Just weeks after the 13,000 MT/s DDR5 memory speed barrier was first broken, a new world record has been established. According to a verified submission on HWBot, Canadian professional overclocker saltycroissant has achieved an astounding 6576.8 MHz memory frequency — effectively 13,153 MT/s, setting a new global benchmark for DDR5 performance.
The record-breaking result was achieved using a 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory module on a Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, paired with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor. The setup was fine-tuned to push memory performance to its absolute limits, with the overclocker focusing primarily on memory timing optimization and stability under extreme cooling conditions.
The single 24 GB DIMM used originated from Corsair’s 48 GB CMK48GX5M2X8000C38 dual-channel kit, which is factory-rated for DDR5-8000 speeds with CL38 timings. For the record attempt, the memory operated with 68-127-127-127 CR2T timings and a 3:194 ratio, cooled using liquid nitrogen (LN2) to ensure thermal stability and prevent throttling at ultra-high frequencies.
While the exact memory voltage remains undisclosed, some system parameters were shared. The P-cores of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K were clocked at 2034.06 MHz (20× multiplier with a 101.7 MHz bus speed), while the E-cores ran at 1627.25 MHz. The CPU voltage was set at 0.723 volts, and the chip was maintained at a sub-ambient temperature of 5°C to enhance consistency during the benchmark.
This achievement solidifies Corsair’s Vengeance DDR5 lineup as one of the most capable and overclocking-friendly memory kits on the market. The result also demonstrates the continued evolution of DDR5 technology and the limits of modern enthusiast hardware.
As the DDR5 overclocking race intensifies, it seems only a matter of time before even more extreme frequencies are reached. For now, congratulations to saltycroissant for claiming the world’s top spot and pushing DDR5 memory performance into uncharted territory.
