DDR5 192 GB RAM Kit Hits 6400 MT/s on MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE Motherboard

Pushing the limits of AMD’s AM5 platform, an overclocker has managed to achieve an astounding 6400 MT/s speed with a Kingston DDR5 192 GB RAM kit on MSI’s flagship MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard. This achievement showcases significant progress for AMD platforms, which traditionally lag behind Intel when it comes to high memory frequencies.

Breaking Barriers: 192 GB RAM at 6400 MT/s

The overclocking feat was achieved using four 48 GB UDIMM DDR5 modules in a dual-channel, dual-rank (2DPC 2R) configuration. By AMD’s own standards, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor typically supports only 3600 MT/s in this configuration, with the MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard extending this to a possible 4800 MT/s through overclocking. However, this setup smashed those expectations, reaching 6400 MT/s—an impressive result given the challenges posed by such configurations.

The Challenges and the Setup

Overclocking dual-rank memory across shared DIMMs introduces electrical load and signal integrity challenges like reflections and interference. To overcome these hurdles, the overclocker manually adjusted latency timings and memory parameters via the BIOS. The result? Achieving stable performance at 6400 MT/s with CL timings of 48-48-48-103, while increasing voltage from 1.10V to 1.40V.

The overclocker validated the setup using RunMemtest Pro, confirming its stability with a low error rate. This proves the configuration is not just a theoretical achievement but a practical one, capable of handling demanding workloads.

Although Intel's LGA 1851 motherboards are leading the charge with memory speeds exceeding 12,000 MT/s, achieving 6400 MT/s with a 192 GB RAM kit on AMD's platform is no small feat. While this isn’t a configuration most mainstream users will require, it highlights how far the AM5 platform has progressed in terms of memory support and overclocking potential.

This milestone also underscores the capabilities of MSI’s MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard, which continues to push the boundaries for AMD users. It’s a promising sign for enthusiasts looking to build high-performance systems with AMD hardware.

As memory technology continues to evolve, it’s only a matter of time before AMD narrows the gap further with Intel. For now, this achievement is a testament to what’s possible with the right combination of hardware, expertise, and patience.
