performance-first • Cyber-Ice RGB edition</strong> 🔒 </h3> <blockquote> <p><strong>Design goal:</strong> Push a <strong>single-socket workstation</strong> to the highest practical workstation-class level without crossing into server architecture, while retaining extreme <strong>AI, rendering, simulation, professional video/photo editing, 4K gaming, and creator</strong> capability.</p> <p><strong>Rule:</strong> RGB is allowed only where it does <strong>not</strong> compromise compute, PCIe topology, storage, power delivery, cooling, reliability, or physical fit.</p> </blockquote>

I also incorporated the corrections from the last compatibility pass rather than carrying forward known mismatches. The WRX90E-SAGE SE provides 8-channel ECC RDIMM memory, six PCIe 5.0 x16 slots plus one x8-mode slot, four PCIe 5.0 M.2 interfaces, two PCIe 4.0 x4 SlimSAS NVMe interfaces and four SATA ports.
