ASRock®, a global leader in motherboards, graphics cards, gaming monitors, small form factor PCs, power supply units, and AIO liquid coolers, today introduced that its Z890I Nova WiFi R2.0, paired with two Kingston 4-rank DDR5 128GB memory modules, has successfully enabled CQDIMM support through optimized circuit design and hardware and software tuning. The platform achieves DDR5-7400 MT/s operation with a total capacity of 256GB, surpassing the DDR5-7200 MT/s limit commonly seen on most platforms today. This milestone represents a major breakthrough for high-capacity, high-bandwidth DDR5 memory applications.

CQDIMM is based on a 4-rank CUDIMM (Clocked Unbuffered DIMM) design, with a maximum capacity of 128GB per module and a native speed of DDR5-7200 MT/s, addressing the long-standing challenge of balancing large memory capacity with high bandwidth. With CQDIMM support, the Z890I Nova WiFi R2.0 further pushes memory performance to DDR5-7400 MT/s, delivering a memory configuration that combines both high capacity and high performance to meet the demanding requirements of AI computing, content creation, and professional workloads.
