Overclocker hits DDR5-12054 on pure air cooling — DDR5-8000 RAM maxed out without exotic cooling

Trident Z5.

Earlier this morning, G.Skill shared that its RAM had again been used to reach world record-breaking frequencies while specifically air-cooled by "saltycroissant," a Canadian overclocker. Another overclocker, "speed.fastest," achieved a slightly lower DDR5-12052 with air cooling.

Both overclockers used G.Skill's high-performance Trident ZS DDR5-8000 48GB (2x24GB) CL38 (F5-8000J3848F24GX20-TZ5K) memory to achieve the new memory overclocking records. The advertised memory kit is rated for DDR5-8000 CL38-48-48-128 at 1.35V, and the fact that the overclockers pushed it by over 50% — particularly considering the feats didn't involve exotic cooling, such as liquid nitrogen or dry ice.
