CORSAIR Launches New 48GB, 96GB and 192GB Memory Kits

[btarunr]

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced massive new capacities for its DDR5 memory kits, thanks to new 24 GB and 48 GB UDIMM modules. For the first time from CORSAIR, PC builders can choose from 192 GB (4x 48 GB), 96 GB (2x 48 GB), or 48 GB (2x 24 GB) memory kits. Available in either VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 or VENGEANCE DDR5 kits, these new high capacities are ideal for the most demanding, high-capacity applications such as 8K video editing, as well as DRAM-heavy AI and deep learning workloads. Motherboards with just two memory slots, including Micro ATX and Mini-ITX builds, where space is tight but large capacities are needed also benefit.

CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5, already top choices for performance enthusiasts, are optimized for the latest gaming PCs and workstations and at these new capacities give custom PC enthusiasts the option to build with memory configurations that weren't possible until now. Both 96 GB and 48 GB kits are available immediately in both RGB and non-RGB flavors, running at 5,600MT/s and 5,200MT/s and support Intel XMP 3.0 memory overclocking to ensure owners can easily run their memory at the intended speeds.



Launching in early March 2023, 192 GB (4x 48 GB) 5,200MT/s VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 kits set a new standard for high capacity DDR5. These quad-DIMM kits are compatible with Intel 13th-Gen systems and support the same Intel XMP 3.0 easy overclocking for optimal performance.

Continuing the CORSAIR tradition of producing superior quality and reliable DRAM, VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 modules are built using only hand-sorted, tightly-screened memory chips to ensure consistent high-frequency performance, along with high-performance PCBs for excellent signal quality and stability. A limited lifetime warranty grants you peace of mind that your new memory will last throughout your machine's lifespan and beyond.

DDR5 ensures today's high-end CPUs receive data as quickly as possible, elevating system performance and processing power to greater heights. These new kits deliver ground-breaking capacities that push the boundaries for small form factor memory performance.

Availability, Warranty
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 96 GB and 48 GB kits are available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 192 GB kits will be available from March 7, 2023 from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

So no AMD Expo kits.

 

[JimmyDoogs]

Wow 96 GB's of DDR5 5600 for $390. Prices dropping fast. Still, is there anyway to use more then 32GB of RAM? I haven't found a way in gaming applications at least.

 

[Dirt Chip]

Nice.
I have 2*32GB 5200, can it pair with those 2*24GB?
Dose SR\DR matter in this case?

If just gaming 32gb is plenty for years to come, but if you start streaming etc editing you might want to opt more

Lightroom+photoshop with couple of web browsers go 35-45GB.
primire pro or after effect also.
With heavy project you can reach 50+GB easily.

32GB for gaming is what 128GB is for contant creation, very few will need more.

 

[Dristun]

There are already some games that list 32gb as recommended today - a sure-fire indicator that it's now time to buy bigger kits if you don't like closing the browser and all other apps before starting your gaming session. 48GB seems handy, if you'd ask me, I'm glad these options exist now!

 

[mrnagant]

This is pretty cool. Hopefully prices land where they should. I'd go in on 48GB. If its $150 for 32GB and $300 for 64GB, 48GB better be $225. I don't do anything fancy and sit at 16/20GB before I start a game. Over the next 5 years I expect my baseline to only increase while games will use more themselves.

MSRP is in the images at the end of the article. 48GB/5200 C38 comes in at $184.99 without RGB. Add $10 each for 5600 C40 & RGB.

I've been running 32Gb of ram in most of my PC's for a number of years now and its always been overkill considering my PCs are used strictly for gaming and web surfing. I only recently started thinking about upgrading to 64GB on my next build due to Icarus recommending 32Gb. It makes me wonder if more games will require such a large amount of ram.

These kits are interesting for sure. I may grab one for my next build.

I use my pc for mainly very high end VR, live streaming and content creating but have never gone above 24GB of physical ram usage. I've even attempted to use as much ram as I possibly could to see what I could push my computers limits and thats when I only got to 23GB. When I'm live streaming using the Varjo Aero HMD, playing VR games with mods, have my web browser open with 12 or more programs for streaming, I'm usually averaging 18GB of ram. The video editing I do at 1440p or 1080p doesn't push the ram either.

