Manufacturers of RAM modules began producing DDR5 strips of non-standard 24 and 48 GB sizes not that long ago. However, the AMD Socket AM5 platform will also be able to work with new modules in the future. This has been verified by ASUS.
Custom-sized memory modules are only supported on motherboards with an LGA 1700 socket, i.e. Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets for Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors. Ryzen 7000 processors will also support custom-sized memory modules.
On ASUS's forum, one of the company's marketing representatives announced that at least the ROG Strix X670-E motherboard model would be eligible for non-binary memory support. He also published a screenshot showing the operation of four DDR5-5200 modules with a volume of 48 GB each in its composition. The system recognized all four memory sticks, which was also verified by the included Windows tools.
A company representative mentioned that the latest version of the AGESA protocol, which is used in motherboard BIOS systems, has enabled non-standard memory sizes, but that some refinement is still required, and that he does not yet know when the new firmware for boards that supports up to 192 GB of RAM will be available to everyone.
