High-Frequency Memory Overclocking 8000 MT/s to 8600 MT/s and Beyond

TapTechNews July 20th news, in the past six months, various major memory manufacturers have launched some 8000 MT/s high-frequency memories. For example, a 32GB memory of Kingston is currently sold for 1899 yuan on JD.com, and a 48GB memory of G.Skill is sold for 2699 yuan.

If you want a higher-frequency memory, what should we do? We can only overclock it by ourselves. Fortunately, major motherboard manufacturers have also launched new motherboards designed for memory overclocking optimization, including supporting IACEP unlock voltage reduction, supporting BCLK Offset function, on-board clock generator, etc.

Overclocking enthusiast Benny LodewijkNitolo Lase found in the test that currently many 8000 MT/s memories can be further overclocked. For example, he successfully overclocked to 8600 MT/s without the help of any high-end radiator through the MSI Z790M MPower (1599-1699 yuan on JD.com) and the Patriot Xtreme 5M Power DDR5 memory.

This motherboard has an overseas price of 199 US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 1448 yuan). It is only equipped with two DDR5 memory slots and is very suitable for memory overclocking.

This memory has a maximum of only 7600 MT/s in XMP mode (CL36-48-48-84-117), but manual overclocking can reach 8600 MT/s (CL40-52-52-134-186-2T), and the voltage is set to 1.48V. No errors occurred in the TestMem5 of this test platform, indicating that the memory can operate normally and stably.

According to the AIDA64 Cache&Memory test data he provided, the memory read speed at this time is 129.54 GB/s, the write speed is 127.50 GB/s, the copy speed is 125.53 GB/s, and the latency is 59.0 ns.

It is worth mentioning that he had previously successfully overclocked to 10314 MT/s (CL72-126-126-126-127-2T) through this platform, but it is obvious that liquid nitrogen was used.
