The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-Sage WiFi in detail:
The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-Sage WiFi is one of the workstation motherboards for AMDs Ryzen Threadripper processors 7000 CPUs and offers a wealth of features for the desktop workstation platform. The combination of the sTR5 socket and the TRX50 chipset is required for the Threadripper 7000 series prosumer processors to support their numerous business and professional features.

Other key features of the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-Sage WiFi motherboard include a WLAN/BT module (Intel WiFi 7, 802.11be) and two LAN ports with 2.5 and 10 Gbps each (Marvell AQtion 10Gb, Intel I226-LM 2.5Gb). For audio, the manufacturer relies on the Realtek ALC1220P audio codec. This provides two 3.5mm jacks and an optical Toslink output on the I/O panel.

Ports for every need
The motherboard features a USB 3.2 port (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2). This always takes the form of a USB Type-C connector and achieves a maximum data transfer rate of 20 Gbps. The I/O panel also features six USB 3.1 Type-A ports. USB 3.1 or USB 3.2 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port.

Internally, the motherboard offers a USB 3.1 Type-C port for modern PC cases. In addition, two USB 3.0 ports (one header) and four USB 2.0 ports (two headers) are provided.

Expansion slots and drive connectors
For plug-in and expansion cards, the CEB motherboard provides three PCIe x16 slots in the 5.0 standard and two with the PCIe 4.0 standard. Three M.2 slots are provided for connecting storage devices such as SSDs and hard drives, each with four PCI Express 4.0 lanes directly connected to the CPU. There are also four SATA 6G ports and one Slim SAS slot.
Caution:
TRX50 motherboards are only compatible with AMD Threadripper 7000 series processors. The sTR5 (SP6) socket differs from other Threadripper sockets due to a different pin assignment and is not compatible with older Threadripper CPUs or all CPUs in the Threadripper 7000 Pro series!

Note: Due to the size of the Ryzen Threadripper CPU, the sTR5 (SP6) socket differs significantly from conventional sockets. When installing the CPU, please carefully follow the instructions in the CPU or motherboard installation manual! This is an LGA socket! The pins are located on the socket, not the CPU.
