Last week, we obtained within the lab a duplicate of the Corsair Vengeance RGB reminiscence package clocked at 7000 MT/s with timings of 40-52-52-114 for a voltage of 1.40 volt. The particularity of this package is to have two reminiscence bars with a capability of 24 GB every and never 16 GB as we’re used to. We will subsequently be on Micron reminiscence chips of three GB and never 2 GB. It appears that these new capacities are extra optimized for contemporary processors with 16 or 24 cores. The Corsair package is a part of the “Vengeance RGB” collection and is priced at 309.99 euros on the model’s web site.
So why a title that attracts you to warning? Well this weekend we put in this package on our check platform, that’s an Intel i9-12900K processor and a ROG Z690 APEX motherboard. Of course we up to date our motherboard with the most recent BIOS and our working system. But even when the XMP profile is completely acknowledged throughout the BIOS, we’re systematically confronted with blue screens when loading Windows. A beta BIOS can also be circulating however the commentary was equivalent. After having questioned Asus, the reply is straightforward, this 2 x 24 GB package will not be made (but) to work on the Z690 chipset of Asus.
And on our ROG Z790 APEX?
We determined to check it on our ROG Z790 APEX motherboard related to an Intel i9-13900KS. Here once more, we opted for the most recent BIOS, the 0904, which specifies the compatibility with 24 or 48 GB reminiscence sticks since revision 0812.
Once the BIOS is up to date, we set up the Corsair Vengeance RGB package clocked at 7000 MT/s which is completely acknowledged. It stays to be seen if our working system will load and if we is not going to be entitled to blue screens.
Finally, no drawback with this Z790 chipset and the most recent BIOS proposed by Asus. We have been in a position to carry out some benchmarks and our configuration is completely secure.
Check before you purchase!
If you have an interest in a package with 24 or 48 GB reminiscence sticks, test earlier than shopping for that your motherboard has a BIOS that helps them, in any other case you may not be capable of use them. We are ready for an “official” reply from Asus to know in the event that they plan to supply a suitable BIOS for the Z690 chipset within the coming weeks. Logically, if in case you have a motherboard constructed across the Z790 chipset, you shouldn’t have any drawback since most producers provide suitable BIOS like MSI and AORUS.
Of course, this isn’t solely true for Corsair kits however for all manufacturers that supply 2 x 24 GB reminiscence kits! Thanks to Corsair for this pattern and see you quickly for the entire check!
