ADATA has achieved a 5 GHz DDR4 overclock on air cooling, achieving the highest frequency ever without liquid cooling. This is a major milestone for the memory industry and could lead to more overclocking records in the future.Overclocking is a term that refers to increasing the clock speed of a computer processor. This increases the power consumption and heat output, which can cause damage to computers. Read more in detail here: what does overclocking mean.
Without utilizing severe cooling techniques, ADATA was able to reach 5 GHz on an overclocked DDR4 RAM. G.Skill did it a little over two weeks ago, however they utilized liquid nitrogen instead of air cooling, which is what ADATA used to get to 5 GHz. ADATA is now the second memory card company to surpass the 5,000 MHz barrier.
Simon Chen founded ADATA Technology Co. Ltd., a Taiwanese storage and memory company, in May 2001. DRAM modules, USB drives, external hard drives, and memory cards in Secure Digital and CompactFlash formats are among their major products. Other ADATA products, such as solid-state drives and digital frames, are less well-known. By 2008, it had risen to become the world’s second-largest supplier of DRAM modules.
The utilization of air cooling in conjunction with these high speeds indicates that this field has progressed. Outside of attempting to break overclocking records or competing in similar contests, liquid nitrogen is practically impracticable. Surprisingly, ADATA isn’t the first company that springs to mind when we think of companies like these. It’s more common to see Corsair and G.Skill in the news for major accomplishments and speed records. Nonetheless, it’s encouraging to see these companies pushing hardware to new heights and always inventing. Embracing the overclocking scene to achieve such high frequencies necessitates the proper binning of premium memory chips. ADATA used their XPG Spectrix D41 RGB memory kit, which was equipped with hand-picked Samsung B-die chips in this case.

Despite these accomplishments, neither company is selling these 5,000 MHz RAM kits. It makes sense to some degree since it doesn’t actually help users who already have current memory kits, such as G.Skill’s DDR4-4700 kit. We’re looking forward to seeing whether firm is the first to mass-produce and sell DDR4-5000 memory kits.
