GIGABYTE WRTX90 AI TOP motherboard features active dual-fan memory cooler to cut temps by 43C

GIGABYTE just revealed a full spec sheet for its WRTX90 AI TOP motherboard, which is a motherboard custom made to support the new AMD Threadripper PRO 9000 WX and 7000 WX series CPUs. This is significant because it represents the upper limit on hardware options for high end workstation users looking to have huge memory and lots of GPU connections. This motherboard is focused at users who need things like ECC memory support and high speed network connectivity to perform computationally intensive tasks.

Board targets high-end workstations with 2TB memory and seven PCIe 5.0 slots

The WRTX90 AI TOP is built on the AMD WRX90 chipset and utilizes an sTR5 socket to support the newest generation of Threadripper PRO CPUs. The motherboard has an E-ATX form factor to make room for its powerful internal components and extensive expansion options. It includes the ASPEED AST2600 chip, which can deliver IPMI features for remote server management and monitoring.

Specifications

• Socket: sTR5
• Memory: Up to 2TB ECC DDR5 RDIMM (8 channels)
• PCIe Slots: 7x PCIe 5.0 (6x x16, 1x x8)
• Cooling: Active dual-fan DDR5 module
• Networking: Dual Intel X710 10GbE

One of the key components on this motherboard is memory performance. It can support up to 2TB of ECC DDR5 RDIMM memory via its 8 channels. To keep those high capacity memory modules cool, the WRTX90 AI TOP has an active cooling dual fan module. GIGABYTE claims that this active cooler can lower the memory temps by as much as 43 degrees C under load.

Expansion options on the motherboard are plentiful with a total of 7 full length PCIe 5.0 slots. 6 of them run at x16 while the final PCIe 5.0 slot is x8 to support multi-GPU workstations. The network connectivity on the motherboard is delivered via dual Intel X710 10GbE ports for fast data transfer when working with large files.

The WRTX90 AI TOP motherboard is set to be available in June 2026. GIGABYTE hasn't given out any specific pricing or retail availability details yet for this model. Potential buyers will want to keep an eye out for the official release channels when the launch timeframe gets closer.
