Improved DDR4 stability
ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces and
vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout ensures
time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These
enhancements allow the Prime 300 Series to support a wide range of dual and
quad-DIMM memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs to
deal with any type of workload - whether you're gaming or running intensive
applications
A larger signal eye results in improved stability, more overclocking
headroom, and lower operating voltages
ASUS OptiMem advantage:
- ASUS OptiMem - 53.12 V*pS
- Reference design - 72.51 V*pS
26% - Reduction in crosstalk
ASUS OptiMem benefits:
- Improved memory stability and compatibility
- Allows lower memory latencies at equivalent voltages
- Improved memory frequency margin
