G.SKILL and ASUS teamed up to set a new world record for overclocking DDR5 memory
At the beginning of this year, ASUS and G.SKILL joined forces to push the DDR5 memory frequency to a new high, reaching DDR5-8888 (timing CL88-88-88-88), which demonstrated the ultimate overclocking ability, creating a new world record for overclocking DDR5 memory at that time. It uses G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5-6000 memory, Intel Core i9-12900K processor, and ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX motherboard, and uses liquid nitrogen for heat dissipation.
Recently, ASUS and G.SKILL collaborate again to push the DDR5 memory frequency to a new high again, DDR5-10100 (timing is 127-120-120-120-127-2). Of course, this is not the first time that DDR5 memory has broken through the 10000MHz level. The MSI team rushed to above 10GHz (DDR5-10004/timing is 72-126-126-126-127-2) for the first time at the end of April.
This time, ASUS and G.SKILL still use Intel Core i9-12900K processor, ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX motherboard, and G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5 memory. It seems that this is the golden combination of DDR5 memory overclocking at this stage. This time, the DDR5 overclocking results of ASUS and G.SKILL have been verified by Hwbot and CPU-Z.
Although DDR5 memory overclocking presents a trend, it is not easy for users to buy high-frequency DDR5 memory. On the one hand, most products are concentrated in the range of DDR5-4800 to DDR5-5600, and the price of DDR5 memory is still relatively high.
Earlier, Joseph Tao, AMD’s memory program manager, said in the Meet The Experts webinar, that AMD’s first-generation DDR5 gaming platform is the Raphael (Ryzen 7000 series CPU), which will take a big leap forward in overclocking, achieving speeds that may be considered unattainable. In addition, it has been confirmed that AMD will have a DDR5 memory overclocking technology called EXPO, which may stimulate the soaring of the DDR5 memory clock, benefiting the majority of players building new platforms.
