V Color launches OC RDIMM memory that hits 9600 MT/s on Intel W890 workstations

V Color has introduced new OC RDIMM memory for high end workstation systems, and the headline number is impressive: up to 9600 MT/s on Intel’s W890 platform.

The new memory is aimed at Intel Xeon 6 workstation builds using motherboards such as the ASUS Pro WS W890E SAGE SE and Pro WS W890 SAGE. V Color says the modules use SK hynix DDR5 chips that can run at the JEDEC standard 8000 MT/s while using only 1.1V.

That is important because high speed DDR5 usually needs more voltage. Many enthusiast kits need around 1.35V or higher to reach very fast speeds, but these RDIMMs can operate at 8000 MT/s with much lower power draw. For workstations, that matters because stability, efficiency, and reliability are often more important than simple benchmark numbers.

The 9600 MT/s result was shown using an 8 DIMM setup with 64GB modules on the ASUS Pro WS W890E SAGE SE. That means the system was running 512GB of memory while still reaching a very high speed, which is impressive for a workstation class platform.

V Color is also offering a wide capacity range. The modules start at 16GB and go up to 256GB per stick. That gives workstation builders flexibility, whether they need a smaller high speed configuration or a massive memory pool for heavy workloads.

These modules are not aimed at normal gaming PCs. They are built for workstations that need ECC Registered DIMM architecture, better data integrity, and long term stability. That makes them more relevant for professional workloads such as simulation, rendering, AI development, content production, scientific computing, and other memory heavy tasks.

The combination of high capacity and high speed is the main appeal. Workstations often force users to choose between capacity and memory speed. V Color’s OC RDIMM line tries to reduce that compromise, especially on ASUS’ W890 workstation boards.

The modules have also been validated through QVL testing for ASUS W890 workstation motherboards, which should help buyers avoid compatibility problems.

V Color has not shared pricing yet, but this memory will not be cheap. High capacity ECC RDIMMs already cost more than consumer DDR5, and 9600 MT/s workstation memory will likely sit in a premium category.

Still, the launch shows where DDR5 workstation memory is heading. High capacity is no longer enough. Professional systems now need more bandwidth too, especially as CPU core counts rise and workloads become more data heavy.

V Color’s OC RDIMM memory gives Intel W890 workstation users a faster option, with 8000 MT/s operation at only 1.1V and overclocked speeds reaching 9600 MT/s. For builders chasing both capacity and bandwidth, this is one of the more interesting workstation memory launches so far.
