In a thrilling development for tech enthusiasts, Canadian overclocker “saltycroissant” has shattered the 12800 MT/s barrier on the Z890 platform, setting a new record for DDR5 memory speed. Just a day after the previous high achieved by “bl4ckdot” was recorded, saltycroissant pushed the limits further, reaching an astonishing 12806 MT/s using Corsair Vengeance DDR5 on the ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard.
This achievement was made possible through expert overclocking techniques and the use of nitrogen cooling, combined with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU. The precision and skill required to break this record are evident, as the overclock was validated by CPU-Z and shared on HWBot.
Maintaining the same cache latency as bl4ckdot’s former record—CL68-127-127-127-2—this new milestone showcases the potential for further improvements without sacrificing stability. The excitement was palpable as ASRock celebrated this accomplishment on social media, highlighting the Z890 Taichi OCF’s prowess in facilitating such feats.
The race to higher speeds doesn’t stop here, with the 13,000 MT/s mark now tantalizingly close. As DDR5 technology advances, companies like V-Color, G.Skill, and Corsair are at the forefront, developing ever-faster and larger capacity modules. The coming weeks are sure to bring more records and further innovation in the realm of overclocking.
