G.SKILL Demonstrates DDR5-10000 Overclock With 64GB CAMM2 Module on ASUS Z890 Platform
G.SKILL has announced a major milestone in next-generation memory testing by achieving a Memtest-stable DDR5-10000 overclock using the emerging CAMM2 form factor. This feat was achieved in close collaboration with the ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) team, utilizing a customized ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Hero CAMM2 motherboard and an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor.
CAMM2: Breaking the Limits of Traditional DIMMs
The CAMM2 (Compression Attached Memory Module) form factor, originally introduced as a laptop memory innovation, is now being evaluated for desktop platforms. G.SKILL’s recent success proves that this low-profile, high-density module can be pushed to extreme performance levels. In this case, a single 64GB CAMM2 module reached DDR5-10000 speeds at CL52 latency, running 100% Memtest coverage without errors.
The memory testing was conducted on a custom-modified ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Hero CAMM2 board, which supports the new memory form factor and integrates advanced tuning options for overclocking scenarios. This pairing with Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra 7 265K—part of Intel’s Arrow Lake-S platform—highlights the ongoing evolution of high-performance computing and memory architecture.
Overclocking Milestone Signals New Frontier for Enthusiast Platforms
While DDR5-10000 speeds have previously been limited to laboratory conditions or achieved with ultra-low-capacity DIMMs, G.SKILL’s demonstration with a full-capacity 64GB CAMM2 module marks an important shift. It shows that CAMM2 is not only viable but potentially superior in signal integrity, thermals, and space efficiency compared to traditional UDIMMs.
This Memtest-stable milestone is only the beginning. As motherboard makers like ASUS refine their CAMM2-enabled platforms, and as JEDEC finalizes broader CAMM2 adoption standards, desktop enthusiasts can look forward to a future where ultra-high-capacity, high-speed memory becomes more compact, efficient, and easier to cool.
