In the field of extreme memory overclocking, the first half of the year was marked by Intel's Coffee Lake Refresh processors, as they quickly pushed the memory operating limits beyond DDR4-5500, but each subsequent step was a challenge. The AMD platform managed to recover a bit after the release of the Ryzen 3000 processors, but the current overclocking record for systems based on these processors corresponds to the mode  and third place in the HWBot ranking.
This week, the Intel platform advanced even further, surpassing the psychologically significant threshold of DDR4-6000. As always, sponsors of the relevant experiment rushed to announce the new record for RAM overclocking, among which was the G.SKILL brand. They provided the single 8 GB Trident Z Royal Memory module that managed to overclock to the mode with timings of 31-63-63-63-2.
Interestingly, the record was set by a Taiwanese enthusiast with the pseudonym TopPC who reported that this memory module uses chips from Hynix, rather than the more familiar Samsung chips for such configurations. The voltage had to be raised to 1.7V, and this concludes the record holder's comments. It is also known that the engineering sample of the Intel Core i9-9900K processor of the P0 stepping was cooled with liquid nitrogen during the experiment, installed on the MSI MPG Z390I Gaming Edge AC motherboard based on the Intel Z390 chipset. The memory module itself was also traditionally cooled with liquid nitrogen. Whether the upcoming Intel Core i9-9900KS processor, set to release next month, will push this record further remains to be seen no earlier than October.
