DDR5-11202 Memory Overclock Achieved On Intel’s Z790 Platform

wccftech.com:

DDR5 memory has once again been overclocked to new heights by enthusiast overclockers using the best of the best cooling.

The latest memory overclocking records have been set by US overclocker, SEBY9123, who used a single stick of G.Skill's Trident Z5 RGB DIMMs to break the previous record-holding overclock sey by the legendary overclocker, HiCookie (Gigabyte).

SEBY9123 used the ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX motherboard which is known for its powerful memory overclocking capabilities and a 2-DIMM design, paired with an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU that was set to 2.2 GHz across 2 cores and 2 threads & a single stick of the aforementioned G.Skill Z5 RGB DDR5 memory sticks. For cooling, both the CPU and memory were put under loads of LN2 & the resultant memory clock speed achieved was a staggering 11,202 Mbps or a frequency of 5600.

The CPU-z validation reveals that the memory was running in a single channel which is evident since only a single stick was used and at timings of 62-126-126-127-127-2. This in particular is the DDR5-7600 SKU labeled as "F5-7600J3646G16G".

Based on this latest overclocking record, Skatterbencher has compiled a list of all historical DRAM OC records ranging back from SDR & all the way up to the latest memory standards (DDR5). The histogram chart shows that the frequency jump seen in DDR5 generation has been the biggest so far, jumping from native speeds of DDR5-4800 (JEDEC) to LN2 overclock speeds of 11 Gbps+ which are more than twice the reference speeds.

There are lots of memory vendors who have announced their DDR5-8000 & above kits within the first year of their introduction and we can expect DDR5 to keep on getting faster as more powerful enthusiast-grade hardware becomes available. It is entirely
