Yippee, a motherboard that'll fit Corsair's ridiculous 192GB DDR5 RAM kit

pcgamer.com:

Asus recently hit us with its newest high-end motherboard offering, and it's a doozy. The ROG Strix X670-E is an enthusiast-grade AM5 mobo that'll not only let you overclock your Ryzen 7000 series CPU, but also comes with support for a frankly obnoxious 192GB DDR5 RAM capacity.

Word started to spread a few hours ago of the new motherboard's capacity over on the ROG forums(opens in new tab) (via Videocardz(opens in new tab)), where user Raja@ASUS posted some benchmarks to prove it. As part of the company's Tech Marketing team Raja has had a chance to test out the motherboard's four DIMM slots with some DDR5-2600 RAM, with a combined capacity of 192GB (4x48GB). It looks like Asus has now updated the product page(opens in new tab) to match this capability, and promises up to DDR5-6400+ overclocking potential.

That means we're finally seeing motherbaords that are able to make the most of the recently announced Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-7000 RAM kit(opens in new tab) with up to 192GB capacities. 

If you're thinking of an upgrade, Corsair's updated Vengeance DRAM capacities include a 96GB (2x 48GB) kit, and a slightly more feasible 48GB (2x 24GB) kit. That 96GB kit clocks in at 5,600MT/s, with the 48GB kit hitting 5,200MT/s. At the top end you're looking at 5,200MT/s as well.

Currently, the new kit's little sister, the Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-4800MHz is sitting in third place on our best DDR5 RAM(opens in new tab) guide as the best DDR5 for a budget system, thanks to its £120 / $109 price tag. This kit overclocks easily to 5,200MHz, but imagine what this new kit could do seated in Asus's latest enthusiast
