MSI has become the first vendor to hit DDR5 memory overclock speeds of over 10,000 Mbps using its MEG Z690 Unify-X motherboard.
MSI Hits DDR5-10004 Memory Overclock On Its Z690 Unify-X Motherboard, First To Breach The 10 Gbps Memory Clock
The overclocking record was achieved by Kovan Yang from Taiwan who is part of MSI’s OC Team and also Extreme Overclockers of Taiwan. The overclocker used MSI’s renowned MEG Z690 Unify-X motherboard which is known for its extreme memory overclocking capabilities and hit some insane speeds on Kingston’s Fury Beast DDR5 memory kit. The whole platform was running on Intel’s Core i9-12900KS CPU which was downclocked to 400 MHz at 1.253V to sustain the memory overclock.
As for the overclock itself, the Kingston Fury Beast which has been used to break several world records before was pushed to an insane 10004 Mbps speeds, There’s a reason why MSI bundles the same kit with its flagship MEG Z690 GODLIKE motherboard, a product that costs almost $2000 US.
A 2.08x increase in transfer rates versus its standard DDR5-4800 specs. The CPU-z validation link shows that the overclocker hit a 5001.8 MT/s or 10004 Mbps effective rate with clocks at 72-126-126-126-127-2 (tCAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC-tCR).
