A new record for DDR4 RAM overclocking has been set. It was achieved on the Crucial Ballistix Max bones, which managed to spin to dizzying speeds exceeding the “modest” 7000 MHz! This is not the first breakthrough memory record from Crucial. Professional overlockers very often use Ballistix bones. Suffice it to mention that the previous world record, which belonged to a Taiwanese user with the nickname Bianbao XE, was also obtained on the Crucial Ballistix Max. It has been around for three months until now. The Chinese baby-J overlocker significantly surpassed the last record, which was truly devilish 6666, 6 MHz. In both cases, the Ryzen series APU 4000 G was used.

A new record has been set in RAM overclocking that broke the magic barrier 7000 MHz. Was beaten on a single 16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Max DDR bone – 4000.

New record for DDR4 RAM overclocking on AMD Renoir

Overclocker baby-J set a new record for DDR4 overclocking at 7004, 2 MHz with latency 22 – 26 – 26 – 46 – 127 (1T). The screenshot on the HWBot website even shows 7006, 4 MHz, but the lower one, officially confirmed by CPU-Z, was officially recognized. The result was achieved on a single 16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Max DDR4 memory module – 4000, based on Micron B-Die bones. You didn’t have to wait for DDR5 memory to see such an absurdly high clock speed as without a doubt 7000 MHz.

Once again the record was broken on the Ryzen series APU 4000 G, famous for its good memory controller, based on architectures Zen 2 (CPU) and Vega (iGPU). Specifically, we’re talking about the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650 G model, which was, of course, overclocked (to almost 4.2 GHz). The overlocker used the MSI MEG B motherboard 550 Unify-X with a very powerful power section to break the record. It was designed specifically for professional CPU and memory overclocking. And, as you can see in the presented example, it worked flawlessly in extreme conditions. The new record holder cooled the components with liquid nitrogen (LN2).
