On November 22nd, Corsair set the world record for DDR3 clock frequency at 3467 MHz using its Dominator GTX6. On December 3rd, Kingston broke that world record again at 3600 MHz, using a Kingston HyperX 1T memory stick.
Romanian overclocker Matose used an AMD FX-8150 processor and Asus ROG Crosshair V Formula motherboard to reach these extreme speeds with help from liquid nitrogen on both CPU and memory. The memory speed was overclocked by nearly twice the reference speed of DDR3 1866.
