G.Skill is making waves with its next-generation CAMM2 DDR5 memory modules, showcasing impressive overclocking capabilities. These modules, available in 96 GB and 64 GB capacities, have achieved a staggering speed of 10,000 MT/s.
A tech enthusiast recently demonstrated this feat on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 HERO motherboard. This particular model stands out for its CAMM2 slot, diverging from the standard UDIMM slots typically seen in consumer products. The motherboard, potentially an engineering sample, might have been sourced directly from ASUS or a dedicated overclocker.
G.Skill’s CAMM2 DDR5 modules, also engineering samples, were put to the test with a noteworthy setup. The system included a custom-looped radiator for CPU cooling, and the memory modules were kept cool by a strategically placed fan, despite lacking heatsinks.
In one trial, the 64 GB CAMM2 DDR5 memory was ramped up to 9866 MT/s, running with CAS Timings of CL52-70-70-154-1082-2T. Stability was confirmed through a benchmark test lasting nearly 50 minutes, with impressive data transfer speeds noted. The modules reached a temperature of 58°C while operating at 1.410V.
Additionally, the 96 GB CAMM2 module, utilizing the latest Hynix dies, clocked in at 9600 MT/s with CAS Timings of CL46-58-58-154-1066-2T, enduring a peak temperature of 65°C at a voltage of 1.456V. Due to its advanced architecture, the user suggests the 64 GB modules can effortlessly hit the 10,000 MT/s mark, with the 96 GB versions not far behind.
While these results stem from engineering samples, they indicate promising potential for CAMM2 technology. Although widespread consumer availability may take another generation or two, the insights gained offer exciting prospects for the future, particularly as the industry anticipates the adoption of the DDR6 standard.
