Overclocked Memory Speed Record: A Genuine Achievement
It's often easy to dismiss overclocked memory records as niche, but this one stands out due to the scale involved. The overclocker, known as Phantom, achieved an impressive 8,400 MT/s with 256 GB of RDIMMs, utilizing a powerful Threadripper Pro 9985WX. This setup is significant as it fully utilized all eight memory channels, a departure from typical single-channel records. Notably, achieving such high speeds with RDIMMs, which prioritize stability over outright speed, adds to the accomplishment. Despite the impressive numbers, one must consider the latency: 38-50-50-62 is remarkably low for this configuration. While some sacrifices in stability might be expected, this record could lead to practical all-day usability with minor adjustments. Overall, this achievement is a testament to the dedication required for such feats in memory overclocking.
