James Trevaskis and G.Skill break the memory frequency world record with 4404 MHz

Since the launch of Z87 and Haswell there has been a big focus on memory clocking. We first saw memory frequency taken past the 4000 MHz mark by Gigabyte pre-launch. The record then bounced back and forward between Gigabyte, ASROCK and ASUS over the the last few months.

I decided to give the record a crack with the petite ASUS Maximus 6 Impact board and GSKILL 3000 MHz MFR kit and came up with some good numbers


Setup
ASUS Maximus 6 Impact
GSKILL 3000 MHz TridentX
Intel 4770K CPU
Corsair AX1200
Kingpincooling ram heatspreaders from Ney Pro and custom dominance copper pot
Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

The end result was a validated clock of 4404 MHz, smashing the current world record by over 100 MHz. Normally ram world records are decided by 5-10 MHz so this was a big achievement by the pint sized Impact.

Most overclocking records are respected within the OC community but ignored in the wider tech community, however this record gained widespread attention from the tech world. Here is a link to the ASUS ROG post about the record http://rog.asus.com/258552013/overclocking/4404mhz-ddr3-world-record/

Furthermore I was able to run SuperPI 1M, a very light stability test, past the current world record at around ~4300MHz.

Below are links to some of the Tech media that covered the record.
