Intel 800 Series motherboards have emerged as the ideal platform for enthusiasts who need memory kits with both cutting-edge bandwidth and jaw-dropping capacity. It’s been a busy couple of months as we’ve paved the way for you to have the best experience with the latest memory kits and our Z890 and B860 motherboards, but we’re not done yet. Today, we’re excited to announce that ASUS is the first brand in the market to support a 4 x 24GB 7000 MT/s memory kit on our QVL list.
Let’s take a moment to put all that into context. If you haven’t yet tried to install four sticks of RAM in a PC, you might not know that loading up all four memory slots on your motherboard in the quest for higher capacity requires operating at lower memory speeds. That means that you’re usually best off getting the capacity that you need with only two sticks of DDR5 RAM installed in a one-DIMM-per-channel (1DPC) configuration so that you can operate them at the full performance for which they’re rated. That said, typical motherboards have four DIMM slots for a reason. Some users need more raw capacity than they can get with a 1DPC configuration, and they’re willing to accept reduced memory speeds to get it.

---|---|---|
Memory Module | Default Speed | XMP |
Corsair CMHC96GX5M4X7000C36 ver.5.53.13 (4 x 24GB) | 4400 MT/s | 7000 MT/s |
Corsair CMKC96GX5M4X7000C36 ver.5.53.13 (4 x 24GB) | 4400 MT/s | 7000 MT/s |
Now, you won’t have to accept nearly so steep of a compromise when you step up into a 2DPC memory configuration. We’ve worked closely with Corsair on two 4 x 24GB memory kits ready to bolster your capacity all the way up to 96GB. And QVL support for 7000 MT/s gives you the confidence that getting these sticks up to speed — and operating them with high level of reliability — won’t require anything more involved than enabling the XMP profile.
Considering all these advantages, the new Corsair kits are a tempting choice for your ASUS Z890 or B860 motherboard. Whether you’re equipping your PC for outstanding AI performance, demanding content creation workloads, future-proofed gaming, or next-level multitasking, you’ll appreciate having 96GB of DDR5 RAM at the ready. And you’ll be able to run this memory at up to 7000 MT/s using an XMP profile — not a manual overclock — trusting it to deliver the rock-solid stability that you expect when you install memory from your motherboard’s QVL list. If your workflows would benefit from this blend of performance, capacity, reliability, and ease of use, don’t hesitate to upgrade your PC setup with an ASUS Intel 800 Series motherboard and one of these new Corsair DDR5 memory kits.
