This motherboard supports 8-Channel DDR4-3200, up to 2 TB and comes with 7x PCIe 4.0/3.0 x16 slots, 2x Lightning Gen4 M.2, 8x SATA connectors, 2x U.2 connectors!
Taken from Wccftech … MSI’s WS WRX80 Is A Monster Motherboard For AMD Threadripper PRO With CPU & Memory OC Support & Frozr Cooling Design.
From what we have been able to gather, MSI is working on a brand new motherboard and its first-ever design for AMD’s Threadripper PRO family. This new product will be marketed as the MSI WS WRX80 motherboard and is loaded with features and technologies. The board is designed for both, AMD Threadripper PRO 3000WX and Threadripper PRO 5000WX CPUs which is kind of interesting since AMD only recently announced its Zen 3 workstation family but so far has limited it to Lenovo but this would be our first confirmation that the 5000WX parts are just timed-exclusive for Lenovo and will be coming to the wider DIY segment soon.
As for the specifications, the MSI WS WRX80 motherboard comes with a powerful VRM design that is incorporated on a 14 layer PCB, making use of 2oz thickened copper. There are 11 VRM phases (all-dedicated) and 105A digital power SPS units, all covered in an aluminum stacked fin array heat sink. The motherboard is powered by dual 8-pin connectors and a 24-pin ATX connector situated on the right side of the board.
Like most WRX80 offerings, the MSI WS WRX80 also comes with a horizontally aligned SP3 socket which has a total of eight DDR4 DIMM slots, four on each side. The memory support includes clock rates of up to 3200 Mbps and up to 2 TB capacities. We have also learned that with Threadripper 5000WX chips, the motherboard would allow both memory and CPU overclocking capabilities with AMP support.
