MSI and Kingston break DDR5 memory overclocking record, pushing a Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM kit to 12,196 MT/s

In an impressive showcase of overclocking ability, MSI's Kovan Yang has set a new world record for the highest stable memory frequency, beating the recent DDR5-12112 record set by safedisk. For this achievement, an MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard and a Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 CU DIMM memory stick were used.

This successful record-breaking attempt wasn't about achieving a high benchmark score, as is often the case in HWBOT's memory frequency competitions. Instead, the objective focused on reaching the highest possible memory frequency while maintaining the memory and system stability.

The CPU-Z Validator entry shows the overclocker worked with a single 24GB DDR5 module. Yang pushed the memory to an astonishing 6097.6MHz with 48-120-120-127 timings, showcasing the capabilities of the Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs. The test system used an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF engineering sample running on two P-cores underclocked to 400MHz.

As typical for extreme overclocking, this was only possible by using liquid nitrogen to cool the memory.

KitGuru says: Will this record be beaten anytime soon, or will it remain untouched until the next push in memory technology?
