In the field of extreme memory overclocking, the first half of the year passed under the banner of Intel's Coffee Lake Refresh processors, as they quickly pushed the limiting memory operating modes beyond DDR4-5500, but each subsequent step was given with great difficulty. The AMD platform managed to bounce back a little after the release of the Ryzen 3000 processors, but the current memory overclocking record for systems based on processors of this brand corresponds to the regime and third place in the HWBot ranking.
This week, the Intel platform moved even higher, breaking the psychologically important bar of DDR4-6000. As always, sponsors of the corresponding experiment rushed to trumpet a new record for overclocking RAM, among which the G.SKILL trademark was also noticed. It was she who provided the only 8 GB Trident Z Royal Memory module, which was able to overclock to the mode at delay values ββ31-63-63-63-2.
Tellingly, a record-setting Taiwanese enthusiast with a pseudonym TopPC reports that this memory module uses Hynix chips, and not the more familiar Samsung chips for similar configurations. The voltage had to be raised to 1,7 V, with this the record holder's comments are exhausted. But it is known that the engineering sample of the Intel Core i9-9900K processor of the P0 stepping was cooled with liquid nitrogen during the experiment, being installed in the MSI MPG Z390I Gaming Edge AC motherboard based on the Intel Z390 logic set. The memory module itself was also traditionally cooled with liquid nitrogen. Whether the next month's Intel Core i9-9900KS processor will be able to advance this record further, we will not know until October at the earliest.
