For the first time ever, G.Skill have managed to break the 5GHz barrier on a dual-channel Memory kit under only air cooling. However, you’ll have to wait a little longer for retail kits at these blisteringly fast speeds.

No matter your memory speed, you’ll need a quality mobo. Here are the best gaming motherboards of 2018.

Only shortly after 5GHz became an achievable goal for modern CPUs on the reg, G.Skill have achieved similarly lofty clockspeeds on a kit of their dual-channel DDR4 memory.

5GHz clockspeeds have long been the realm of liquid nitrogen, which often causes unwanted results - such as near-imminent component death. Also, most overclocking scores rely on only single channel memory.
