Asus rog zenith extreme board successfully completes test with 256gb ram

The 256GB DDR4 RAM memory load tests for the Asus ROG Zenith Extreme motherboard have been successfully carried out with the new AMD X399 chipset. This board originally specified a capacity of only 128 GB, but it has been proven that it is capable of doubling this capacity.

You already know from our review that the Asus ROG Zenith Extreme motherboard with AMD X399 chipset has in its specifications how it is capable of supporting up to 128 GB of DDR RAM in its 8 DIMM slots. The limitation, as it has been verified, is not on the part of the motherboard itself, but that we still do not have RAM memory modules Non ECC in the market of 32 GB to reach the figure of the theoretical 256 GB that could be install.

Well, an image of how this motherboard has been able to successfully support these 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz RAM installed on Quad Channel has just been published. The CL value of the memories used is CL20-19-19-43.

The motherboard used was the X399 chipset with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990X, which is capable of working with these amounts of memory. The BIOS version registered on this board for testing has been 1601, with a different AGESA specification, which we assume is a modified variant.

Unfortunately, no more information has been published about it, nor has AMD made a statement, but it seems to be confirmed that the Asus ROG Zenith Extreme and this new chipset correctly support these 256 GB of RAM. The only problem is that there are still no commercial 32GB DDR4 Non ECC modules to purchase. Who might need 256 GB of RAM for a desktop PC anyway?
