G.SKILL and ASUS Set New World Record with DDR5-12772 Overclocking Achievement

April 14, 2025 — Renowned high-performance memory and gaming gear manufacturer G.SKILL has once again redefined the limits of DDR5 memory speed. Partnering with ASUS, G.SKILL announced a groundbreaking DDR5-12772 overclocking world record, achieved by elite overclocker Seby using a single 24GB stick from the Trident Z5 series.

The feat was accomplished on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard and powered by the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K processor. With the aid of liquid nitrogen cooling and expert tuning, Seby pushed the memory far beyond standard operating frequencies, securing a spot at the top of both HWBOT and CPU-Z validation databases.

Unlocking the True Potential of Next-Gen Hardware

This latest achievement not only marks a milestone for G.SKILL’s Trident Z5 DDR5 memory, but also demonstrates the raw overclocking power of ASUS’ ROG platform and Intel’s newest high-performance CPUs. Reaching DDR5-12772 showcases the extreme headroom available on current-generation hardware and sets a new bar for the enthusiast community.

Seby, the 2023 G.SKILL OC World Cup Champion, continues to dominate the overclocking scene with his precision and technical mastery. His contribution underscores the potential of combining top-tier hardware with elite expertise.

G.SKILL’s Product Marketing Head, Frank Hung, commented,"We are proud to see the G.SKILL Trident Z5 series once again break world records. This accomplishment reflects our relentless pursuit of performance and the strong collaboration we’ve built with Intel and ASUS over the years."
