After entering the DDR5 era, many manufacturers are very active in tapping their limit potential in overclocking. At the beginning of this year, the Zhiqi Trident Z5 series DDR5 memory, Intel Core i9-12900K processor and Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z690 APEX motherboard set a world record for DDR5 memory overclocking, reaching the amazing DDR5-8888 (timing CL88-88-88-88).
In the DDR5 overclocking, MSI's OC team only opened the two performance cores of the Core i9-12900KS processor, turned off hyper-threading, and reduced the frequency to 425.68MHz, of which the external frequency was 106.42MHz, and the multiplier was 4. Kingston Fury Beast series DDR5 memory has a frequency of 5001.8MHz, which is the DDR5-10004 of the lighting effect. MSI's DDR5 overclocking results this time have been verified by Hwbot and CPU-Z.
Kingston and MSI have been working together on memory optimization and overclocking, and MSI has even sold its top-of-the-line MEG Z690 GODLIKE motherboard with the Kingston DDR5 memory bundle at 6000MHz as a bundle. A number of memory manufacturers have announced plans for DDR5 memory above 10,000MHz, and with the release of new generation processors such as Intel Raptor Lake and AMD Raphael, it is likely to continue to drive the spike in DDR5 memory frequency.
