HyperX has long devoted to the overclocking
communities and achieved the memory overclocking world record back in June. GIGABYTE overclockers
“HiCookie” and “Sofos1990” achieved the world’s fastest memory frequency of 4620MHz by using one 4GB HyperX Predator 2933MHz DDR3 module
(not yet available) on GIGABYTE’s Z97-SOC FORCE LN2 motherboard. The true, live
frequency was accurately read via oscilloscope, monitored by an official HWBOT
representative, and then submitted on HWBOT.org. Overclockers who want to see the world
record can view the entire process on video here and here.
