MSI X299 Breaks DDR4 Memory Clock World Record: DDR4-5500!

One year ago, MSI’s in-house overclocker, Toppc, broke the DDR4 5GHz barrier using G.SKILL memory and the MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC motherboard. Today, 1 year later, he raises the bar once again and became the first ever to push DDR4 speeds to 5.5GHz under liquid nitrogen cooling using the new MSI X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC motherboard. With the MSI X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC, MSI’s most customizable high-performance Intel X299 based motherboard, Toppc was running G.Skill DDR4 memory with an unbelievable DDR4-SDRAM clock speed of 5500MHz. This world record shows MSI’s dominant position on performance for X299 by using MSI’s unique and patented DDR4 Boost technology. The MSI X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC is not only feature packed for gamers and great for case modding, it is also perfectly suited to deliver power for heavy gaming & overclocking sessions.
