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).

bl4ackdot said: "Thank you to ASUS, Thermal Grizzly and Corsair for their support ! I wish I could have validated higher, but still very happy and proud nonetheless".

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.
