Ballistix, the gaming brand of Micron memory, has set a new overclocking world record for the fastest DDR4 memory frequency with a speed of 6024MT/s. Using performance-tuned Micron die on the new Ballistix Elite 4000 memory, the ASUSĀ® motherboard R&D team set the record using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling and the following system setup:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor
ASUS X570 ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT motherboard
Ballistix Elite DDR4 4000 8GB memory

"We're thrilled to have partnered with Ballistix to achieve this new world record, both overclocking teams worked tirelessly to finetune BIOS settings on our newly-released ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT board to unleash the capabilities of the Micron die. Setting the new world record of 6024MT/s with Ballistix Elite 4000 memory on our new ROG AMD X570 motherboard is a powerful demonstration of the engineering excellence ASUS ROG and Micron bring to the gaming ecosystem."

Albert Chang, general manager of the motherboard BU for ASUS.

The record-breaking frequency is posted on HWBOT.


Teresa Kelley, vice president and general manager of Micron Consumer Products Group stated:

"Ballistix memory has set three overclocking world records in the span of five months, which is a testament to our world-class Micron engineering and expertise. We are committed to providing gamers and enthusiasts with high-performance memory that delivers maximum system capability and a rich experience, and our Ballistix memory is evidence of that."
