ASUS has announced that its high-end workstation motherboard, the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE, has achieved 46 new performance records when paired with AMD’s latest Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors. These include eight world records, 31 global first-place results, and seven hardware-specific first-place rankings, highlighting the board’s appeal for professionals and overclockers pushing the limits of performance.
The results were achieved with processors ranging from the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9965WX to the flagship 9995WX, in collaboration with well-known overclockers CENS, SEBY, bl4ckdot, Paul7347 and jiacheng_liu. The combined platform has positioned ASUS’s Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE as a top-tier choice for those demanding workstation-class power and stability.
Breaking records with extreme performance
At the heart of these achievements is the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, featuring 96 cores, 192 threads, and a boost clock of up to 5.4GHz. Overclockers CENS and SEBY used the ASUS board to push the processor beyond its limits, notably breaking the HWBOT 265 Benchmark 4K world record by 20%—a record previously held by the same motherboard.
Designed to handle this level of performance, the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE features a power solution comprising (16 x 2) + 3 + 3 + 3 power stages. Large aluminium heatsinks and two integrated fans manage thermal output, keeping the VRM components cool under stress. This robust design ensures the board remains stable even during sustained overclocking.
ASUS has also integrated a number of tools aimed at enthusiasts and professionals. These include an LN2 mode jumper for subzero cooling, a W_PUMP+ header for high-power custom liquid cooling setups, and multiple voltage measurement points. Dedicated buttons for ReTry and Safe Boot simplify the tuning process, especially during high-risk overclocking attempts.
Built for creators and professionals
Beyond overclocking, the Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE is tailored for professional workloads where memory bandwidth and system reliability are essential. The motherboard includes eight R-DIMM slots supporting ECC memory in an eight-channel configuration. This setup provides enhanced data integrity and long-term stability—critical for engineers, researchers and content creators handling intensive computational tasks.
Support for ECC memory, combined with AMD EXPO profiles, allows the board to balance high performance with system reliability. ASUS has also equipped the board with comprehensive expansion and connectivity features, making it suitable for high-performance storage setups, graphics-heavy applications, and multi-device workflows.
Expanding the AMD sTR5 motherboard line-up
ASUS has also introduced the Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WiFi A, a more compact alternative that still supports AMD’s sTR5 socket processors. This addition extends the company’s workstation-class motherboard offerings, providing users with more options depending on their space and performance requirements.
With the record-setting Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE and the new TRX50-SAGE WiFi A, ASUS is reaffirming its commitment to high-performance computing platforms for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
