The new kit aims to simplify the process. If you want cutting-edge performance, read on.
G.Skill Tackles High-Capacity DDR5 with 4x64GB Kit Optimized for AMD
For enthusiasts seeking to maximize their system’s memory capacity,G.Skill has introduced a new solution: a 4x64GB DDR5 memory kit. This kit is specifically designed for AMD platforms, offering a total of 256GB of system memory with a performance rating of 6000 MT/s.
Breaking the 2-Piece mold
Currently, the DDR5 market is dominated by 2-piece memory kits. Filling all four memory slots typically requires manual adjustments in the motherboard BIOS, a process that can be daunting for less experienced users. G.Skill’s new kit aims to simplify this process by providing a pre-configured, high-capacity solution.
Technical specifications
- Capacity: 4 x 64GB (256GB total)
- Type: DDR5 U-DIMM
- Memory chips: SK Hynix DDR5
- speed: 6000 MT/s
- latency: CL32
- Overclocking: AMD EXPO support
AMD EXPO Support for Simplified Overclocking
The memory kit supports AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking), enabling users to load optimized overclocking parameters with a single click. This sets all four memory modules to 6000 MT/s with a latency of CL32. According to G.skill, this ensures real and effective transmission performance, not just for gimmicks.
Platform Testing and stability
G.Skill showcased the memory kit’s performance on various AMD platforms, including:
- Ryzen 9 9900X with MSI MPG X870E Carbon Wifi Motherboard
- ryzen 7 9800X3D with ROG Crosshair X870E Hero Motherboard
Thes tests involved full-load, high-intensity scenarios to demonstrate the memory’s stability across diffrent platform configurations.
Pro Tip: Understanding memory Latency
lower CL (CAS Latency) values generally indicate faster memory performance. CL32 is considered a relatively low latency for DDR5-6000, contributing to quicker data access times.
Overclocking Capabilities
G.Skill, known for its overclocking prowess, demonstrated the memory kit’s potential beyond its rated speed.Using a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an MSI B850 motherboard, they achieved a stable 6400 MT/s without increasing the CL value.
Pushing the Limits with High-end Motherboards
with a flagship MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard, G.Skill pushed the memory speed even further. By slightly relaxing the CL value to 38, they achieved a stable 7000 MT/s. Long-term, full-load testing validated the memory’s quality and G.Skill’s tuning expertise.
Availability
Currently, G.Skill has not released sales information for the 4x64GB memory kit. Users seeking high-capacity memory or those who prefer fully populated memory slots will need to remain patient.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is AMD EXPO?
A: AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking) is technology that allows users to easily overclock compatible memory modules on AMD platforms.
-
Q: What does MT/s mean?
A: MT/s stands for MegaTransfers per second,a measure of the data transfer rate of memory.
-
Q: What is CL latency?
A: CL (CAS Latency) is a measure of the delay between when the memory controller requests data and when it is available. Lower CL values generally indicate faster performance.
-
Q: Why choose a 4x64GB kit over a 2x32GB kit?
A: A 4x64GB kit allows you to maximize your system’s memory capacity, which can be beneficial for demanding applications and multitasking.Some users also prefer the aesthetics of fully populated memory slots.
