Back To Back DDR5 Speed World Records: Sergmann Breaks Saltycroissant’s Newly Made Record By Pushing To 13,530 MT/s

Two Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM modules, labeled 'World Record Holder' and 'Faster Than the Rest,' are shown on a fan with the text '13,530 MT/s'; a person wearing a Corsair shirt stands with another wearing a Gigabyte lanyard beside a Gigabyte backdrop.

Popular overclocker Sergmann beats Saltycroissant in a DDR5 overclocking competition the same day and takes back his crown for achieving the highest speed on his DDR5 memory.

New DDR5 Speed World Record Scored by Saltycroissant Beaten by Sergmann The Same Day; Corsair DDR5 Pushed to 13,530 MT/s

Last week's CENS record has officially been broken by a prominent overclocker, Saltycroissant, who has been at the top of the leaderboard many times. We thought it would be difficult to break the CENS DDR5 13,322 MT/s world record, but it just took a single week for another overclocker to break it with a much higher transfer speed. CENS did bring a bigger jump vs the previous world record holders, but Saltycroissant brought a similar one.

As seen on HWBot, Saltycroissant achieved 6703.9 MHz or 13,407 MT/s DDR5 speed using the Corsair Vengeance 24 GB module installed on the GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE. This shouldn't be surprising since Tachyon ICE is the most popular enthusiast-grade motherboard for memory overclocking and appears the most in the top 10 memory frequency results. With a nitrogen cooling setup, the overclocker crossed the 13,400 MT/s mark, bringing a solid 85 MT/s increase over the previous world record.

Slowly moving toward 7000, Thx to Corsair (DDR5 Vengeance) /Gigabyte (Z890 Tachyon ICE) / Splave (SplaveOne paste). And special thx to Hicookie, Sofos and Serg!!!

The CL timings are unchanged, and we have the same CL68-127-127-127-2 timings, but with a slightly higher UCLK: MCLK ratio of 3:196 than before. This is generally higher in such world records as achieving an incredibly high memory speed at low UCLK: MCLK ratios is currently unfeasible due to stability issues. But Sergmann was able to reduce it to 3:192 with his official new world record by pushing his DDR5 memory to an incredible 6765.2 MHz or 13,530 MT/s, the same day as spotted on HWBot.

The setup included the same Corsair Vengeance memory and the same Z890 Tachyon ICE board, but the CPU was Core Ultra 9 285K while Saltycroissant used the Core Ultra 7 265K. We are now convinced that achieving 14,000 MT/s is totally possible, but let's see who does it first.