Now when my cached/stand by memory gets utilized it does reach 32GB but from my understanding Windows uses that for physical memory when needed without any issues. So unless I'm not understanding cache/stand by memory correctly then I can't imagine what scenarios would cause a gamer, live streamer and content creator to use 32GB or more unless they are using a very niche game mod for say DCS world, or doing 4K video editing or 3D modeling while live streaming.

I bounced between getting 32GB and 64GB for weeks until I realized that I can't even fully utilize 32GB if I have everything I possibly use open on my pc. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

While slowly increasing due to engine advancements, games will only "require" the amount of ram that gaming consoles allow their customers + gaming companies need to deliver the new killer feature that triggers the industry to keep up with the Joneses.

"Recommended" being that different story, which is only relative to what the game could use while allowing you to also browse/watch/stream comfortably.

If someone wanted to browse the web, downstream netflix, upstream twitch and encode a 4K project while doing their CAD homework... I would inquire about their superpowers and drug enhancement suppliers before their RAM count!

Who says our 3rd eye couldn't use a little help every now and then.

 

[trsttte]

Wow that's excessive, unless you do some heavy content production or code and run more pro oriented workloads 32gb is very excessive.

Yeah, can't wait for someone to run some tests on the performance loss with these higher density dies like with DDR4

I'm not sure his reasoning is quite right but the performance loss is demonstrably there.

 

[Object55]

That's all nice and all, but we would like some fast 2x8gb DDR5 kits for 100. Thanks

 

[robert3892]

The 48GB and 96GB modules are not on the Corsair website yet. Maybe somebody jumped the gun on the press release.

 

[AusWolf]

So no AMD Expo kits.

This is what crossed my mind as well.

Also, they're not exactly speed demons by the looks of it.

 

[Super Firm Tofu]

This is what crossed my mind as well.

It's because the AMD platform doesn't support memory modules of this size. It's a recent update that allows these to function on Intel 600 & 700 series boards. See here:

MSI Enables Support for 24 & 48 GB DDR5 DIMMs, up to 192GB RAM

Today MSI is announcing the support of 48 GB and 24 GB DDR5, non-binary memory across Intel 700 and 600 Series motherboards, including MEG, MPG, MAG, and PRO Series products. Namely, the maximum memory capacity support is increased to 192 GB for 4 DIMMs motherboards and 96 GB for 2 DIMMs...

No, the embargo lifted at 6am PDT. The press release was ACTUALLY 30 minutes late

There are Corsair RAM kits that released several weeks ago that still aren't listed, mostly the quad module Vengeance/Vengeance RGB kits. Their website has been a bit... behind for a while now.

 

[qubit]

First time I've seen RAM whose capacity isn't a power of 2. I'd rather see it maxed out than this.

 

[Minus Infinity]

Ok when I saw CL40 I thought this will suck for Zen4, a true performance killer, but doesn't support Zen 4 or vice versa. Still I would touch CL40 on Raptor Lake either. DDR5 7200 CL32 is nice.

 

[bonehead123]

Yea this is nice & all, but the REAL question is:

Can it run the "Can it run Crysis" app ????? j/k....

At work, our CAD/CAM towers have been running 128GB for almost a year now, and with the latest software updates, it looks like they will soon be needin moar...

And my son has had 64GB in his gammin rig for a good while now, but has yet to complain about any bottleneckin, so I guess he's good for a little while longer...

4K is the basic res for video edit. The baseline for my video\photo edit is 25-30GB when all else is close and you quickly go above 35GB. I`v seen ~50GB usage when doing more complex things. That is "in use" memory, not "standby".
I guess you can treat "standby" as "free" to some degree. As long as you under 26-28GB you are fine with 32GB.

 

[torgoth]

Is this to become the new standard, or is it just enthusiast level? (mean from 8,16 to 24,48, etc.)

There are no EXPO (AMD's newest version of XMP) profiles for this RAM at launch.
Corsair are listed as an EXPO partner, so they will hopefully release an EXPO version soon.

 

[Bokinator]

Wow so really need to choose between speed or capacity now, wonder how well these OC
