Following recent release of Intel's new Haswell-E HEDT platform with support for DDR4 memory, G.Skill has announced that its new Ripjaws 4 DDR4 memory modules managed to hit 4004MHz in an LN2 overclocking venture on ASUS' X99 Rampage V Extreme motherboard and Intel Core i7-5930K CPU.


According to G.Skill, over the past few months, the company has been focusing hard on developing the fastest DDR4 memory and test the performance boundary of the latest Intel X99 platform and judging by the CPU-Z validation screenshot, it appears that it was worth it as hitting 4004MHz was definitely not an easy task.

As noted, the 4004MHz frequency was achieved by none other than Shamino on ASUS' Republic of Gamers Rampage V Extreme motherboard, Intel Core i7-5930K CPU and single 4GB DDR4 Ripjaws 4 module running at 4004MHz at 17-25-29-50 latency.




We are quite sure that there will be even higher records once overclockers get familiar with kinks and tweaks of Intel's new X99 Express chipset based motherboards and as we get new DDR4 modules.
