DDR5 memory overclocking is in a full-on sprint, with new world records falling in a matter of hours instead of weeks. The latest headline-grabber is overclocker Saltycroissant, who pushed a single Corsair Vengeance DDR5 module to an incredible 13,153 MT/s on GIGABYTE’s Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, edging past multiple records set just a day prior.
This new high-water mark doesn’t just nudge the bar—it clears it decisively. Yesterday, Hicookie hit 13,034 MT/s, only for CENS to inch ahead to 13,040 MT/s. Saltycroissant’s 13,153 MT/s beats those results by roughly 119 MT/s and 113 MT/s respectively, and becomes the first publicly shared result to cross the 13,100 MT/s milestone.
System and settings used for the record:
– Memory: 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (single module)
– Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
– CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
– Validation: CPU-Z
– Memory timings: CL68-127-127-127-2
As with most extreme frequency records, the latency figures are very loose—necessary trade-offs when pushing DDR5 to such stratospheric data rates. These achievements are more about raw frequency and technical mastery than day-to-day performance, and they showcase how far modern platforms can be stretched in skilled hands.
The pace of progress is striking. After the 13,000 MT/s barrier fell last month, records are now being set and surpassed within 24 hours. With momentum building, the community clearly has its sights set on the next big milestone near 14,000 MT/s. It won’t be easy, but given how quickly the ceiling keeps rising, it no longer looks out of reach.
