Back To Back DDR5 World Records: Sergmann Breaks Saltycroissant’s Fresh Record With an Incredible 13,530 MT/s
The DDR5 overclocking scene has just experienced one of its wildest weeks yet. Within the span of a single day, two of the world’s top memory overclockers traded world records back to back, pushing DDR5 performance into unprecedented territory.
Last week’s impressive 13,322 MT/s CENS record was shattered by the renowned overclocker Saltycroissant, who achieved 13,407 MT/s (6703.9 MHz) using Corsair Vengeance 24 GB DDR5 on the GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard under liquid nitrogen cooling.
But the celebration was short lived.
Later that same day, legendary overclocker Sergmann reclaimed the throne, pushing even farther to an astonishing 13,530 MT/s (6765.2 MHz), once again using Corsair’s Vengeance DDR5 and Gigabyte’s elite overclocking platform, the Z890 Tachyon ICE.
This achievement marks an incredible advance toward the long anticipated 14,000 MT/s milestone, which now appears more attainable than ever.
Saltycroissant’s Run: 13,407 MT/s
• Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 24 GB
• Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
• Cooling: Liquid Nitrogen
• Frequency: 6703.9 MHz (13,407 MT/s)
• Timings: CL68 127 127 127 2
• UCLK:MCLK ratio: 3:196
The Tachyon ICE’s dominance on the leaderboard continues, appearing in nearly every top 10 memory frequency submission thanks to its extreme tuning capabilities and cold friendly design.
Sergmann’s Record Breaking Run: 13,530 MT/s
• Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 24 GB
• Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
• CPU: Core Ultra 9 285K
• Frequency: 6765.2 MHz (13,530 MT/s)
• Timings: CL68 127 127 2
• UCLK:MCLK ratio: 3:192
Notably, Sergmann managed to tighten the UCLK:MCLK ratio below what is typically stable at such extreme speeds, demonstrating exceptional tuning and IMC optimization on the new Core Ultra 9 285K.
Both results further prove the rising headroom of DDR5 technology, especially in combination with the latest silicon and specialized OC focused motherboards. With two overclockers breaking records the same day, the push toward 14,000 MT/s feels closer than ever.
The only question now is: Who will be the first to cross the 14 GHz barrier?
Do you think we will see 14,000 MT/s achieved before the end of the year? Share your predictions below.
