Gigabyte z390 and c246 motherboards now support 32gb ddr4 modules

Gigabyte has announced that its Z390 and C246 series motherboards now support 32GB unbuffered DDR4 memory modules, allowing 128GB (4 × 32GB) memory configurations to be used in four DIMM slots.

Gigabyte Z390 and C246 motherboards already support up to 128GB of RAM (4 × 32GB)

This support comes thanks to new BIOS updates, which can be applied to every motherboard that has a supported chipset. This includes the recently released Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro.

Until now, Gigabyte is the only manufacturer that has announced that this support also extends to C246 motherboards, although in the future the company plans to extend this support to other Intel 300 series chipsets, a promise that other manufacturers have not kept. still.

Until now, 32GB DDR4 memory modules have been exclusive to registered workstation / server motherboards, but this support is now possible on conventional platforms, which is great news for consumers who require obscene amounts of memory.

At this time it is unknown when we will start seeing new 32GB DDR4 modules on the shelves, although we hope to start seeing high-capacity DDR4 memory modules arrive in the coming months. Samsung is already producing 32GB unbuffered DDR4 memory modules, which should benefit us if apps and games start asking for memory requirements far beyond 8 or 16GB of RAM, which could be a problem on motherboards. base that cannot be updated.
