DDR5 memory overclocked to an eye-popping 12,752 MT/s in new world record

In a nutshell: Renowned overclocker HiCookie has set a new DDR5 memory overclocking world record, hitting an impressive speed of 12,752 MT/s with V-Color Manta Xfinity RAM on Gigabyte's Z890 AORUS Tachyon Ice motherboard. The record was achieved on an Intel-based system powered by a Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake-S" CPU. The world record has been validated by both CPU-Z and HWBOT, and the shared screenshots reveal that the setup was uniquely tuned for extreme overclocking. The record was achieved with only two out of the 24 CPU cores running, and at just 420 MHz. This was done to ensure that the CPU did not bottleneck the memory frequency in any way. As for the memory, only one 24GB DIMM was used, with the timings set to 68-127-127-127-2T. The module was cooled down by liquid nitrogen to keep the thermals in check so that it could be pushed to its limits. This type of setup is unlikely to offer the stability required for performance-oriented tasks like gaming, but it helps push the de ... Read full article.
