Tech News Flash on February 10th: Gigabyte Technology previously set a DDR5-10346 overclocking record using the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU on the B650E AORUS Tachyon platform, pushing G.Skill's Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-7600 memory to a high frequency of 10346.
However, just a few days later, Asus' internal overclocking expert SafeDisk, utilizing the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU on the ROG Crosshair X670E GENE motherboard, with G.Skill's Trident Z5 DDR5-7800 memory, overclocked to 10060MHz, surpassing Gigabyte's record.
During this overclocking process, only standard water cooling was used for the processor, the memory had only its built-in heat spreader, and the VRM heatsink on the motherboard was also removed.
After all preparations were made, SafeDisk, with dual-channel memory, adjusted the timings to 50-62-62-127-127, thereby achieving a DDR5-10600 overclocking record.
Furthermore, after overclocking, the system can be booted directly, and SafeDisk indicates that the entire OC process is very straightforward.
It's worth mentioning that the overclocker also stated that no BCLK adjustments were made.
It appears that AMD has the upper hand over Intel when it comes to overclocking dual-channel memory.
So far, Intel has achieved frequencies as high as DDR5-10382 on dual-channel setups, while AMD has reached DDR5-10600 on the AM5 platform, indicating that this is just the beginning.
