G.SKILL breaks the DDR4 frequency world record at DDR4-5500MHz by Toppc, a Taiwanese professional extreme overclocker. The record-breaking G.SKILL DDR4 memory was built using high-quality Samsung NAND chips. The record was set using an Intel Core X-Series processor and the MSI X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC motherboard. It was also a similar time last year, a week before Computex 2016, when Toppc broke the DDR4-5000MHz barrier with G.SKILL DDR4 memory and a MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC motherboard. This year he broke his own record and set it a notch higher to 5.5GHz using extreme cooling methodologies using liquid nitrogen.

G.SKILL continues to prove itself to be the leader in high-frequency and overclockable memory modules. G.SKILL VP Tequilla Huang released a statement regarding the new world record set by G.SKILL memory.
“DDR4 5.5GHz has been our next target after we achieved DDR4 5GHz last year. We are extremely excited to finally make it happen together with Samsung components, MSI X299 motherboard, and Intel Core X-series processor. We are seeing amazing overclocking potential for these newly released hardware and we believe that more overclocking benchmark records will be achieved very soon by professional overclockers worldwide." – Tequila Huang, Corporate Vice President, G.SKILL International
