These look excellent, wonder when they will release.
I noticed you’re running them on 5200MT/s. That’s really impressive for two DIMM per channel, assuming they’re stable. Will they do 5600MT/s if you use one DIMM per channel, or can they go higher? I’m tempted to get a single pair for my ITX workstation, but if they don’t clock better than that then that’s a lot less tempting.
be a little patient, G.Skill has announced 128GB DDR5-8000 kits with CL44-58-58.
Maybe it will take another month or two

It’s unfortunate that G.Skill would be the ones bringing that product to market, their stupid heat spreaders won’t fit in my case so I’d need to void the warranty to install them.
If the 128GB kits look like the ones in the photo, I’ll probably lose the warranty just because of that

my mb x870e asus crosshair hero doesnt even support 5600mts for 256gb. So any higher frequency or lower timings will be super unstable or wont boot. If u just using 2 dimms, yes u can do 5600mts per the expo profile.
128 GB DDR5-8400-Kit on ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E APEX
this will be a lovely future kit! though i will need lower profile like the teamgroup kits or Gskill’s own flare X5 (6k MT’s, CL30 96GB kit) as i would rather not raise the front fan on my noctua tower cooler unnecessarily

FWIW, I could not get this to be stable whatsoever at anything past 5000MHz, but 4800 42-42-42 seems to be pretty solid, albeit with a lacking memory bandwidth.
I’ll see if I can instead focus on making those timings a bit more tight, which should hopefully improve bandwidth a bit as well.
Has anyone seen the G.Skill 256GB / 6000 kit out in the wild?
Why is a kit better than simply buying 4 64GiB modules ?
A kit will be verified to work together. Generally the modules will be from the same batch, if not directly sequential. This gives them the best chance of working together at high speed. Unpaired modules may have small construction differences, and require different timings, which can make it difficult to run them at high speeds.

But if one module in the kit dies within the warranty, do you get to replace whole kit or just one module ?
Yes most likely, likelihood of RAM failing today are extremely low. And should all hold lifetime warranty. This warranty would be for the kit as it’s sold as such.
