I understand the concern about the 4x32GB DDR5 RAM situation and the upcoming Corsair 24GB/48GB options. With the Z790 motherboard, it's unclear if it supports 192GB DDR5 yet. The new Corsair sticks might work, but you could face similar problems as with the smaller RAM. Regarding your Asus MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME, checking the manufacturer’s specifications will clarify if it can handle 192GB and whether a BIOS update is needed.

Usually, you can verify the maximum RAM size on the board’s data sheet. This information is often available on the manufacturer’s site online. NOTE: The site states a 192GB limit, so confirm it carefully.

What are you planning to use it for? I’m curious about why you’re needing so much of it.

I understand this discussion is an older one, but the details remain useful. 192GB is certainly achievable in specific setups on certain motherboards. I just started using my system with 192GB tonight. Please check the linked images for confirmation. I’m unsure if the Intel ASUS board can handle it, though the higher-end Ryzen 9 X670E models support it. It took some time for the BIOS updates to solidify their compatibility, as early versions were somewhat unstable. Ultimately, I adjusted my VRAM voltage slightly to improve stability, which was mostly a precaution. The reason? My GPU only has 24GB, which isn’t ideal for AI tasks. With this extra memory, I can run much bigger models in GGML format for CPU inference.
