Gigabyte Unveils Flagship TR4 X399 Designare EX Motherboard

Gigabyte Unveils Flagship TR4 X399 Designare EX Motherboard

Gigabyte is launching the X399 Designare EX, its flagship socket TR4 motherboard. The Designare EX – which supports AMD’s Threadripper processors – is effectively an Aorus X399 Gaming 7 board refresh. In fact, the Designare EX features the same PCB, but with armour-plated metallic silver motifs and lashings of RGB LEDs.

The Designare EX features an ATX form-factor, DDR4-3600 memory support (maximum of 128GB), four PCI-Express3.0 slots, and one PCI-Express3.0. In addition, the board boasts three 32Gbps M.2 slots and eight SATA 6Gbps ports. The board also supports 4-way AMD Crossfire/NVIDIA SLI. Presumably, that also includes 2-way AMD mGPU support for RX Vega cards.
