Quote:An overclocker known as Hocayu has set a new world record for DDR4 memory clock speeds. According to HWBOT, a home for overclocking competitions, Hocayu squeezed an effective 5,566MHz out of a G.Skill Trident Z RGB memory kit, along with some serious backup.

Hocayu set the record using a G.Skill Trident Z RGB memory kit paired with an Intel Core i7-8700K on an Asus ROG Maximus XI GENE motherboard. You can pick up most of those components yourself--it's not exactly hard to find a two-generations-old Intel processor or G.Skill memory--but the motherboard will prove a bit tricky because Asus has yet to reveal when it will release the ROG Maximus XI GENE.
