Thread: Kingston separates memory-velocity record

Memory-manufacturer Kingston determined to insert on a small spectacle for the crowds when hanging out at GamesCom previous week. With the assist of 2 world-renowned overclockers and a small liquid-nitrogen, the team handled to push a memory-kit to 3,068MHz, separating the globe frequency record.


The feat was accomplished utilizing a 2GB kit of Kingston's HyperX 2,333MHz DDRiii random access memory on a GB P55 CPU board with an Intel Core i7 870 central processing unit. Despite the amazing velocity, the memory was maintained at relatively tight timings of 8-11-8-31, though it needed a staggering 1.88V to keep stable function.




Of course, such high velocities demand few very cooling. Utilizing liberal quantity of liquid nitrogen, the overclockers handled to cool the central processing unit to -110°C and the storage to slightly between -80°C and -120°C. Understandably, this needed few custom hardware, which added a bright-pink foam pot for the memory.


The men later the magic were overclocking dominates Benjamin Bioux and Jean-Baptiste Gerard. according to Gerard, "we are absolutely excited direct the velocity of this instance. We companion this example had a lot of possibility, but being capable to push it that long and break the enter for storage frequent still surprised me".


Pictures of the event - which attracted an effective crowd - are present from Kingston's Flickr stream, while complete informations of the circumstances utilized can be got in marmott's write-up.
