DDR4 Memory Clock Reaches New High GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion rocks!

Yes, the GIGABYTE X99-SOC Champion is really making a strong debut. With it’s unique design, the new board is already building itself quite the resume. A few weeks ago, a Secret OC session took place at the GIGABYTE HQ where a total of 9 World Records, 22 Global Firsts and 25 Hardware Firsts were accomplished by 7 of the world’s finest overclockers, all using the X99-SOC Champion. Within these achievements, an impressive performance was submitted by HiCookie with the Highest DDR4 Memory Clock at 4014.6 MHz!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, our famous overclocker just can’t be stopped! Yesterday, HiCookie with the help of Jake and Sofos1990 managed to push this limit to an incredible 4184MHz using Corsair’s Dominator Platinum memory modules.  Now THAT’s a performance!
