G.SKILL Reaches DDR4 5189.2MHz and 12 Overclocking Records in 8 Benchmarks
G.SKILLis proud to announce that 12 overclocking records in 8 different benchmarks were broken during Computex week this year, including the world's fastest memory frequency world record at DDR4 5189.2 MHz.
Special thanks to the event sponsors Samsung, Intel, and NVIDIA, as well as the industry's leading performance motherboard vendors, including MSI, ASUS, EVGA, GIGABYTE, and ASRock, the G.SKILL 5th Annual OC World Record Stage brought together the world's most powerful PC hardware in one venue to demonstrate the bleeding edge limits of current technology. Over the course of the 5 days at Computex, multiple benchmarks records were pushed to the new extreme levels, using G.SKILL DDR4 memory built with Samsung ICs, Intel Core i7 processors, the latest NVIDIA GPU, and the newest Z170/X99 motherboards designed for extreme performance.
In addition to the most powerful computer hardware, G.SKILL 5th Annual OC World Record Stage featured the world's most skilled and reputable overclocking legends. Only with their sophisticated professional skills of BIOS tweaking, hardware modding, and temperature controlling via liquid nitrogen, the performance of each piece of hardware was able to unleash its maximum potential and achieved numerous world records within such a short period of time.

Probably used the new TridentZ DDR4 4500MHz CL16. That would be my guess.
But is that really that much achievement? At shops are available ram sticks with clocks over 4000MHz at stock so i'm not sure if overclocking a bit over 5000MHz is something so special. Can someone enlighten me? What were stock clocks of these overclocked sticks?

Insane speeds I remember when DDR 266 was the bees knees lol

Hi!
The problem is that in system usage (games and applications) this higher speeds not give you a real increase of performance... since the most important talking about performance is the latency.
Its just to records purposes.

It's already been mentioned but a also believe that breaking latency timings would be more of an achievement, especially for gaming where i suppose latency is far more important than 5000+Mhz speeds.
Give me some 4000+ @ 9-9-9-27 and then i'd be impressed.

People seem to think that higher latency numbers in bios automatically means more latency in the real world. This isn't the case. 2666MHz with CAS14 vs 4000MHz CAS19, the 4000MHz one is actually lower latency, because the latency numbers means how many clock cycles that given latency is, and with higher frequency, the clock cycles are smaller units of time. The real time CAS latency of 2666MHz CAS14 is 5.25 nanoseconds, whereas 4000MHz CAS19 is 4.75 nanoseconds. I don't know how people keep missing that. Constantly hearing "oh its got high latency, so its crap" even though frequency is through the roof to offset it and beat the lower frequency set with a smaller amount of clock cycles for their latencies.

Haha, you must be a young'in then.
I remember when 30-pin 60ns SIMMs were the bomb.
And also installing faster L2 cache chips on the motherboard.

Every single time there's a thread about high speed DDR4 you get the same nonsense from some people. As you say, there's this flawed belief that because the timings are high the memory is slow. When you're pushing such incredibly high clock speeds, it more than negates the slower timings.
