DDR5 Memory Overclocking Reaches New Heights with 13,010 MT/s Record
The world of memory overclocking has witnessed a significant milestone as professional overclocker Sergmann surpassed the 13,000 MT/s barrier, achieving a remarkable DDR5-13010 record. This achievement highlights the rapid advancements in DDR5 memory technology, with speeds now rivaling the complexity of zip codes.
Sergmann’s record-setting overclock was documented in a recent HWBOT submission. The feat was accomplished using a single 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 module, part of the 48 GB CMK48GX5M2X8000C38 dual-channel kit. This particular kit, rated for DDR5-8000 speeds with CL38 timings, has become increasingly popular among memory overclocking enthusiasts and frequently appears on leaderboards.
The overclock reached a memory clock of 6504.9 MHz, translating to an effective data rate of 13,010 MT/s. The memory operated with timings of 68-127-127-127 CR2T and a ratio of 3:190. While the specific memory voltage was not disclosed, both the memory module and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor used in the setup were cooled with liquid nitrogen to maintain stability at these extreme speeds.
The system was built on a GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon Ice motherboard, known for its optimal one-DIMM-per-channel memory topology, which is ideal for high-frequency overclocking. The processor configuration included 2 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores, underclocked to 2054.2 MHz for the P-cores, with an uncore frequency of 821.7 MHz. This careful tuning helped ensure system stability during the record attempt.
Sergmann’s achievement not only sets a new benchmark for DDR5 memory speeds but also demonstrates the potential of current hardware when paired with expert tuning and advanced cooling solutions. As DDR5 technology continues to evolve, further breakthroughs in memory performance are anticipated, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in high-performance computing.
