The ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II is an extended-ATX workstation motherboard for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPUs on the WRX80 chipset. It stands out for seven PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, two U.2 ports, dual Intel 10G LAN, Wi-Fi 6E and ASMB9-iKVM remote management. It suits editors, 3D artists and engineers who need many cores, many cards and lots of fast storage. Rivals in this class offer fewer PCIe lanes or no 10G networking and out-of-band management, so it is a build for heavy professional workloads rather than gaming or general desktop use.

The ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II is an Extended ATX workstation motherboard for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors on the WRX80 platform. It supports overclocking and is aimed at professional workloads such as video editing and 3D rendering. It has seven PCIe 4.0 slots with SafeSlot fortification for high-powered graphics cards and storage devices.
Storage includes three M.2 slots and two U.2 slots, all wired to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth. The M.2 slots sit under dedicated heatsinks to prevent SSD throttling and come with ASUS Q-Latch. Unused CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes can be assigned to storage to build a bootable NVMe RAID array. The included ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 card is used for this, and RAID is limited to a maximum of 10 NVMe SSDs on the WRX80 platform.
The board supports ECC memory and DDR4 memory overclocking. An integrated ASMB9-iKVM baseboard management controller (BMC) allows remote management over IPMI, with one of the two Intel X550 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports dedicated to the BMC. Side-mounted front-panel connectors keep cables away from the graphics cards. USB BIOS FlashBack lets you update the BIOS from a FAT32-formatted USB drive, even without a CPU or memory installed.
