G.Skill Trident Z5 CK RGB DDR5 Memory Hits a Record 12,666 MT/s with ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF Motherboard

G.Skill has once again proven its supremacy in the memory market as the Trident Z5 CK RGB DDR5 smashed all previous overclocking records, achieving an astounding 12,666 MT/s. This record-breaking feat was made possible by Splave, a renowned overclocker, utilizing liquid nitrogen cooling and the powerhouse ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard.

Breaking Boundaries in DDR5 Overclocking

Splave's overclocking session hit 6333 MHz (12,666 MT/s), surpassing the previous records of 6317.5 MHz by SnakeEyes, 6263.9 MHz by AKM, and 6175.4 MHz by Saltycroissant. While DDR5 memory inherently boasts impressive overclocking potential, this achievement takes performance to an entirely new level.

Key setup details for the record-breaking session:

• Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 CK RGB DDR5 (24 GB stick)

• Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

• Motherboard: ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF

• Cooling: Liquid Nitrogen (LN2)

The ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF once again proved its mettle, being the motherboard of choice for this and many other recent DDR5 memory overclocking records.

A Milestone for Enthusiasts

Splave’s efforts highlight the raw potential of DDR5 memory, particularly when paired with high-end components. However, such overclocking feats are more about pushing boundaries than practical gains, as real-world applications won't typically benefit from speeds this extreme.

As Splave himself demonstrated, the journey of achieving these records is as much about passion and precision as it is about hardware.

G.Skill celebrated the achievement with a proud announcement:

“We’ve done it AGAIN! With the powerhouse combo of the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K CPU, ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, and of course G.SKILL memory, we have broken the World Record in DDR5 memory frequency at a jaw-dropping DDR5-12666!”
