G.Skill Achieves Historic DDR5-12052 & DDR5-12054 Memory OC Records with Air Cooling

[btarunr]

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory, is excited to announce two historical overclock achievements of reaching DDR5-12052 and DDR5-12054 memory overclock speed records under air cooling with the G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5 memory. Previously, reaching the DDR5-12000 milestone required a more extreme cooling method, such as liquid nitrogen or dry ice. These incredible achievements with air cooling demonstrate the amazing overclock potential of modern hardware. The DDR5-12052 memory overclock speed is achieved by "saltycroissant", an extreme overclocker from Canada, using the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor and ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard. Meanwhile, the DDR5-12054 memory overclock speed is achieved by "speed.fastest", an extreme overclocker from Indonesia, using the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K desktop processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard.

In earlier overclock records on the Intel Z890 platform, only extreme sub-zero cooling with liquid nitrogen or dry ice was used to achieve overclock speeds of over DDR5-12000. These memory overclock records, achieved with CPU on water cooling and memory on air cooling, is an incredible milestone for the overclock community. Both overclocking records on air cooling were achieved with one module from a G.SKILL Trident Z5 series DDR5-8000 CL38 2x48GB (F5-8000J3848F24GX2-TZ5K) memory kit.



The DDR5-12054 memory speed record achieved by speed.fastest is validated by HWBOT.org and CPU-Z Validator. Refer to the screenshots and links below for more details on this remarkable overclocking feat.

DDR5-12054 (HWBOT.org): here.

For saltycroissant's DDR5-12052 memory speed record on air cooling, refer to the screenshot below for the CPU-Z Validator submission. Since hwbot.org only shows the highest record submission per category for each overclocker, saltycroissant's earlier liquid nitrogen record of DDR5-12642 with G.SKILL Trident Z5 memory at the overall #3 spot takes precedence in the air cooled overclock record.

Special congratulations to speed.fastest and saltycroissant for such amazing achievements, which could not have happened without each of their amazing memory overclocking experience and sophisticated memory tweaking skills. G.SKILL is thrilled to be part of this record breaking history, and will continue to provide outstanding memory products to the overclocking community.

So, Intel breaking all the memory & CPU OC records while AMD break all the sales records lol

Wake me up, when they make overclock record with reasonable memory timing. Currently their "record" is probably slower than the most basic stock RAM kits

Wake me up, when they make overclock record with reasonable memory timing.

You can sleep forever then. Sweet dreams.

Great..............................

Not sure how they are in other countries but I've found gskill usually provides the best timings at the lowest or close to lowest prices for a given frequency/capacity. Been like this for over 10 years, which is strange since all RAM makers source their chips from the same 2 or 3 places.
Either everyone else over charges or gskill is money laundering. Refuse to believe a corporation is just being nice lol

"CL38 2x48GB"

No its not. It is from a 2x24GB kit.

I can't see these sales records. Intel still has ~65% of the market. From the latest AMD CPUs, only the 9800X3D is interesting, but it's been unavailable in most stores since its release, so it doesn't affect the global market much. New Intels are "global meh", but probably still sell better because they are available. Many people have also moved to Intel because the most interesting 9800X3D is highly overpriced or unavailable in their area (in some countries, you won't buy them for under $800, if you can even find them).

I found this in a matter of seconds: AMD is off to a great start in 2025 with overwhelming CPU and motherboard sales versus Intel - PC Guide
