it to enable at, say, 80°C ensures that it remains off at all times, at the expense of raised heat around the chipset section.

Plumbing in our usual settings of 4.35GHz and 1.325V vcore sadly saw our system freeze under load, which was mildly concerning, but thankfully heading to the EFI and applying a modest amount of loadline calibration solved the problem and the system passed our stress test as well as a full run of benchmarks without a hitch.

Gigabyte’s TRX40 Aorus Xtreme is undeniably an insane motherboard that’s dripping with features, but at over £800, it’s not exactly affordable and even if you’re in the market for CPUs costing upwards of £1,200, you might think twice about splashing out when there are alternatives that will save you £300.

We’ve finally got some more affordable TRX40 chipset motherboards to show you this month and while they’ll still not leave you with much change from £500, they are significantly cheaper than those we’ve looked at so far.
