Corsair Sets New DDR3 Overclocking World Record at 3467MHz
Corsair today announced that it has set a new world record with a memory frequency of 1733.8MHz (DDR3-3467) using Corsair Dominator GT CMGTX6 extreme-performance DDR3 memory.
World champion overclocker and Corsair employee Jake “Planet” Crimmins set the new record at Corsair’s laboratory with a custom-designed, liquid nitrogen cooled PC based on an AMD FX-8150 processor and equipped with 1GB of Dominator GT extreme-performance DDR3 memory. The system was powered by a Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 fully modular power supply. The 1GB DDR3 memory module was running at 3467MHz with 11-13-13-31 timings. It would be interesting to know the voltage required to hit this speed, but it wasn’t mentioned.
After swapping out to a second Bulldozer CPU things looked even more promising. After several sessions of overclocking I was finally able to break 3400MHz memory frequency barrier which was just shy of the world record by 43MHz. Getting those last few MHz was really tough! After countless blue screens and crashes I was able to get 3467.8MHz however the CPUz validation was corrupt. I had the screenshot but it was useless without the validation. I continued to test and after an hour of blue screens I was able to get the validation file with the memory at 3467.8MHz and take the world record!!!
