MSI validates faster speeds for China-made CXMT DDR5 RAM on AMD motherboards

MSI has released new beta BIOS versions for its AM5 motherboards, enabling higher speeds for China-made CXMT DDR5 memory modules. These updates validate DDR5-8200 speeds on dual-DIMM configurations and DDR5-7200 on quad-DIMM setups, significantly increasing performance beyond previous limitations. This validation follows similar optimizations MSI has made for Chinese RAM on Intel platforms. AI
