Aorus trx40, a look at the new motherboard for threadripper 3000

Gigabyte begins to officially show their motherboards for Threadripper 3000, but only a little, since they have only shown one Aorus TRX40 model from very suggestive different angles.
Aorus TRX40, Gigabyte gives us a small look at its new motherboard for Threadripper 3000
AMD has promised to launch its next-generation Threadripper processors this month, and its official announcement would occur on November 7.
With this will come a staggering generational improvement, thanks to the increased efficiency of Zen 2, the boost from IPC, and AMD's new multi-chip design. How do we know this? We've seen it with AMD's second-generation EPYC products, and Threadripper is basically a scaled-down EPYC.
Gigabyte's Aorus sub-brand has started showing off a new motherboard for the third-generation Threadripper, which would be equipped with the TRX40 chipset. In the images we can see what appear to be four PCIe 16x lines, eight SATA ports and a four-channel memory configuration that supports two DIMMs per channel. The CPU side of this motherboard requires 8-pin CPU / EPS connections and has a 6-pin PCIe power connector at the base of the motherboard for supplemental PCIe power.
Like other next-generation Threadripper motherboards, which are said to be TRX40 motherboards, we can see that Gigabyte has added a massive VRM heatsink, targeting high-end TDP processors.

Looking a little more closely, we can see that the chipset heat sink contains a vent, suggesting that there is a fan underneath it. This suggests that this motherboard is not using an X399 chipset. This is a clear sign of a new chipset and support for PCIe 4.0, giving this board a similarity to those based on the X570.
AMD is expected to unveil its next-generation Threadripper series processors soon, and with it a battery of new motherboards to support it. We will keep you informed.
