A computer expert known as bl4ckdot just broke the world record for DDR5 memory speed. He pushed his memory to 12774 MT/s, beating the old record by only 2 MHz. Bl4ckdot used the same ROG Maximus Z890 APEX motherboard that the previous record holder, Seby, had used. This marks the first time bl4ckdot has reached the top spot among famous overclockers like Seby, Hicookie, Splave, and saltycroissant.

Bl4ckdot built his setup with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K chip and G.Skill Trident Z5 memory at 24 GB capacity. He posted his results on HWBot, showing he reached 6387 MHz memory frequency. The task needed liquid nitrogen cooling to keep parts from overheating. Changing memory timing settings and voltage levels required careful adjustments. Most experts consider even small gains very hard to achieve at these extreme speeds.

Future records might happen, but will likely show tiny improvements as overclockers reach the limits of current hardware. G.Skill continues making faster memory chips for these attempts. Their recent products can reach speeds beyond 8000 MT/s even with large 128 GB memory kits.
