If you are a professional, I’d urge people not to buy the ASUS variant.
I currently use the threadripper pro 3955WX, and I went with the ASUS sage WRX80 board. It was great, until the ipmi failed.
I RMA’d it, where they claimed there was damage to the board that didn’t match the photos I took before I sent it.
They then shipped it back via fedex, without signature and it got stolen.
I didn’t get an insurance payout because there was no signature required and ASUS never gave me the option. I lost one of my first professional video editing clients because of ASUS. I use the Asrock board now and it’s better plus it has TB4.
Failure rates of pc parts seem unreasonably high for the money we spend. My last build required the GPU and MB to be RMA’d and I just had a two month old NVMe drive die. Further, there doesn’t seem to be any data on which parts fail the least/most.
