ASUS Enters the Enthusiast Memory Market with ROG-branded DDR5 Kit
ASUS is entering the enthusiast PC memory market segment with its first ROG branded DDR5 memory kits. The company has launched these memory kits in China, and VideoCardz reports that BIWIN is the OEM behind the kit. The module comes with the distinct black+red ROG color scheme with gold accents commemorating 20 years of the ROG brand. ASUS recommends pairing the memory with its limited edition ROG Crosshair X870E 2006 20th Anniversary Edition motherboard.
The kit comes with a capacity of 48 GB, with two 24 GB DIMMs. These run at DDR5-6000 with tight timings of 26-36-36-76. The module includes both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP profiles for broad compatibility, but with a special "ROG Mode" profile extension that works on ASUS ROG Crosshair, ROG Maximus, and ROG Strix motherboards. The modules are crowned by an ARGB LED kit that's compatible with ASUS Aura Sync RGB controls through the company's Armoury Crate application. The special edition kit is priced at RMB ¥5,999, or USD $880. ASUS also announced the ROG-certified memory program, where popular consumer DDR5 memory vendors can offer ROG-themed (and badged) memory with ROG Mode profile extensions for special timings, and Aura Sync RGB support.

Wouldn't doubt there's some CL24 now on the market somewhere, but with poor TRCD, TRP, & TRAS timings.
I mean their mothetboards are the best by far in terms of performance, support and reliability, but memory is basically just memory and Gskill already makes pretty good Ram modules.
