From MSI, we learn that their latest X870E Unify-X MAX managed to hold a 128 GB memory kit at a frequency of 9400 MT/s. An impressive score considering the RAM kit’s capacity. On the other hand, this is also a motherboard specialized in overclocking, while the configuration was handled by Toppc, the brand’s in-house overclocker.
X870E Unify-X Max: 9400 MT/s on a 128 GB kit!
A new BIOS based on AGESA 1.3.0.0:
Broadly speaking, this is a configuration adapted to higher frequencies. In fact, this motherboard is designed for enthusiasts and overclockers. To this end, we’ve included all the features needed for practical use. What’s more, the board’s design, particularly in terms of memory, enables it to reach high frequencies, as demonstrated by
. What’s more, to achieve such high frequencies, Toppc, the overclocker behind this result, exploited a new BIOS due for release shortly. We’re talking here about version 1.A0B based on AGESA 1.3.0.0.
More concretely, the memory kit used was a 2×64 GB kit with memory chips located on either side of the PCB. The kit was pushed to a maximum speed of 9400 MT/s on the motherboard. A word of warning: it’s more difficult to push high-capacity memory chips at high frequencies than more modest-capacity models.
Towards improved RAM support with Zen 6?
Toppc also points out that this is the last major BIOS launch before the arrival of the next-generation processor. With Zen 6, considerable memory improvements are expected. The controller will most likely be upgraded, and this generation will support CUDIMM-type RAM, for example. Last but not least, we can expect better support for high-frequency memory and, consequently, performance gains.
