New DDR5 Overclocking World Record: 13,153 MT/s Achieved

The world of high-performance computing has witnessed another milestone in DDR5 memory overclocking. Just weeks after the 13,000 MT/s threshold was surpassed, a new global record has been established. According to a recent HWBot submission, Canadian professional overclocker saltycroissant has achieved an unprecedented 6576.8 MHz with DDR5 memory, translating to an effective data rate of 13,153 MT/s.

Record-Breaking Hardware and Configuration

This achievement was made possible using a 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory module, part of the 48 GB CMK48GX5M2X8000C38 dual-channel kit, originally rated for DDR5-8000 speeds with CL38 timings. The memory was installed on a Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard and paired with Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K processor. The overclocking process focused on fine-tuning the DDR5 memory, utilizing a single 24 GB DIMM to maximize stability and performance.

The record-setting configuration featured memory timings of 68-127-127-127 CR2T and operated at a 3:194 ratio. To ensure stability at such extreme speeds, liquid nitrogen cooling was employed, allowing the system to maintain optimal temperatures throughout the benchmarking process.

CPU and System Details

While the exact DDR5 DIMM voltage was not disclosed, several details about the CPU configuration are available. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K’s P-cores were clocked at 2034.06 MHz with a 20x multiplier and a 101.7 MHz bus speed, while the E-cores ran at 1627.25 MHz. The CPU voltage was set to a notably low 0.723 volts, and the processor was kept at a sub-ambient temperature of 5°C, further contributing to system stability during the overclocking session.

Implications for DDR5 Overclocking

This new world record highlights the remarkable potential of Corsair’s DDR5 memory kits for extreme overclocking. The achievement not only demonstrates the capabilities of modern DDR5 modules but also sets a new benchmark for enthusiasts and professionals pushing the limits of memory performance. As overclockers continue to innovate and refine their techniques, even higher DDR5 speeds are likely on the horizon.

Congratulations to saltycroissant for setting a new global standard in DDR5 memory speeds and advancing the boundaries of PC hardware performance.
