We already got a good look at the board but AORUS has decided to unveil its impressive power layout in the latest teaser. > Something thing that can immediately be spotted in the latest teaser is the power delivery system. It looks like the TRX40 AORUS XTREME would be fitted with an outstanding 16 phase power layout which will be powered by a range of 8-pin CPU connectors (not shown yet). The motherboard socket looks very similar to the existing TR4 socket featured on X399 motherboards. Even the mounting mechanism is similar to the one featured on current TR4 motherboards. What we have heard is that the configuration for the pins will be different on the new socket hence it will be termed as TR4+. There are reports that have suggested that the socket wouldn't support the previous-gen Threadripper CPUs, but those are just rumors and nothing is currently set in the stone.
