V-Color Announces DDR5 RDIMMs for AMD Threadripper TRX50 Platform
V-Color Technology Inc., Announces the launch of their DDR5 overclocking R-DIMM tailored for the new TRX50 Motherboards powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors. Available in capacities ranging from 64 GB (16 GB x4) to 128 GB (32 GB x4) and speeds up to DDR5-7200. The V-Color DDR5 OC R-DIMM memory is primed to unleash its full potential with AMD EXPO ready technology, designed for a diverse user base encompassing both non-overclocking users and enthusiasts who engage in overclocking, with a specific focus on content creators, intensive 3D modelers, and AI programmers.
Designed with meticulous precision, offering uncompromised compatibility and enhanced performance, ensuring seamless integration with AMD TRX50 Motherboards, including the ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI, Gigabyte TRX50 AERO D, and ASRock TRX50 WS.Availability
V-Color DDR5 Overclocking R-DIMM for AMD TRX50 Motherboards is set to be released at the end of November. It will be available on the V-Color official website initially and later from distribution partners worldwide.

There will be 16 & 24GB dimms with max. 7800MHz and 32GB DIMMs with max 6400MHz.
There are listed also many 48, 64 and 96GB DIMMs but only with max 5200MHz speeds.
UDIMMs use 5V while RDIMMS use 12V.

...
DDR5 RDIMMs/LRDIMMs use 12 V and UDIMMs use 5 V input. In order to prevent damage by accidental insertion of the wrong memory type, DDR5 UDIMMs and (L)RDIMMs are not mechanically compatible.

All AMD is doing here is adding to the E-Waste pile. Now if they want to ditch DDR5 entirely and move AM5 to the standard and make the platforms all unified on memory standard, then sure.
ECC in every platform is very long overdue change. About bloody time it happened. ECC solves plethora of problems with memory which plagues/d non-ECC sticks. It's mainy Intel fault that they artificially limit(ed) its adoption for past 15 years when AMD was in the wilderness. If AMD would have products like Zen today back then, we would have ECC DDR3/4 in desktops for the masses.
I've been using Threadripper for going on now 6 years on 32GB of DDR4-3200 "B Die" and did 24 straight hours of memtest to verify stability and rule out errors. Haven't had an issue with memory errors. I've even tightened the timings up since I did my sys specs. 14-14-14-28-1T @ 1.325V @ 3266 in quad-channel 4x8GB sticks.
If the same memory requirement was imposed for TR on X399 you'd be limited to 2666 which would cripple the performance of the platform. There is a time and a place for each memory type and RDIMMs on an enthusiast, overclocking platform is not one of them. If you wanted to do ECC only and allow support for both non-ECC and ECC then sure. But, requiring REGISTERED memory.. No. To me this looks like AMD really did kill off Threadripper and the only reason they brought it back is because the server market has shifted more to GPUs and server CPU sales are likely beginning to stagnate. To think, I was willing to spend some money on bumping to this new platform.. Not anymore. I'm staying on X399 for a while longer.
