Five Overclocking Records Broken With G.SKILL DDR3 Memory

G.SKILL DDR3 memory was popular during the week of Computex this year, with five world records beaten with systems using their memory products. First up Super Pi 32M with a time of just 4mins 44.734sec sets the new record and was achieved by Fredyama-san and Shamino. The system used consisted of an ASUS Maximus V Formula paired with an Intel Core i7 3770K CPU. The memory from G.SKILL was clocked at 2646 MHz CL5-9-7-18 1T timings.

The next record that was broken was accomplished using G.SKILLs Trident X memory kit, which set a new memory read bandwidth record of 32,339 MB/s at DDR3 2900 MHz CL 10 1T using some sophisticated sub-timing changes. The record was set by Hiwa Pouri who was also using an ASUS Maximus V Forumla motherboard paired with an Intel Core i7 3770k to achieve this overclocking feat.

A new 3DMark 11 record was broken as well using G.SKILL RipjawZ DDR3 clocked at 2468 MHz CL10. Kingpin and Duck-san managed to break the 3DMark record with a score of 31299. They achieved this using an EVGA X79 CLASSIFIED motherboard, 4x EVGA CLASSIFIED GTX 680 GPUs, EVGA NEX CLASSIFIED 1500W powersupply and the cherry on top being an Intel Core i7 3930K.

The 16GB memory speed record was set at DDR3 3286 MHz CL11 which was achieved using G.SKILLs Trident X 2800 MHz 16GB DDR3 kit. The record set by Hiwa Pouri was done using once again an ASUS Maximus V Forumla motherboard and Intel i7 3770k. Certainly an impressive clock speed for a 16GB memory kit to say the least.

But the record that certainly sets a new bar for G.SKILL has to be the fastest memory frequency record which was shattered by John Lam with a speed of 3842 MHz. This was achieved using G.SKILL’s TridentX memory on a Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H motherboard paired with an AMD A8-3850 CPU.
