The battle for memory overclocking supremacy rages on, with the overclocker known as Saltycroissant once again breaking barriers, surpassing the 12,800 MT/s milestone for a second time. This impressive feat was achieved using Corsair Vengeance DDR5 on the Z890 Taichi OCF, setting a new world record.
Earlier this month, another overclocker, “bl4ckdot,” set a record with a DDR5 frequency of 12,774 MT/s using Trident Z5 memory on the Z890 platform. Not long after, bl4ckdot surpassed his own achievement with an incredible 12,822 MT/s, becoming the second to break the 12,800 MT/s barrier. Saltycroissant was the pioneer here, reaching 12,806 MT/s back on May 3rd.
About two weeks later, Saltycroissant reclaimed the top spot by pushing the limits to an astonishing 12,832 MT/s. While a mere 10MHz increase may seem minor, achieving such an increment at these extreme speeds is no small feat. Maintaining the leading position is a challenge as other enthusiasts constantly push the boundaries with new records.
The 12,832 MT/s mark is a remarkable achievement, but it may not remain unbeaten for long. Renowned overclockers like Seby, Splave, and Hicookie are also vying for the top spot, each having held it at different times.
For this milestone, Saltycroissant used a 24 GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance memory stick on the ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF, paired with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor. The Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard is a well-known favorite for shattering memory frequency records, proving to be one of the best for overclocking enthusiasts.
To keep the system cool during this extreme overclocking session, nitrogen cooling was employed—a common technique among top overclockers. This achievement has been documented on HWBot and verified by CPU-Z. With impressive timings of 68-127-127-127-2, these record-breaking frequencies have shown improvements without significant compromises on latencies. However, it’s important to note that such frequencies don’t drastically impact real-world applications or gaming performance.
