RAM - Page 4

Corsair is currently cooking its new Vengeance DDR5 CUDIMM memory, joining the ranks of its fleet of Vengeance DDR5 memory kits on the market today.

We've already seen multiple RAM manufacturers announcing and releasing DDR5 CUDIMM memory kits (a bunch of links on those stories below) but Corsair seems close to release with its own Vengeance-branded DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules, with some pictures shown by VideoCardz.

Corsair's new Vengeance DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules are expected in both black and white (the only one pictured are in black, the white version could launch later), with an RGB strip on top of the modules. We already know that Corsair is working on Vengeance DDR5 CUDIMM memory kits, as the company itself teased 10,000MT/s speeds which you can read more about in the links below.

Overclocker 'snakeeyes' used an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor on an ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, with 24GB of Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 memory at a blistering 12,611.6MT/s, setting a new OC memory world record.

The overclocker used LN2 cooling to chill the Core Ultra 5 265K "Arrow Lake" processor and Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 memory, reaching 6305.8MHz (x2 = 12,611.6MT/s) which is now the #1 world ranking on HWBOT. Intel's new Core Ultra 5 265K processor was running at just 411.22MHz, with just 1 core enabled.

HWBOT's memory frequency rankings now have 'snakeeyes' at the top using Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 memory, with overclocker 'AKM' with second place using v-color Manta Xfinity RGB memory at 6263MHz (or 12,526MT/s). The memory OC world record is a tight one, with just a few MHz being the difference between being #1 and #2.

In the land of high-speed DDR5 memory and PC enthusiast overclocking, it's currently world record season. We've seen the max frequency number hit some pretty insane levels. Beating their world record that we reported on a week ago, overclocker AKM has done it again, pushing the memory frequency to an incredible DDR5-12527MHz.

This new record looks captured using the same system, which pairs the latest flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Processor, ASRock's Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, and V-COLOR Manta XFinity DDR5 memory. The Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard is the common denominator, and it's certainly living up to its "Built for Extreme Overclocking" tagline.

ASRock notes that the Z890 Taichi OCF's design, which includes a 10-layer PCB, server-grade ultra-low-loss material, and ASRock's Memory OC Shield to reduce EMI noise, is tailor-made for enthusiasts and pro overclockers.

With the arrival of new CPUs this year, it has been world record season for overclockers looking to push performance into that realm that requires copious amounts of liquid nitrogen cooling. With improved memory speed overclocking, Intel's new Core Ultra CPUs have led to several new records cropping up in the past month.

The latest DDR5 world record comes from overclockers AKM and v-color, where its V-COLOR XFinity DDR5 memory frequency was pushed to an incredible 12,264 MHz. This beats the DDR5-12112 record recorded by ASUS ROG extreme overclocker Safedisk a couple of weeks ago, using G.SKILL memory.

This new DDR5-12264 memory frequency score smashes right through that, with AKM's new attempt currently sitting at the top of the rankings on HWBOT.

MSI has just unveiled its exclusive new "Memory Extension Mode" for its 800-series motherboards and Intel's new Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake" CPUs, offering up to 21% more performance.

The new MSI "Memory Extension Mode" has three different presets: Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, and Memtest Mode. The new feature will choose the best memory configurations based on the CPUs integrated memory controller (IMC) and memory overclocking capabilities, which paves the way for the best performance depending on your workload.

MSI explains: "Starting with the 800-series motherboards, MSI introduces the new Click BIOS X, providing a more user-friendly interface. To activate Memory Extension Mode, enter BIOS (defaulting to EZ Mode), switch to Advanced Mode by pressing F7, and locate the Memory Extension Mode option on the Overclocking page. Select the desired mode from the menu to apply".

GEIL (Golden Emperor International Ltd) has announced that its entire range of DDR5 RAM will now be available in CUDIMM and UDIMM flavors, with overclocking possible up to a speed of 9200MT/s.

CUDIMM is a relatively fresh, but growing, trend in the world of system memory which benefits from a clock driver being present on the RAM stick.

So, instead of relying on the system clock, there's an onboard clock which gives better stability to the memory module - obviously that's particularly important when overclocking, particularly to very high speeds.

KLEVV has just unveiled its new URBANE V RGB DDR5 Gaming OC memory, with a beautiful white aesthetic, RGB lighting, and speeds of up to 8400 MT/s.

The new KLEVV URBANE V RGB DDR5 Gaming OC memory has been crafted for content creators and gamers, with the company explaining its new memory captures the "essence of speed, stability, and precision". KLEVV is making its new URBANE V RGB DDR5 Gaming OC memory available in 32GB kits (16GB x 2), 48GB kits (24GB x 2) and 64GB kits (32GB x 2) with speeds of up to 8400 MT/s.

KLEVV says that its new URBANE V RGB DDR5 Gaming OC memory has been built a robust 10-layer PCB, which provides enhanced signal integrity and stability, allowing for consistent, high-speed data processing. We've also got extremely low voltage settings that range between 1.1V and 1.45V depending on the speed.

Acer has just teased its new CUDIMM memory modules, with the introduction of its new CUDIMM memory module design called Hera DDR5 Special Edition. It's covered in a real gold mirror finish, endorsed by the in-house OC lab, and can crank up to speeds beyond 10,000 MT/s.

Acer announced its new Predator Hera DDR5 Special Edition UDIMM memory modules on social media, powered by SK hynix memory chips and a single memory module of up to 24GB. On default settings, Acer's new UDIMM memory modules with an Intel XMP profile set to 9200 MT/s at CL46-56-46-134 latencies.

A second XMP profile is also on offer for advanced users, clocking in at 9466 MT/s at CL48-57-57-134 latencies, and while the higher speeds are normally used with the primary XMP profile, Acer is being careful as not all motherboards can handle these lofty DDR5 speeds of up to and over 10,000 MT/s.

MSI's new MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard has been used with Kingston's new Fury Renegade DDR5 UDIMM memory modules to break the memory OC world record with speeds of 12196 MT/s.

MSI overclocker Kovan Yang used the MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard, which is a high-end Z890 motherboard designed for overclocking, rocking just two DDR5 DIMMs. Yang didn't just want to reach a new benchmark record, but rather a high and stable frequency that was validated with CPU-Z, something that regularly involves overclocking a single DIMM (a 24GB module in this case).

Kingston's new Fury Renegade DDR5 UDIMM memory modules were used, and pushed to 6097.6MHz (12196 MT/s) with 48-120-120-127-2 timings. As for the CPU, Yang used the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor, which was tweaked to run with just two CPU cores at 400MHz. You wouldn't run your everyday PC like this, but these tweaks are required for breaking OC memory records like this.

With the arrival of Intel's new Core Ultra Series 2 processors and the Z890 motherboard platform expanding and pushing DDR5 memory to new heights - it's currently world record season for memory overclockers. A few days ago, we reported on Kingston's new FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM memory setting a new 'insane 12,108MT/s speed' with Intel's Core Ultra 7 265KF processor and MSI's MEG Z890 UNIFY-X motherboard.

Today, G.SKILL and the ASUS ROG team have announced that they've broken the DDR5 frequency record with an even more insane 12,112 MT/s speed. The new record has already been submitted to HWBOT and CPU-Z, detailing the hardware used and DDR5 timings of CL52.0 92-92-12.

The 'unprecedented' DDR5-12112 record was recorded by ASUS ROG extreme overclocker Safedisk, using G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 memory, an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard, and the new flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. And lots of LN2 cooling.
