V-Color has launched a variety of EXPO-certified DDR5 RDIMM memory kits for AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Pro and non-Pro platforms. The new RDIMM memory kits are available in only 8 DIMM configurations, allowing workstation users to push the limits of the WRX90 platform with frequencies up to DDR5-7200 and memory kit capacities up to an astonishing 768 GB (8 x 96 GB).
These are your typical run-of-the-mill modules without fancy heatsinks and flashy RGB lighting. The RDIMM recipe revolves around a 10-layer PCB paired with SK hynix’s DRAM chips. Since Threadripper platforms all feature a 1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) design, V-Color’s octo kit is designed to populate all memory slots on a WRX90 motherboard at once.
V-Color offers RDIMM kits in a variety of capacities and frequencies, ranging from 128 GB (8 x 16 GB) to 768 GB (8 x 96 GB), with clock speeds starting at DDR5-5600 and going up to DDR5-7200.
For RDIMM kits, the maximum frequency usually varies based on the memory kit capacity. There are two factors to consider: the cost of binning and the fact that achieving stability at faster frequencies at higher capacities is more challenging for processors. Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Pro and non-Pro chips officially support DDR5-5200 memory modules. Any higher value is overclocked; stability depends on the quality of the processor’s integrated memory controller (IMC). DDR5-7200 is only available on V-Color’s 128 GB, 192 GB and 256 GB memory kits. Meanwhile, the 512 GB and 768 GB memory kits top out at DDR5-6000.

DDR5-5600 and DDR5-6000 memory kits are the only ones rated to run at a relatively modest 1.25 V. High-end products require 1.40 V due to higher frequencies and tighter memory timings. V-Color’s RDIMM memory kits have good memory timings, but they’re nowhere near as good as premium DDR5 mainstream memory kits. The DDR5-5600 memory kit has 36-38-38-38-80 timings, while the DDR5-6000 and DDR5-6400 memories have 32-39-39-102 timings. At the same time, V-Color has divided the DDR5-6600 and DDR5-6800 memory kits in 34-46-46-92 and the DDR5-7000 and DDR5-7200 memory kits in 34-43-43-102 and 36-46 respectively. for -46-112.
V-Color’s RDIMM products are overclocked memory kits with a limited lifetime warranty. They come with AMD EXPO support for easy one-click memory overclocking. The memory kit is built specifically for the WRX90 platform, but should work on Intel platforms (your situation will vary, of course). Regarding QVL, V-Color has validated the brand’s overclocked RDIMMs on the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-Sage SE and ASRock WRX90 WS Evo motherboards (priced over $1,000).
The 128 GB DDR5-5600 memory kit is the most affordable of the bunch, with a suggested retail price of $1,049.99, while the 192 GB memory kit sells for $1,579.99. On the other hand, the flagship 768 GB DDR5-6000 memory kit costs a whopping $4,919.99. V-Color’s RDIMM memory kits are available for pre-order on the company’s online store and will be shipped from the supplier on March 15. The memory kit will be available globally through official distribution partners on the same day.
