While Intel 600- and 700-series chipset motherboard already support non-binary memory modules and kits, such support has yet to be implemented on AMD's AM5 motherboard, but, judging from screenshots posted on ASUS ROG forums, AMD motherboard partners are working on it and it should be just around the corner.

The screenshot from ASUS Tech Marketing person, named Raja, which was posted on ASUS ROG forums, shows the ASUS ROG STRIX X670-E motherboard running 192 GB of DDR5 memory. These are four 48 GB Corsair modules running at 2600 MHz (5200 MT/s). The post includes both CPU-Z and task manager screenshots, confirming it boots into Windows. Earlier, it has been reported that AMD motherboards can't boot into Windows with non-binary memory modules and kits, although the motherboard successfully recognizes it. There have also been rumors that AMD is working on an AGESA update that will fix this issue, and now, it looks like it could be coming sooner than we expected.

Over the past month, memory manufacturers started releasing DDR5 memory modules of 24 GB and 48 GB densities, which make up 48 GB (2x 24 GB), 96 GB (2x 48 GB or 4x 24 GB) and even 192 GB (4x 48 GB) capacities. There's only one catch—these modules only work with 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" and 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" processors, as their memory controllers support a maximum of 192 GB of memory, and 24/48/96 GB DIMM densities. MEGAsizeGPU decided to find out what happens when one of these kits is installed on an AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" platform.

A Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600 48 GB (2x 24 GB) memory kit was installed on a machine consisting of an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor, and an ASUS ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming motherboard (BIOS version 1222). It turns out that the machine POSTs, and is able to start the UEFI setup program. Here, the program is able to display the correct 48 GB memory amount, and the memory density of each of the two modules. The trouble is, Windows would not boot, and does not go past the Boot Manager. It halts with an error message that indicates a hardware problem.

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced new high-speed 7000MT/s 48 GB (2x 24 GB) VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 memory kits, as well as the general availability of its massive 192 GB (4x 48 GB) DDR5-5200 kits. CORSAIR has worked closely with motherboard manufacturer ASUS to ensure that these new kits work flawlessly across its full range of 700 series motherboards, making them an ideal high-speed companion for the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors.

These new memory kits are compatible with all Intel 700 series motherboards, but the close working relationship between ASUS and CORSAIR demonstrates both company's commitment to delivering optimal performance and compatibility for customers. Rigorous testing of these new VENGEANCE DDR5 memory kits ensures they work across the full range of ASUS motherboards, including at the new higher DDR5-7000 speeds.

ASRock is announcing the support of 48 GB and 24 GB DDR5 memory module across Intel 700 and 600 Series motherboards, boosting the maximum memory capacity from 128 GB to 192 GB on 4 DIMMs, providing performance and compatibility to enthusiasts.

For maximum performance, BIOS update is recommended to achieve a boost of system performance as well as memory capacity, increasing productivity for memory demanding multitasking applications.
