You might have heard of main memory overclocked to give a little boost to your memory such as 10-15% over the maximum limit allowed, currently the DDR3 default speed is 1600MHz and many manufacturers offer a speed boost up to 2400MHZ and few have gone higher than that. But G. Skill has totally changed this boosting stuff and now you are simply getting the double speed.
The world fastest memory was introduced by G. Skill which is currently the record holder in the computer memory speed.
The Trident X series reached a mind blowing speed of 3900MHz on a DDR3 main memory
On 13th November 2012, TridentX was announced officially the world’s fastest RAM
This record was initially attempted using the Intel’s Core i7 3770K CPU using Ivy Bridge installed on a GIGABYTE Z77X-UD4H motherboard and dual channel 8GB DDR3 SDRAM installed, which last at boosting of 3354MHz. Later attempts using a AMD platform (Processor: AMD A8-3870K Llano APU, Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-A75-UD4H, Memory: 4GB RAM) helped reach the world record speed. So the final verdict was the clockspeed reaching 1950MHz which is actually doubling the DDR3 speed limit. In September 2012, they managed to reach the top 10 records but it was still less than 3000 mark, so this new benchmark is hard to break in near future. Which is surprisingly the highest speed ever witnessed by a gamer and the record holder in the memory industry. You can now insanely over-clock your main memory through your motherboard voltage settings to get the highest performance out of investment.
You should understand that G.Skill is relatively new in the memory manufacturing and there are giants like Kingston and Corsair which are currently dominating the market, this force them to keep their prices down even with the fastest speeds ever reached. So this is great news for budget minded gamers who seek a fast speed memory for powering the video games.
Simply a Good News For All Fellow Gamers Out there!
For all those gamers who seek a new gaming PC build, they should wait a little until the record holder RAM hits the market and use these memory stick to power their gaming monster. This achievement will not just force other manufacturers to lower down their prices but also encourage them to compete in the speed race and come up with RAMs that can be over-clocked at higher frequencies.
These facts make G. Skill TridentX as the best memory for overclockers.
