New DDR5 OC record broken: Over 13,000 MT/s on Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE – 2.7× more than JEDEC

The DDR5 specification has passed another symbolic milestone: With over 13,000 MT/s, overclocker SaltyCroissant has set a new world record for DDR5 RAM on the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, a value more than 2.7 times higher than the official JEDEC reference of 4800 MT/s. DDR5 technology is thus moving further into realms that were [...]

ASUS sets new standard: DDR5-7200 MT/s now natively on Intel 800 mainboards

In a quiet but noticeable move, ASUS is raising the bar for DDR5 memory support on Intel 800 series motherboards, and doing so significantly, report our colleagues at Wccftech. Instead of relying on market-screaming XMP profiles or overclocking juggling, the manufacturer now guarantees JEDEC-compliant DDR5-7200 MT/s on its boards for the Intel [...]

Fully equipped for Ryzen 9000 and a true test for the IMC – Biwin Black Opal OC Lab Gold Edition DW100 4x 48 GB DDR5-6000 kit review with teardown and overclocking

In today’s test, everyone has to be strong: the mainboard, the CPU’s memory controller, the power bill during the stability test and, of course, the user. Particularly since DDR5, it is actually desirable to avoid fully populating all RAM slots. Otherwise the losses in the stable possible clock rate and consequently the performance are [...]

AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D RAM Reference Guide – 8200 2:1 vs. 6400 1:1, 2R vs. 1R, Optimized vs. EXPO vs. JEDEC in Synthetics and Gaming

Ryzen X3D CPUs are known to be a force in gaming, even without fast RAM. However, this doesn’t mean that optimized system memory settings can’t be used to achieve even better performance. After all, the cache is just that – a cache – and sooner or later the data has to be written to or read from the RAM. Not every gamer has the time [...]

DDR5 at the limit: Overclocker “saltycroissant” breaks 12,800 MT/s with ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF – new world record for DDR5 RAM

Anyone who thought DDR5 had reached the end of the line may have to think again. Within a few hours, a new world record in memory overclocking was broken – more precisely by a Canadian extreme overclocker with the less than appetizing pseudonym saltycroissant. With a whopping 12,806 MT/s, he took the top spot, displacing the previous record [...]
