V-color has just announced the industry's first DDR5 OC RDIMM RGB memory module, offering capacities of up to 16GB per module, up to 64GB for huge 512GB kits at up to 8000MT/s speeds.

The new v-color OC R-DIMM RGB modules were engineered for workstation and professional computing performance, with capacities of 16GB to 64GB we'll see up to 512GB kits with kits offering up to 8000MT/s and ultra-low timings of CL26.

The company says its new DDR5 modules are optimized for AMD Ryzen Threadripper and Intel Xeon CPU platforms, with an advanced design with RGB LEDs, combining vibrant visual aesthetics with outstanding performance, bandwidth, and reliability. V-color has designed its new DDR5 OC RDIMM RGB memory modules specifically for AI development, professional multi-tasking, data analytics, and demanding creative workloads.

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).

The folks at G.SKILL don't sleep, releasing memory kit after memory kit, and today we have the introduction of the new Trident Z5 NEO RGB hitting 8400 MT/s speeds... but in a deliciously high-capacity 128GB kit of RAM.

G.SKILL nailed the high-end frequencies on single DDR5 modules, but now the company is showing off some blazing-fast Trident Z5 NEO RGB memory with a huge 128GB high-capacity kit but at 8400 MT/s speeds. We have been seeing speeds in higher 24GB and 32GB modules, and we know how hard it is to push 8000+ MT/s speeds in dual-DIMM configurations, so G.SKILL has been cooking here.

G.SKILL reached those huge DDR5-8400+ speeds on the ASUS ROG X870E APEXmotherbaord, with the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. The large-capacity 128GB of RAM at 8400 MT/s speeds was achieved on CL44-58-58-94.

G.SKILL has just unveiled the world's first ultra-capacity 256GB kit (4 x 64GB) of memory at DDR5-6000 CL32 spec, but it can be overclocked at up to DDR5-7000 speeds with that monster 256GB capacity.

The new ultra-high kit capacity of 256GB on offer from G.SKILL is built from high-performance SK hynix DDR5 ICs, with this new overclock memory speed and timings pushing the boundaries of memory overclocking, by fully loading 4 modules of high-capacity DDR5 64GB U-DIMM modules on a single system, a new milestone for high-performance computing, content creation, AI workloads, and advanced workstation workloads.

We have AMD EXPO memory overclocking profiles, with the new DDR5-6000 CL32 256GB (64GB x 4) kit being stress tested in the screenshots above and below on the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870 HERO motherboard and the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, as well as the MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor.

G.SKILL has worked with overclocker Seby on breaking the overclocking world record for DDR5 memory frequency speed, with blistering DDR5-12772 speeds.

This new DDR5 frequency record was achieved using G.SKILL Trident Z5 DDR5 memory which has been built with high-performance SK hynix DDR5 ICs, running on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard, and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor under extreme liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling.

Seby is the OC Champion of the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2023, demonstrated his incredible overclocking talent by winning the highly competitive OC event... all on his first international stage debut. Ever since that point, Seby has consistently achieved top rankings on HWBOT, and is a critical contributor to the extreme overclocking scene that G.SKILL is deeply involved in.

SK hynix has significantly increased the yields of its next-generation 1c DRAM, which was hovering at around 60% in 2024 but has reportedly reached over 80% recently.

In a new post by Korean media outlet Hanhooki, we're learning that SK hynix's new 1c DRAM yields have reached 80% with all of the South Korean memory giants' firepower being focused on HBM. SK hynix announced in August 2024 that it had successfully developed the world's first 1c process-based 16GB DDR5 DRAM, with DRAMs developed in the order of 1x, 1y, 1z, 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d depending on the circuit line width, with 1c being the most advanced tech. 1c = around 11-12nm.

As always, capacity is the issue and with SK hynix prioritizing its equipment and manpower to respond to the unstoppable demand of HBM for AI GPUs, it has been a hard road for the company to improve 1c DRAM volume. SK hynix will be the first memory manufacturer to mass produce HBM4 memory, far ahead its HBM competitors in Samsung and Micron.

G.SKILL has just introduced its first 64GB modules of DDR5 memory, with the first 128GB DDR5-8000 memory kit also unveiled (with dual 64GB modules).

The company has introduced its new Trident Z5 Royal memory which has been optimized for 8000 MT/s at CL44, with dual 64GB modules for a huge 128GB DDR5-8000 memory kit. This is a big deal, as until now we have been limited to (still huge) 48GB modules, with a maximum of 96GB kits -- and in between, 24GB modules for 48GB kits -- but now we have a huge 128GB kit for "capacity-hungry applications".

The new DDR5-8000 memory kits were running on CL44-58-58 timings on an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX motherboard and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor. The company also showed off its new Trident Z Royal DDR5-8000 memory in 32GB x 2 (64GB total) with DDR5-9000 speeds at CL48-64-64, on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard and Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor.

When choosing memory for a new build, especially for content creation or gaming, you'll probably need to sacrifice some capacity if you're after pure speed. Unless you pick up G.SKILL's 128 GB high-capacity OC memory kits (2 x 64GB) that offer DDR5-8000 speeds with CL44-58-58 timing. G.SKILL is calling it the world's first large-capacity overclocked memory kit that can hit this level of performance.

"This is the world's first DDR5 memory kit with 64GB high-capacity modules to reach the extreme overclock level of DDR5-8000, setting a new milestone for high-performance computing, content creation, AI applications, and advanced workstation workloads," G.SKILL writes in the press release.

Previously, this speed and OC potential level were only available in 96GB memory kits with two 48GB modules. To showcase the milestone, G.SKILL has presented the validation you see above, with the DDR5-8000 CL44-58-58 128GB (64GBx2) memory kit paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX motherboard.

ADATA's gaming brand XPG is back again with another DDR5 world record, collaborating with GIGABYTE on using its XPG LANCER RGB DDR5 memory and LN2 cooling to smash 12762MT/s, and setting a new DDR5 memory OC world record.

Overclocker Hicookier used an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor on a GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, using a stick of ADATA XPG LANCER RGB DDR5 memory at 6381.2MHz (12762MT/s). ADATA proudly announced on its website: "This remarkable achievement has been verified by the renowned international overclocking scoring platform, HWBOT, reinforcing XPG's leadership in extreme overclocking memory".

V-Color Technology has unveiled the world's first 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 O CUDIMM memory kit, with unprecedented speeds of up to 9000MT/s, specifically designed for Intel Core Ultra processors and the latest Z890 motherboards.

This new memory kit from v-color will be part of the company's acclaimed SCC lineup (Speed Booster, Colorful Makeover, Cost-Effective), delivering "unmatched capacity, speed, and reliability to empower systems for AI training, gamers, creators, and professional users worldwide".

V-color's new groundbreaking 64GB DDR5 OC memory kit represents a significant milestone for the memory industry says the company, combining ultra-high memory capacity with setting frequencies, ensuring exceptional performance and responsiveness for intensive workloads, gaming, and creative applications.
