Test Rig
For our tests, we used our Test Rig which consists of a Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite X ICE motherboard, along with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K @ default clock speed and a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER graphics card.
* ALL tests are conducted at specified default speeds and settings.

Windows 11 |
Installation
To get the full benefits of CUDIMMs, make sure you install them on a compatible motherboard that supports CUDIMMs. Please refer to your motherboard manual for more information.
During installation, make sure you align the notch on the modules to the motherboard’s DIMM slots properly. And also, remember to install the memory on to DIMM slot A2 and B2 to enable dual/quad channel mode.
BIOS Setup
To set up the ram to run at DDR5-9200 speeds, we enabled XMP 3.0 Profiles. Just select the XMP Profile 1 in the BIOS and “Save” and that’s it! No more messing around with voltages or memory timings. All other settings in the BIOS were left untouched on AUTO.
CPU-Z and SPD Information
As you can see from the CPU-Z screenshot, the ram supports XMP 3.0 only. The DRAM frequency is running at 4600 MHz which gives you the default speed of DDR5-9200.
The other thing you’ll notice is that the ram is now running in Quad channel mode (4 x 32-bit). Here’s a quick reason why … DDR5 gives you two 32-bit wide (40-bit wide, with ECC) channels per stick, which means that you get a quad-channel configuration when running two DIMMs. Just make sure you install the memory on to DIMM slot A2 and B2 to enable dual/quad channel mode.
AIDA64 Memory Information
The SPD information on AIDA64 shows that the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-9200 CUDIMM 48GB memory kits uses memory chips produced by SK Hynix, which are know to overclock really well. CAS latency is reported at 44-56-56-148 at 1.45 volts.
Full Load Temperatures
Load temps reached a high 45 degrees Celsius. Nothing out of the ordinary. It’s what we expected for memory modules running at DDR5-9200 speeds.
