Asus crosshair viii impact and ryzen 3000 reach 5,856 ghz ddr4

The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact, which has yet to be released, paired with an AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU, has just hit the highest DDR4 memory frequency record on the X570 platform. The registration has been validated by HWBOT and places AMD's Ryzen and X570 platform in the hall of fame at a frequency of 5, 856 GHz.

The overclocking record was reached by the Taiwanese “Bianbao”, who used the unprecedented ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor that was 'underclocked' at 2.2 GHz, and Ripjaws V memory (DDR4- 3200 MHz CL16) from G.Skill. Other equipment specs show a GALAX GeForce GT 710 (Fish) and LN2 cooling that is required for intense overclocking.

With this configuration, Bianbao achieved an impressive effective overclocking frequency of 5856 MHz (2928.4 MHz) in the memory kit. Memory times were set to 30-27-27-27-58-127-1 (tCAS-tRC-tRP-tRAS-tCS-tCR). All these tests ended up placing this record in 3rd place in the HWBOT hall of fame. The register itself is the highest DDR4 memory frequency reached on an X570 board and only a few clocks behind the highest frequency registers on any platform at 2943.2 (5886 MHz effective) by Toppc and 2950.7 (5901.4 MHz effective) by Kovan Yang.

On top of the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII, the motherboard will come in a D-ATX form factor and has a pretty cool design methodology and component list. We are facing an 8 + 2 VRM configuration that uses TDA21472 power stages. Each stage is capable of delivering about 70 Amps of power to AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPUs. The standout feature of the motherboard is the Dual DIMM design, making it an overclocking beast.
