The realm of DDR5 memory overclocking is witnessing an intense battle as enthusiasts continually push the envelope to set new world records.
Saltycroissant Sets New Benchmark at 13, 153 MT/s with Corsair Vengeance DDR5 on GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
Having recently surpassed the 13, 000 MT/s threshold, a milestone achieved by Sergmann last month, the competition is heating up as competitors are breaking records in mere hours. Just yesterday, renowned overclocker Hicookie set a notable benchmark of 13, 034 MT/s utilizing GIGABYTE’s Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard. However, this record was swiftly eclipsed by CENS, who registered an impressive 13, 040 MT/s within the same day.

Today’s highlight is Saltycroissant, who has broken the records once more by utilizing a 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 setup paired with the GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard. His impressive achievement includes a significant increase of nearly 119 MT/s over Hicookie’s record and about 113 MT/s over CENS’s peak frequency. Saltycroissant has now crossed into uncharted territory by becoming the first overclocker to hit the 13, 153 MT/s mark with his configuration, which also includes the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU.
Slowly moving toward 7000, Thx to Corsair (DDR5 Vengeance) / Gigabyte (Z890 Tachyon ICE) / Splave (SplaveOne paste).And special thx to Hicookie, Sofos and Serg!!!

The timings associated with this record were consistent with previous submissions, confirmed through CPU-Z, which recorded latencies of CL68-127-127-127-2. While these timings may not optimize performance to the fullest, they are a necessary trade-off for achieving such elevated memory frequencies—a pursuit that often feels more like a spirited hobby than a competitive race.
As excitement builds, it appears overclockers are setting their sights on an astonishing target of approaching 14, 000 MT/s. This goal will undoubtedly be challenging yet feasible, especially considering the rapid pace at which new records are being established. Interestingly, what once took several weeks to achieve now barely lasts a day at the summit of world records following the crossing of the 13, 000 MT/s barrier.
