G.SKILL Tops Fastest DDR4 Frequency Record Once Again at 4355MHz
G.SKILL International Co. Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and solid state storage, is thrilled to announce a new record for fastest DDR4 memory frequency, set at 4355 MHz.
The record was set with G.SKILL's extreme performance Ripjaws 4 series DDR4 memory on the ASUS Rampage V Extreme motherboard and Intel i7-5960X processor under extreme cooling with liquid nitrogen. Check out the CPU-Z record validation here.
In addition to this new DDR4 frequency record, G.SKILL memory kits have also been used to set a total of 9 world records in January 2015 (source). TridentX series memory and 3 world records set with the G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series memory, this marks a great start to the year or 2015.

DDR is double data rate, 4355"MHz" is the effective rate.
The frequency of this ram is higher than GDDR5 @ "7Ghz"
both as the mem controller is not able to hit those speeds without.
only needed 1.6vdimm it seems so maybe it was massive overkill cooling too xD
edit
it's an epic feat imo and i love all the haters saying it is pointless xD
Of course, it is pointless from practical advantage point. It is useful only for those who did it but anyways for all the others it has next to zero meaning.
For instance AMD chip only does 4.4 Ghz with 1.58v on air..won't go any further..
Add ln2...chip will do 4.4 with less voltage and go further
i do agree that it could be the reason why he has been able to hit those speeds on such low voltage but as of yet i have not seen anything to indicate how much cold scales with ddr4 if at all.
It seems you are not the adventurous type.
It's also how weaknesses are exposed and innovation happens.
Its proof of how high DDR4 can go as they refine the manufacturing process, for normal use.
Look at DDR3 - started out at 1066Mhz, stopped officially at 1600Mhz - yet 2400Mhz stuff is cheap and easily bought on the market.
Where will DDR4 stop, once they get the kinks ironed out and try to duplicate these results and speeds under normal use?
