G.SKILL has introduced a new high-capacity DDR5 memory kit designed for advanced computing workloads. The latest release features a total capacity of 256 GB, configured as four 64 GB modules, and is capable of running at DDR5-6000 with CL32 timings. This kit is based on high-performance SK hynix DDR5 ICs and targets professional users in areas such as content creation, AI processing, and high-performance desktop systems.
As applications continue to demand more memory, especially in tasks involving large datasets, complex video processing, or machine learning models, the need for both speed and capacity in system memory becomes more critical. The new G.SKILL kit aims to meet that demand by combining ultra-high density with competitive overclocked performance.
Tested with AMD EXPO memory profiles, the kit has been validated on platforms including the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO paired with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, as well as the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI with the Ryzen 9 9900X. These platforms have successfully demonstrated stable operation at DDR5-6000 CL32 using the full 256 GB capacity.
G.SKILL also demonstrated the overclocking potential of this memory configuration by pushing it to DDR5-7000 with timings of CL38-50-50. This was achieved on the MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard alongside the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. Running at this level is notable, as maintaining high frequencies while using high-capacity modules across all four slots can often present stability challenges.
In addition to performance at higher frequencies, G.SKILL showcased the 256 GB kit operating at DDR5-6400 with CL32 timings across a mix of hardware configurations. These include the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D, and the MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI motherboard paired with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Achieving low-latency performance at 6400 MT/s across four 64 GB modules reflects both strong binning of memory ICs and careful tuning of platform compatibility.
This memory kit adds to G.SKILL’s growing lineup of DDR5 products and represents a step forward in capacity and performance for users building systems for intensive multitasking, data-heavy workflows, or future-ready computing tasks. As high-capacity DDR5 becomes more available and supported across platforms, these kits provide another option for users looking to push the limits of their desktop or workstation builds.
