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.
