G.SKILL Achieves Historic DDR5 Memory Overclock Records
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., a leading brand in performance overclock memory, has announced two groundbreaking overclock achievements. The company has reached DDR5-12052 and DDR5-12054 memory overclock speed records under air cooling with the G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5 memory. Previously, achieving the DDR5-12000 milestone required more extreme cooling methods like liquid nitrogen or dry ice. These new achievements with air cooling showcase the impressive overclock potential of modern hardware.
The DDR5-12052 memory overclock speed was achieved by "saltycroissant", an extreme overclocker from Canada, using the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor and ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard. On the other hand, the DDR5-12054 memory overclock speed was achieved by "speed.fastest", an extreme overclocker from Indonesia, using the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K desktop processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard.
In the past, extreme sub-zero cooling methods were necessary to achieve overclock speeds over DDR5-12000 on the Intel Z890 platform. These new memory overclock records, achieved with CPU on water cooling and memory on air cooling, mark a significant milestone for the overclocking community. Both records were set using a module from a G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5-8000 CL38 2x48GB memory kit.
The DDR5-12054 memory speed record set by speed.fastest has been validated by HWBOT.org and CPU-Z Validator. For more details, refer to the links below:
