DDR4 hits 4GHz

K.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Achieves DDR4 Memory Record at 4004MHz

X99 has just fabricated its way to the market and we are already seeing records existence smashed. The other day Hashwell-Due east i7 5960X did a marvelous clocks of 6235GHz and today history is made once once more by Shamino.

G.SKILL International Co. Ltd., the leading high operation retentiveness designer and manufacturer, has appear breaking the DDR4 retention speed record at 4004MHz farthermost frequency on Asus ROG X99 Rampage V and Intel core i7 5930k cpu.

Though 4ghz is not earth shattering accomplishment every bit nonetheless highest retention speed achieved are 4620mhz by Kingston visitor'southward ddr3 module as per this CPU-Z. Simply these early on batches of DDR4 evidence united states of america how overclockable these ddr4 modules will be as in nigh future nosotros might even come across speeds like 4700mhz and may be even 5GHz society.

To achieve 4GHz on retention, Gskills used Asus ROG X99 Rampage V with core i7 5930k and cooled this combo with liquid nitrogen. For rams, they used their new serial of Ripjaws 4. The frequency of the microprocessor was lowered to 2184.24MHz in order to maximize overclocking potential of its memory controller. The last frequency of the module was 4004.4MHz.

At stock these ram kits run at 2133 Mhz and timings of 15-xv-xv-35 at 1.2v. But for this examination to reach 4GHz voltage must have been around i.4v and timings are loosened to 17-25-29-50 as we tin can meet in the screenshots above. Only one module was used in single channel, which indicates the aim was just to show overclockability potential of thes rams. If beginning batch of these rams can do this much i can only imagine with better chips and better cooling treatments , any thing is possible.

Various news releases accept high hopes that in years to come with more sophisticated blueprint and motherboards architecture, DDR4 will keep surprising us. Simply few years dorsum we were looking at 333MHz DDR with the launch of X99 platforms, we are already hitting 4GHz plus.

Information technology is tremendously interesting to larn what the world'south top overclockers will manage to achieve with DDR4 memory in the coming weeks and months…

The G.Skill Ripjaws IV is listed on Overclockers United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland in quad channel kits of 16GB and 32GB capacity with speeds ranging from 2400 MHz to 3000 MHz (withal the 32GB capacity only goes upwardly to 2666 MHz). These have a slightly higher voltage of one.35v as compared to i.2v on standard DDR4 kits. Furthermore, the timings are too slightly loftier at 15-xv-15-35.

All these Ripjaws 4 retentivity kits are not available for pre-social club on Overclockers UK. The prices are definitely loftier compared to DDR3 but obvious because its a new applied science. Still, prices will go down as DDR4 goes mainstream. DDR4 kits will be compatible with upcomingIntel Haswell-E andX99 platform which launched on August 29, 2022.
