G.Skill has set a brand new DDR5 RAM overclocking document with a few of its reminiscence in an Asus ROG motherboard, hitting a jaw-loosening pace of 12,112MT/s.

The feat used to be accomplished by means of skilled overclocker Safedisk, the use of G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 reminiscence in an Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard (with a brand new Intel Core Ultra 9 285K flagship desktop CPU).

To blaze the RAM over that 12,000MT/s mark, you gained’t be shocked to be informed that unique cooling used to be important – on this case liquid nitrogen.

This is a brand new global document overclock for reminiscence frequency as recorded by means of HWBOT, and it’s some other in a recent set of overclocking achievements which were ushered in by means of Intel’s new Arrow Lake, Core Ultra 200S, circle of relatives of processors.

Analysis: Overclocking attainable

Far from the whole lot in regards to the release of Intel’s Arrow Lake chips has been rosy, however there are definitely efficiency highlights with the brand new desktop circle of relatives – gaming apart – and certainly a number of overclocking attainable with the brand new Z890 motherboards and Core Ultra 200 CPUs (the preliminary releases of that are unlocked ‘K’ fashions).

We’ve observed a document overclock of seven.5GHz for the Core Ultra 9 285K processor, the paintings of some other skilled overclocker, Elmor (subsidized by means of a staff, once more at Asus, accomplished the use of the similar ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard that we see right here).

As for the former DDR5 document, that used to be set 4 days again by means of Kovan Yang (with Kingston RAM, in an Arrow Lake PC with an MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard), and this new document pipped it by means of a few Megahertz. There’ll without doubt be an ongoing tussle for a little bit mileage as extra skilled overclockers check out their arms with Intel’s Core Ultra 200S platform.

Naturally, you gained’t ever see speeds like 12,000MT/s in the actual global – they may be able to simplest be reached in brief bursts with unique cooling programs as famous – however DDR5 RAM may be very speedy relating to real-world overclocking too.

A up to date innovation within the reminiscence global is CUDIMMs, that are reminiscence modules that have their very own clock motive force, versus depending at the gadget clock like conventional DIMMS – and this results in higher balance and overclocks. We’ve observed the program with V-color RAM sticks which have been driven to hit 9200MT/s, no liquid nitrogen required. Impressive.
