G.Skill Trident Z5 Sets New DDR5 Overclocking Record at 12772 MT/s on ROG Maximus Z890 Apex

Renowned for pushing the limits of hardware, professional overclocker Seby recently set a new benchmark by achieving an impressive memory speed of 12, 772 MT/s using G. Skill’s Trident Z5 RAM on the ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard.

Seby Claims Top Spot with Record-Breaking Overclocking Achievement

In the competitive world of overclocking, Seby has outperformed fellow overclocker Hicookie, who briefly held the number one position with a speed of 12, 762 MT/s using XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 memory. Seby’s new record showcases not only his expertise but also the exceptional potential of modern memory technology.

This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for G. Skill, as they celebrate the Trident Z5’s capability to achieve such extraordinary speeds. Until now, the V-Color Xfinity Manta RGB memory had been the reigning champion in terms of memory speed records.

We are extremely proud to once again see the G. SKILL Trident Z5 memory set a new world record,

This achievement is a testament to our relentless pursuit of memory performance and the strength of our ongoing collaboration with Intel and ASUS.

Seby utilized a single 24 GB module in a high-performance setup, powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard. This new speed record has been officially documented on HWBot and validated via CPU-Z. The recorded memory timings were CL68-127-127-127-2, which, while considered decent, is understandable given the extremely high frequency.

It’s important to note that operating memory at speeds exceeding 12, 000 MT/s may have marginal effects on real-world performance due to higher latency concerns associated with such advancements.

Overclocking often serves as a fascinating hobby for enthusiasts and a rigorous test of hardware capabilities. G.Skill continues to innovate with a range of high-speed memory options, including the Trident Z5 Neo, Trident Z5 Royal, and the Ripjaws series, while regularly conducting in-house overclocking tests to push boundaries.

Employing liquid nitrogen cooling, which is a common practice among elite overclockers, Seby was able to achieve this record speed. Moreover, the ability to reach such elevated rates largely depends on the combination of motherboard and CPU, with high-performance Z890 motherboards being essential for speeds beyond the 10, 000 MT/s threshold.
