Kingston HyperX Predator memory is pushed to 5 902MHz on an MSI motherboard
They carry a Kingston HyperX Predator RAM memory up to 5 902MHz on an MSI motherboard and helping themselves with liquid nitrogen.
Overclocking is an increasingly common practice in the hardware world. Usually users do a moderate overclocking hardware, but there are those who take it further. Extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen or dry ice is a practice reserved for a few, but very important to analyze the quality of certain products. Kovan Yang has managed to bring a kit Kingston HyperX Predator at 5MHz on an MSI motherboard.
Specifically, it has used an 8GB DDR4 kit, Kingston HyperX Predator, managing to reach 5MHz. Latencies have been adjusted quite a bit, operating at CL902-31-63-63-63. Obviously, for this practice, we do not need very tight latencies. To reach these frequencies, a liquid nitrogen system had to be used to control temperatures.

Regarding the rest of the hardware, an Intel Core i9-9900K processor has been used with only two active cores and at a really low frequency. It was not necessary much more for this case, since the record was sought in the RAM, not in the processor. As a motherboard an MSI MPG Z390I Gaming Edge AC has been used.
It was not intended to bring these RAMs as close as possible to the frequencies of DDR5 modules. The idea was to show the quality and stability of the motherboard in overclocking. Note that the motherboard is micro-ATX, which is quite curious, since much larger plates are normally used. Of course, we can also see the quality of Kingston's RAM modules.
We have a little below the record of 'Toppc' that a G.Skill Trident Z Royal has, reaching 5 886MHz. OGS moves to third place with Crucial Ballistix Elite, which reached 5MHz.
