Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5 memory hits 13,211MT/s in new overclocking world record

Patriot Memory's flagship Viper Xtreme 5 DDR5 has officially broken the world record for memory frequency, becoming the first to surpass the 13,200 MT/s barrier.

The new record was set by professional overclocker Ai Max and tuning specialist Brian “Chew”. Using liquid nitrogen cooling (LN2), the team achieved a validated speed of 6605.7MHz (CL68-127-127-127-2), which translates to an effective data rate of 13,211.4MT/s. This score now sits at the top of the international rankings on HWBOT.

Funny enough, the platform used to achieve this result was built on previous-generation hardware. The record-breaking Viper Xtreme 5 memory module was installed on a Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Tachyon Ice motherboard and paired with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor underclocked to 2.1GHz on the P-cores and 1.7GHz on the E-cores. Both components were operating under LN2.
