SafeDisk, the famous South Korean overclocker, has set a new RAM frequency record. However, while this is not an absolute record, it is a new barrier broken on the AM5 platform. 10600 MT/s is the new record to beat on this socket!
RAM pushed to 10600 MT/s on an AM5 platform!
In terms of configuration, the Korean overclocker used an AM5 motherboard coupled with a Ryzen 7 8700G APU . With this configuration, he was able to push his G.Skill Trident Z5 memory kit to 10600 MT/s. As a reminder, this kit (F5-7800J3646H16G) operates at 7800 MT/s with a CAS Latency of 36 and a factory voltage of 1.45V. During the operation, the clocker pushed its RAM to 10600 MT/s with the following timings: 50-62-62-127-127, while being able to boot on the OS. According to the clocker, this was an easy procedure.
As for the rest of the configuration, it’s simple: we found a Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard… However, during the procedure, the VRM heatsinks were removed, while the memory benefited from its original heatsinks. As for the CPU, a simple AIO Thermalright was at work!
Via Wccftech, we learn that this is not the first score to fall with such high AM5 frequencies. Shortly before SafeDisk, another score (10346 MT/s) fell on a Gigabyte B650E Tachyon. However, there’s a bug affecting the AGESA 1.1.0.2b microcode. Indeed, when the BCLK is touched, the memory frequency displayed may be higher than in reality. SafeDisk has confirmed this with an oscilloscope. So the Gigabyte score should be taken with a grain of salt.
