German Overclocker Sets New DDR5 Memory Speed Record at 13,322 MT/s

In an exhilarating turn of events, the world of DDR5 memory overclocking has witnessed a new milestone just 10 days after the previous record was set. The pace of innovation in this field is nothing short of astonishing, as enthusiasts push the boundaries of what’s possible in memory speed.

Breaking Records with G.Skill Trident Z5 and ROG Maximus Z890 Apex

The latest triumph comes courtesy of German overclocker “CENS,” who has claimed the top spot on the HWBot DDR5 OC leaderboard. Utilizing the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard combined with the G.Skill Trident Z5 24 GB DDR5 memory module, CENS achieved a remarkable 6661.4 MHz or 13,322.8 MT/s. This achievement represents a significant leap of nearly 111 MHz over the previous speed record.

G.Skill and ASUS have historically been favorites in the overclocking community, and this latest feat further cements their reputation. The configuration was verified on CPU-Z, with no changes to latency timings compared to previous records. The timings remained at CL68-127-127-127-2, but with the enhanced speed.

The Future of Memory Overclocking

As technology advances, the anticipation for reaching even higher memory speeds grows. Enthusiasts are optimistic that achieving 13,500 MT/s is on the horizon, with the potential to push further to 14,000 MT/s. This optimism is fueled by the imminent arrival of faster Intel Core Ultra Refresh CPUs and new SK Hynix die-based memory chips, which promise improvements in memory controllers and module performance.
