Overclockers are having fun with AMD's newly released Ryzen 7 8700G APU with the B650E AORUS Tachyon achieving a record DDR5-10346 overclock.
Overclocker Pushes DDR5 Memory Above 10,000 MT/s Using Gigabyte B650E AORUS Tachyon Motherboard & AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU
The overclocking feat was achieved by Indonesian overclocker, Benny Lodewijk Nitolo Lase, who used the Gigabyte B650E AORUS Tachyon motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU & a pair of G.Skill's Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 7600 CL36 memory modules to hit some crazy memory speeds. In the first run, the overclocker achieved DDR5-9000+ speeds followed by the record DDR5-10,002 MT/s speeds. This was acknowledged by Gigabyte themselves as seen below:
However, Benny didn't stop there and has since achieved an even faster memory overclock of DDR5-10346 using the same AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU & Gigabyte B650E AORUS Tachyon board.
To achieve this, the DDR5 memory modules were set to 52-62-62-126-127 timings with the default voltages of 1.45V. The entire setup was air-cooled and no liquid cooling was used during the entire OC process.
Other overclockers are also pushing the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APUs to its peak capabilities. SoonHo Jeong aka SafeDisk from Korea was able to utilize up to DDR5-9000 CL36 memory with the APUs with the FCLK set to 2500 and reported no WHEA errors when running Y-Cruncher and stress tests using an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard.
This shows just how far the AM5 platform has come in a short time when it comes to support for higher frequency DDR5 memory. There was a time when the platform could hardly support DDR5 DRAM above 7000 MT/s and now you can easily run faster DIMMs and also achieve some fantastic overclock results. Intel's Z790 platform still retains the higher memory frequency world records on the single-channel and dual-channel test beds but the dual-channel speed differences between the Intel and AMD platforms is very minimal after the recent OC entry on the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G. We can only expect this to get better with future platform optimizations and new motherboard series.
