G.Skill TridentX DDR3 Memory Overclocked to 3,900 MHz

G.Skill claims that its TridentX Memory is now officially the world's fastest RAM.
The note comes courtesy of two overclockers who pushed the memory to 3,354 MHz and shortly thereafter to 3,900 MHz.
Christian Ney, who posted the world record on HWBot, used a 4 GB TridentX module with CL14 14-14-36 2T timings on a Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H motherboard running AMD's A8-3870K Llano processor. Ney said that he used liquid nitrogen for cooling and recorded a 120 degrees Celsius temperature under full load.

Well, most solder starts to melt around 180C, so I can't imagine anything past that.
I see what you did there. AMD's Fusion is now subzero.
Not really that high considering the speed. i think 2400MHz RAM sticks have CAS @ at around 11.
It's about testing the limits and pushing the boundaries.
I fkn hate people like you.
At 14-14-14-36 T2, it's still extremely low latency for system RAM with such a high frequency as 3.9GHz effective.
EDIT: For perspective on this, a timing of 14 at almost 4GHz effective is a little worse than a timing of 5.5 at effective 1.6GHz. 36 (in the same comparison) is about equal to 15.

You guys make me feel a lot less conservative!
