G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 Hits Record of 4004 MHz Memory Speed

DDR4 is one of the major advancements announced yesterday which will benefit computer systems in many years to come. Along with some benefits, it also starts a new competition of overclocking among professional overclockers and hardware companies. DDR3 memory had pretty reached its ceiling in terms of overclocking. Only a day after its announcement, G.Skill reveals that their Ripjaws 4 memory kit has set a new record by hitting 4004 GHz memory clock.

G.Skill’s in-house overclocker “Shamino” took their new Ripjaws 4 memory to these speeds using LN2 cooling. Other components used in this record setting run include ASUS ROG Rampage V Extreme motherboard and Core i7-5930K. He used only one 4GB stick from Ripjaws 4 2133 MHz memory kit. It comes with 15-15-15 timings but in order to achieve 4004 MHz, the timings were loosened to 17-25-29. G.Skill has not revealed the voltage used to achieve these clocks but its surely above the stock 1.2v that DDR4 kits come with.
