G.Skill's next-generation CAMM2 DDR5 memory modules, with 96 GB & 64 GB capacities, have been overclocked to 10,000 MT/s speeds.
User Pushes G.Skill's CAMM2 DDR5 Memory To 10,000 MT/s On ASUS's ROG Maximus Z890 HERO Motherboard, Up To 96 GB Capacities
A user on Chiphell Forums has demonstrated the overclocking capabilities of G.Skill's CAMM2 DDR5 memory modules on the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 HERO motherboard. While we have already seen CAMM2 in action, these results also highlight the impressive overclocking capabilities of the next-gen modules.
The user states that he received the motherboard from a friend in Taipei. The board is ASUS's ROG Maximus Z890 HERO CAMM2. This motherboard features a CAMM2 slot for memory instead of the standard UDIMM slots, and isn't available for sale. The motherboard could be an engineering sample provided by an overclocker or ASUS itself.
The user was also running CAMM2 memory, made by G.Skill, which is also an engineering sample. The rest setup was using a large 1080mm custom-looped radiator for cooling the CPU, and the memory itself was running without a heatsink, but there was a fan placed next to it so it was being actively cooled.
In the first test, the CAMM2 DDR5 memory was overclocked to 9866 MT/s with CAS Timings set to CL52-70-70-154-1082-2T. The memory was table as it passed the RunMemTestPro benchmark for up to 49:21 Minutes, achieving an average cover speed of 90.81 MB/s and a 24T cover speed of 2179.33 MB/s with Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. The memory reached a maximum temperature of 58 °C with a voltage of 1.410V.
This was a 64 GB kit, but the user also shared the results of a 96 GB CAMM2 DDR5 memory module based on the latest Hynix dies. The memory was running at 9600 MT/s speeds with CAS Timings set to CL46-58-58-154-1066-2T. The memory reached a maximum temperature of 65 °C with a maximum voltage supply of 1.456V. According to the user, the 64 GB CAMM2 DDR5 memory modules can easily hit 10,000 MT/s, while similar speeds can be achieved with 96 GB modules too.
These are ES variants, so there's still some tuning and optimization work to be done, but once again, CAMM2 is showing some great speeds even when the memory still hasn't reached the hands of regular consumers. It is believed that CAMM2 will take a generation or two of CPU platforms before it goes mainstream, but there is a lot of potential in the use of this memory technology with the upcoming DDR6 standard, as we reported here.
