No, the TRX400 isn't a TRX socket. They're separate products.

I planned to purchase a TR2990wx but the 3970x model is now available—it's more affordable and performs better. I was considering an ASUS X399-E motherboard, though it uses the TRX socket while the TR3970x is for the TRX400. Are they compatible?

Apologies for the confusion. I intended to refer to the TRX40.

Threadripper 1 and 2: TR4 (x399) Threadripper 3: TRX40 The 3970X wouldn't fit on an X399 board. Every motherboard includes a CPU support chart in the 'support' section, which you might have looked at as well.

X399 belongs to the 1 and 2000 series, while TR is from the 3000 series.

They don't work together.

TRX40 is the latest chipset, while sTRX4 is the new socket. This isn’t compatible with the older 2990WX, which uses the sTR4 socket and requires an X399 chipset board. Therefore, a 3970X won’t work with an X399 board. The naming system has become really confusing lately, haha.
