G.Skill Trident Z First to Achieve DDR4-5000 - A Frequency Record
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, announces the world's first DDR4 memory overclocking record to break past the mind-blowing 5GHz barrier, achieved with G.SKILL Trident Z Series DDR4 memory engineered with Samsung ICs and the MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC motherboard. With this achievement in the official record books, the world's top 7 memory frequency records are now dominated by G.SKILL memory.
Surpassing the 5GHz frequency speed barrier had been the ultimate aspiration of the memory overclocking community since the last year's launch of the Intel Skylake platform. This historic milestone is finally succeeded today by the renowned Taiwanese overclocking legend, Toppc, under liquid nitrogen cooling. "We are extremely excited to achieve this great milestone together with Samsung components and MSI motherboard," says Tequila Huang, Corporate Vice President and Director of R&D, G.SKILL International. "We will continually push hardware performance to the limits and provide enthusiasts with even more advanced products."
Validated by both HWBOT and CPU-Z, this record currently ranks as the world's #1 fastest memory speed record on HWBOT. For more information, please refer to the following links:

Much like we will celebrate the first ever flat 3second 1/4 mile run at a drag strip.
Those cars are not practical in any way, but we appreciate the engineering effort and what it took to get there.
why so much hate for an achievement?
:D
Much like MRI was developed for space research, but ended up being used in the healthcare industry and so many other technologies.
KERS came from F1 but ended up in commercial vehicles.
Special and general relativity were not meant for the GPS, yet we came to enjoy those benefits at the forefront of physics research, in our everyday lives.
Too much hate on tech sites sometimes and more times than not comes from ignorance or just not thinking before we type.
The lack of focus on extreme clocking, I feel, is a large part of our success. Our reviews don't focus on OC much, even, just small simple parts of reviews have OC metrics, because anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that OC is very sample-dependent, and hard to replicate for everyone.
Personally, I like that once again this news post shows G.Skill prowess in advanced IC screening, and also that MSI has a place in pushing the limits, with what would be called a "gaming" product. The speeds, having a record, whatever... meh. They'll be broken in due time.
