XPG, a provider of high-performance products for gamers, esports pros, and tech enthusiasts, is pleased to announce that it has expanded its DDR4 overclocking testing program with a new working relationship with leading motherboard maker, GIGABYTE. Following the heels of the launch of the Intel Z490 chipset, XPG began testing and overclocking its new DDR4 modules with the latest Z490 platforms, as well as AMD B550 platforms, to ensure they meet the highest standards of overclocking performance and stability. This latest cooperation with GIGABYTE is a furtherance of this endeavor.

In cooperation with GIGABYTE, the XPG Overclocking Lab (XOCL) was able to overclock the XPG SPECTRIX D50 DDR4 module to 4800 MHz on the GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE motherboard. Following this impressive result, the XOCL proceeded to test other XPG DDR4 modules on an array of other GIGABYTE motherboards to similar results.

ADATA Technology at CES announced that it has overclocked its XPG SPECTRIX D80 RGB DDR4 memory module to a frequency of 5584 MT/s, thus setting a new world record. The milestone was achieved with an Intel Core i9-9900K processor and MSI MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC motherboard in an LN2-cooled configuration.

This is the first time a memory frequency record has been set with a 9th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, and comes on the heels of the recent establishment of ADATA's XPG Overclocking Lab (XOCL) late last year. The lab is the first facility of its kind among worldwide DRAM makers and is an expansion of ADATA's continued effort towards achieving record-breaking memory speeds. This latest milestone has been published on HWBot.
