It was just yesterday that ADATA have sent out a press release, letting the world know they've cracked the 4 GHz barrier with their latest high-end memory. Meanwhile G.Skill has responded by sending out a PR themselves announcing they've managed to push their memory to 4062MHz, while using air cooling.

Every year before Computex tension is rising in the memory community. All the vendors and manufacturers from Asia are pushing hard to promote their upcoming products as best as possible and one part of that is announcing that records have been broken with their hardware.

In collaboration with HKEPC, G.Skill are showing that their new DDR4 Ripjaws memory can run up to 4062MHz air cooled. If you check the video as well as the screenshots, you can see that the memory is running single channel. The reason is, that only running one module makes it much more likely to hit higher frequencies, since the CPUs memory controller is not being stressed that much.

Checking the Screenshots a little bit more in detail, we see that the timings had to be set very loose - apparently. The single module is acutally running at 2031 MHz and CL19-25-25-63 with a tRFC cycle time of 1023 clocks. Especially the tRFC time is very loose.

Since this frequency has been reached using aircooling we're curious to see what the overclocker on G.Skills world record stage at Computex will do using liquid nitrogen to squeeze even the last MHz out of the chips.
