At CES 2019, ASUS showed off its new top tier X399 model with support for the 2nd generation Threadripper processors, the ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha. The new model has some striking differences to the ROG Zenith Extreme model including a new design, dual LAN (with an Aquantia 10G NIC) and an ASUS AURA Sync LiveDash 1.3 inch OLED screen built into the rear IO cover.
The ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha

The ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha has a very clean and neutral look with the majority of the PCB covered with extensive heatsinks, an IO panel cover, and a new PCB cover around the PCIe slots. Another major visual update to the Zenith range is the rear panel cover has an integrated ASUS AURA Sync LiveDash 1.3 inch OLED screen which is also featured on the ASUS ROG Dominus Extreme model announced for Intel's 28-core Xeon W-3175X which was announced late last year.

The ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha features an 8-phase power delivery made up of a total of 16 power stages. The power delivery heatsink extends around the power stages from the rear panel cover all the way to the two 8-pin 12 V ATX power connectors which allows AMD Threadripper processors to tap into as much power as it needs.
