In another memory overclocking attempt, overclocker Hicookie managed to break all the existing DDR5 records by hitting over 12700 MT/s.
Hicookie's DDR5 12726 MT/s Memory Speed Replaces Splave's World Record of 12698 MT/s on Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
Here we are with another impressive world record that is taking DDR5 memory speed closer to 13000 MT/s. While it will still take some time and quite a good amount of effort to break that mark, it looks like it isn't impossible now. Hicookie's DDR5 overclocking result has achieved a new height by breaking through the 12700 MT/s mark, which is the first.
The overclocker has been making some excellent progress on the Intel Z890 platform, making new records every week. The latest one was made with the V-Color Manta Xfinity RGB DDR5 memory on the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard. Hicookie used the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and liquid nitrogen-cooled single 24 GB memory module to achieve a memory frequency of 6363 MHz or 12726 MT/s. This replaces the previous world record by Splave, who pushed a G.Skill Trident Z5 memory to 12698 MT/s.
The Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE is a motherboard designed exclusively for overclocking enthusiasts, offering exceptional capabilities with its advanced all-digital power design. Equipped with overclocking toolkit, convenient shortcut keys, toggle switches, and voltage detection functions, Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE empowers overclockers to push beyond their boundaries effortlessly.

Gigabyte proudly boasts the results in a press release, calling its Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE a motherboard designed 'exclusively for overclocking enthusiasts'. The Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE was one of the first to achieve over 10,000 MT/s DDR5 memory speed and, surprisingly, it was Hicookie who used the same configuration a few months back. However, the memory latency has also increased drastically, which is obvious. At CL 68-127-127-254, don't expect the memory to offer any noticeable uplifts over 10000 MT/s achieved at CL 48-58-58-140.
It's rather a hobby for overclocking enthusiasts like Hicookie to compete with other world-class overclockers. Still, Hicookie was able to break three world records of 3DMark CPU Profile 1T/2T/8T with a 12726 MT/s memory speed. At this pace, expect other overclockers to achieve even higher memory speeds in the coming weeks and, eventually, we could reach 13000 MT/s.
