G.Skill memory sets new world record for DDR5 memory speed

G.Skill memory has been used to set many world records over the years and another has just landed. The overclocker known as bl4ckdot has just set a new overclocking world record for the fastest DDR5 memory frequency, with a 24GB Trident Z5 memory module pushed all the way to 12872MT/s.

bl4ckdot is an extreme overclocker from France. If you were following the G.Skill OC World Cup this year, you will have seen him in action during the live-qualifier stage. Two months on from Computex, bl4ckdot has succeeded in breaking the world record for DDR5 memory speed.

The 12872MT/s overclock was achieved using one 24GB module of G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 memory, built with high-performance SK Hynix DDR5 ICs, running on the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K desktop processor. Extreme LN2 cooling was also used to achieve these results so don't expect to be able to replicate this at home.

The new record has already been validated on HWBOT and CPU-Z. Speaking on the new record, G.Skill marketing manager, Frank Hung, said that the company is “proud to see Trident Z5 memory once again breaking the boundaries”. Given the history of world records here, it is only a matter of time before we see G.Skill memory used to set even crazier records.
