Discussing a TR board for the purpose of TR—whether it's TR for Zen and zen+ or zen 2 TR. Although both share the same number of pins, their wiring arrangements differ.
You need to choose a motherboard that matches your specific components. The sTR4 and sTR X4 boards have different processors, and their memory controllers vary—like sTRX4 using 8 channels versus 4. This means the wiring paths from the socket to the motherboard parts differ depending on the model.
It looks like cost is a concern. Threadripper might not be the best option unless you know exactly how many cores you need. You might want to explore an 8-core or 16-core Ryzen setup, which could save some money. I own an ASRock Taichi X399 and a 1950X—those are great choices!
