New DDR4 record on the AMD Ryzen platform: DDR4-4079,2 MHz

There are people who are not satisfied with what is average. They are the ones who want to get the most out of their hardware, want to break records, be it a 3DMark score or a processor clock.

Now we can witness the birth of a new DDR4 record. Australian overclocker "newlife" broke the highest memory clock on the Ryzen platform. It is true that the result required some "cheating", as during the test the clock signal of the Ryzen 5 1400 CPU used for the test was reduced to 800 MHz.

AMD's Ryzen platform has received a lot of criticism since its release - in addition to praise, of course - but AMD is not sitting idly by either. The AGESA update series improved AMD's gaming experience and DDR4 memory support, so it is suspicious that at the time of the platform's release, it was not yet possible to reach the clock speed mentioned in the title. But now it is. “newlife” used an 8 GB G.Skill Trident Z E-die memory kit, which factory runs at a frequency of 3600 MHz (F4-3600C17-4GTZ) with timings 18-20-20-58-93-1. The memory module in the GIGABYTE AORUS AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard (F4 BIOS) reached the clock signal of 4079,2 MHz.
