In a press release, T-Force Gaming, Teamgroup’s sister brand, confirmed that it has developed the first consumer DDR5 memory modules with overclocking support. The news about DDR5 is heating up as we approach the launch of the first generation platforms from Intel and AMD that will support DDR5 memory modules later this year.
T-Force Gaming develops DDR5 memory modules with overclocking support, voltages can reach more than 2.6 V
T-Force has confirmed that, after completing the validation of the standard DDR5 U-DIMM and SO-DIMMs, it is now focused on the conventional consumer desktop platform. The company has now confirmed the development of DDR5 memory modules with overclocking support. According to T-Force, they sent the first samples to major motherboard partners, such as Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock and ASUS for validation on their next products.
T-Force also claims that DDR5 memory has a lot more room for voltage adjustment when it comes to overclocking support. This is mainly due to the updated power management ICs (PMIC) that allow voltages above 2.6 V. It is also detailed that the existing DDR4 memory modules handle their voltage conversion across the motherboard, but this changes with the DDR5. The components required for voltage conversion are now transferred to the DIMM itself, reducing voltage wear and noise generation while providing more space for overclocking.
The following is the press release from T-Force:
Press release – TEAMGROUP has been vigorously working on the development of next generation DDR5 memories. After completing the validation tests for DDR5 U-DIMM and standard SO-DIMM products in collaboration with leading motherboard manufacturers, TEAMGROUP is announcing an exciting discovery today: its T-FORCE brand has successfully created the overclocked DDR5 memory . Samples were sent immediately to ASUS, ASRock, MSI and GIGABYTE for collaborative testing of their overclocking capabilities. Consumers can expect TEAMGROUP products to be fully compatible with motherboards from the top four manufacturers when the DDR5 generation arrives.
The DDR5 overclocking memory has more space for voltage adjustment, due to its updated power management IC. This PMIC can support high frequency overclocking with voltage above 2.6V. In previous generations, the voltage conversion was controlled by the motherboard. With DDR5, the components were moved to memory, allowing the module to handle voltage conversion, which not only reduces voltage wear, but also reduces noise generation. This allows for significantly more overclocking space compared to the past and more powerful computing processing.
T-FORCE will continue to advance and develop DDR5 memory for various applications. The strong momentum you built with your brand and technology during the DDR4 era will be carried into the future as you continue to explore the limits of DDR5 overclocking, achieving performances that eclipse previous generations and increase the reliability of your product applications. During this transitional DRAM period, T-FORCE is an industry leader, planning long-term future development and providing the most conventional DDR5 solutions.
We can definitely expect some insane numbers of overclockers running DDR5 memory and we expect LN2 users to exceed the 10 GHz limit, considering that 6666.6 MHz has already been achieved with DDR4 memory.
