Just in the beginning of 2019, MSI's in-house overclocker, Toppc, pushes the DDR4 speeds to 5.6GHz, setting another barrier using Kingston memory and the MSI Z390I GAMING EDGE AC motherboard by liq... MSI Breaks DDR4 World Record at 5608 MHz Using Z390I Gaming Edge AC
Well............................ Hold my Bitcoins, I can get 5610 ;-) Serious note, I don't own any bitcoins.
"Undoubtedly, this is a revolutionary breakthrough for the Intel 9th generation processors for the first time. This world record not only shows MSI's dominant position on performance for Intel 9th generation processors by using MSI MPG Z390I GAMING EDGE AC and MSI's unique and patented DDR4 Boost technology, but also reveals team-up power with Kingston DDR4 memory." This is a bunch of hogwash from MSI. How is OC'ing 2 cores on LN2 a "revolutionary breakthrough" or show MSI is in a dominant position. Im ready for vendors to stop piggybacking on LN2 OC results as they really have very little application to air/water cooling 99.9999% of the rest of the world uses.
They didn't overclock the cores, only the memory. The cores are reduced to 2 and their clocked to just 816 Mhz, so they underclocked them. This has 0 application for anything, I know just using LN2 does that but having no processing power just makes it even worse.
5600C31 isn't super impressive but isn't too bad either. Latency is based on both frequency and CL. Are you running 3600C7 or something to be 1/3 of it? I don't know such stick exists.
quick mafphs, cl 10/(real frequency)1200 x 1000 =8.33ns cl 31/2800mhz x 1000=11.07ns the "5600mhz" kit has about 33% more latency.
