TL;DR: Overclocker "bl4ackdot" set a new DDR5 memory frequency world record at 12774 MT/s using G.SKILL Trident Z DDR5, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard with LN2 cooling. This 2MHz increase marks a near-limit in DDR5 overclocking advancements.

It has barely been two weeks since overclockers broke the DDR5 memory frequency OC world record with 12772 MT/s, but now overclocker "bl4ackdot" has reached a new OC world record with an additional 2MHz frequency at 12774 MT/s using G.SKILL Trident Z DDR5 memory.

Overclocker "bl4ackdot" used an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, 24GB of G.SKILL Trident Z memory, and an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard. The overclocker pushed the G.SKILL Trident Z memory to 6387MHz or 12774 MT/s speed, just 2MHz higher than the previous record from a couple of weeks ago.

LN2 cooling was used to hit the speeds and frequencies required for the new OC world record, and from here on out I don't think we're going to see huge strides in OC memory frequencies, as we're splitting hairs here with 2MHz (but every single MHz counts).

As for G.SKILL, the company has been busy cooking up impressive high-capacity DDR5 memory kits for a while now, with its new 128GB memory kit capable of speeding along at 8000 MT/s+ speeds, which is impressive to see for a large 128GB kit of DDR5 memory. We won't be seeing those modules at 12000MT/s+ speeds, but damn that would be a good thing to see, eh? Give it a few weeks at this point.
