DDR5 memory has not yet been able to win over consumers, such was its launch price, and now, the price of the platforms that support its purchase and implementation. But if there’s one thing that’s undeniable, it’s the potential of this memory in the grand scheme of things.
An example of this is what the overclocker HiCookie and Gigabyte were able to do in an exercise to push the components to their current limit.
DDR5 RAM memory has already touched 11316 MHz
Therefore, while it would be normal to buy a kit of DDR4 RAM memory at 3000MHz, 3200MHz or 3600MHz, with DDR5 RAM memory we have to go much further. After all, there are already kits on the market capable of easily reaching 6200MHZ, with very decent timings.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg, DDR5 RAM has tremendous potential to reach values never seen before in the computing world. Which is exactly why, with the sponsorship of GIGABYTE, professional overclocker HiCookie was able to reach an incredible 11316MHz in a state-of-the-art kit.
We are talking about a single 16GB module (GIGABYTE AORUS DDR5), on a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Tachyon motherboard, with a Core i9-13900K processor.
This single memory module reached the aforementioned 11316MHz, with timings of 64-127-127-127-127. Unfortunately, we have no idea of the voltage, but the entire exercise has been validated by CPUID.
Also, what do you think about all this? Interesting? Do you think that DDR5 RAM should already be the standard, or is it too early for such a thing? Share your opinion with us in the comments box below.
