For customers shopping for a reminiscence equipment of DDR5, in the event that they wish to adhere to Intel specs, will purchase a DDR5-4800 equipment. Although by way of XMP, there are different sooner kits accessible – we have even examined G.Talent’s DDR5-6000 equipment in our reminiscence scaling article. However going above and past that, there’s overclocking.
Again in November 2021, excessive overclocker ‘Hocayu’ managed to realize DDR5-8704 utilizing G.Talent’s Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 reminiscence. As all the time with these data, they’re made to be damaged, and fellow Hong-Kong native lupin_no_musume has managed to surpass this with a powerful DDR5-8888, additionally utilizing G.Talent Trident Z5 reminiscence, with an ASUS’s ROG Maximus Z690 Apex motherboard, Intel’s Core i9-12900K processor, and a few liquid nitrogen.
With out attempting to sound controversial, certainly, excessive overclocking is not as common because it as soon as was. That is not to say it does not have a goal – utilizing sub-ambient cooling strategies equivalent to liquid nitrogen, dry ice, and even liquid helium can enhance frequencies on processors and graphics playing cards effectively past what’s achievable with customary cooling. Doing this not solely reveals the potential of {hardware}, but it surely additionally offers firms ‘bragging rights’ as being the proud house owners of overclocking world data. Automobile firms boast about the very best Nürburgring file for a wide range of classes, or tuning their mainstream choices, in a similar way.

This not solely pushes the boundaries of what DDR5 reminiscence is able to, but it surely’s additionally a powerful feat given DDR5 is comparatively nascent. For reference, going from DDR5-6000 to DDR5-8888 represents an overclock of round 48% over the XMP profile and a loopy 85% overclock over the JEDEC specification of DDR5-4800. It needs to be value noting that that is an all out information price file no matter latency, which on this case was elevated to 88 over the usual 40, for stability. Going again to the automobile analogy, this might be akin to hurry data on the drag strip, relatively than on the oval.

Whereas speeds of DDR5-8888 aren’t attainable within the type of purchasable reminiscence kits for Alder Lake, G.Talent did unveil a retail equipment that tops out at DDR5-7000. We additionally reported again in November 2021 that S.Okay. Hynix was planning for DDR5-8400 at 1.1 volts, however that is really a part of the prolonged JEDEC specs for when processors get verfied at that pace.
