Professional overclockers have been battling for the DDR5 speed crown in recent months, with the record being broken a couple of times. G.Skill today announced that the overclocking world record has been broken again, this time by G.Skill OC World Cup 2023 champion, Seby.

Seby won the G.Skill OC World Cup in 2023, an event that takes place each year alongside Computex. Since that big win, Seby has consistently achieved top rankings on HWBOT and is a key contributor to the professional overclocking scene.

Seby's latest achievement is breaking the DDR5 speed record. Using G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 memory with SK-Hynix DDR5 ICs, running on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, Seby was able to crank the speeds up to 12,772MT/s. Speaking on the achievement, G.Skill Product Marketing lead, Frank Hung, said: “We are extremely proud to once again see the G.SKILL Trident Z5 memory set a new world record. This achievement is a testament to our relentless pursuit of memory performance and the strength of our ongoing collaboration with Intel and ASUS.”

The result has been validated on both HWBOT and CPU-Z. Crucially, LN2 cooling is used to achieve these record-breaking speeds. You won't get this kind of an overclock using standard cooling methods at home.
