MSI's Intel 700-Series motherboards will support DDR5 RAM up to 192GB.

Recently, Crucial has become the first manufacturer to introduce DIMM DDR5 products with capacities of up to 24GB and 48GB for both desktop and systems. These DIMM memory modules will adhere to JEDEC standards, allowing PCs to have more RAM capacity while maintaining the same number of DIMMs.

DIMM memory will adhere to the DDR5-5600 standard and provide full support for all DDR5 features. This includes the ability to self-correct ECC errors directly on the Die Chip (ODECC) along with integrated Power Management ICs (PMICs) directly on the Module.

For the average user, expectations lean towards complete RAM products with capacities reaching up to 96GB by integrating 48GB DIMMs. This signifies a 50% increase in capacity over the current highest RAM configurations, which stand at 64GB.

Furthermore, MSI has also announced that their Intel 700-Series motherboard systems will support DIMMs with capacities of 24GB and 48GB. All motherboards are fully compatible with both Intel Gen 12 and Intel Gen 13 processors (Raptor Lake and Alder Lake). Specific details can be found in the lists below:

In their latest press release, MSI has additionally disclosed support for DDR5 memory modules of 24GB and 48GB capacities across the Intel 700-Series and Intel 600-Series, covering the MEG, MPG, MAG, & PRO Series product lines. Motherboards with 4 DIMMs will support up to 192GB of maximum capacity, while those with 2 DIMMs will support 96GB.

Finally, users do not need to update their BIOS to utilize the new 48GB capacity memory modules. All that is required is to install the new memory modules and enjoy significantly improved performance, particularly beneficial for gamers and multitasking users.
