Canadian overclocker SaltyCroissant established a new world record for DDR5 memory frequency, surpassing previous benchmarks with remarkable speed achievements. The overclocker collaborated with industry experts, including HiCookie from Gigabyte, Corsair's Sofos, and Splave, to reach this milestone. Their setup featured a Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, paired with Corsair DDR5 Vengeance memory and an Intel Core i7-12700 K processor. Liquid nitrogen cooling covered the entire upper motherboard section to maintain extreme temperatures during testing. The official validation recorded 12,920.2 MT/s, while unofficial results showed speeds of 13,020 MT/s.

This achievement surpassed the previous record of 12,872.2 MT/s set on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard. The new speeds represent 2.69 times faster performance compared to standard JEDEC DDR5 specifications of 4800 MT/s. Memory timings required significant loosening to CL68 with 128-128-256-1500-2T configurations for stability at these frequencies. Gigabyte continues to develop CAMM2 memory support for its future flagship overclocking motherboards. The company demonstrated a Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE CAMM2 variant at Computex to showcase potential improvements in memory overclocking capabilities.
