Extreme overclocker Kovan Yang pushes Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 memory to an unprecedented 12,108 MT/s using liquid nitrogen cooling, setting a new world record. The achievement comes amid a wave of DDR5-12000+ breakthroughs from other overclockers using Intel's latest platform.

Extreme overclocker Kovan Yang set a new world record for DDR5 memory speeds, cranking Kingston's Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM modules past 12,100 MT/s. Yang made this happen with an MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard and an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor.

Yang's setup hit DDR5-12108 speeds using 24GB Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5-8400 CUDIMMs, as confirmed on HWBot. This milestone dropped alongside other notable achievements in the DDR5 scene, like multiple overclockers using G.Skill's Trident Z5 memory modules to break the DDR5-12000 barrier.

These other overclocking champs also rocked similar setups, featuring Intel Core Ultra 9 285K chips and Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboards. They all had to rely on liquid nitrogen cooling to keep things stable at these ultra-fast speeds.

These breakthroughs come just as Intel rolled out its Core Ultra 200S processors and Z890 motherboards for retail customers. Even though these platforms officially top out at DDR5-6400 speeds with CUDIMMs right out of the box, brands like G.Skill, Asgard, and TeamGroup have released memory kits that can hit DDR5-9600 when paired with Z890 boards.

Getting these ultra-fast speeds wasn't easy. Overclockers had to tinker with voltage settings and memory timings using advanced motherboard tools. Exotic cooling setups like liquid nitrogen were necessary to keep the temps under control with all that power running through the system.
