MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM Achieves DDR4 4605MHz

btarunr · Aug 5, 2015

MSI's brand new Z170 based motherboard, the MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION, just showed off its outstanding overclocking performance in dual-channel DDR4 memory by achieving world's highest DDR4 Memory Frequency at a staggering 4605MHz clock speed. Indicating just how effective MSI's new DDR4 BOOST technology is in optimizing memory performance on Intel's latest Z170 based motherboards. This achievement shows that the new Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION not only pushes the boundaries of single-channel memory speed but also performs amazingly in dual-channel memory.

The new MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION offers an arsenal of new features and improvements as well as technical ingenuity. This exceptional motherboard features the all new OC Dashboard, an independent panel for overclockers to tune settings. The new DDR4 Boost uses fully isolated circuitry to ensure memory signals stay pure for maximum performance and stability. Reinforced PCI slots with Steel Armor are forged to support the heaviest graphics cards in multi GPU setups.

This board is the best looking one in the market. Also looks so clean. Love it.

I love the direction that MSI is going, I think I'll probably sell my z87 setup and jump on the z170 bandwagon. I know for sure though that my next HEDT purchase, I'm going back to MSI if they release a board in this design.

That's the highest frequency for dual channel DDR4, meanwhile this is the highest DDR4 frequency (4800 Mhz) :

Asus made big fuss about there special socket for 2011-3, but it's been MSI pushing DDR4 speeds. I'm going to have to read up on there memory boost feature. Am I right in thinking that nearly all the board makers are using the same "special socket" or similar socket anyway?

That's a really nice looking board. I kinda wish z170 supported haswell.

Hey, would you look at that! OC Formula and G.Skill set a new one!

~4900MHz

Fame's already gone

EarthDog · Aug 6, 2015

47xx mhz but yeah. Or was that beat already?

So is there any benefit to these speeds in real world scenarios? Obviously that's not the point in overclocking, I'm just curios.
