HyperX, a division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced that GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd., overclocked HyperX memory to an astounding frequency of 4620MHz, the fastest memory speed in the world. The previous world record was also achieved in partnership with GIGABYTE and HyperX during Computex 2014. On June 30, GIGABYTE overclockers "HiCookie" and "Sofos1990" achieved the world's fastest memory frequency using one 4GB HyperX Predator 2933MHz DDR3 module (not yet available) on GIGABYTE's Z97-SOC FORCE LN2 motherboard. The true, live frequency was accurately read via oscilloscope, monitored by an official HWBOT representative, and then submitted on HWBOT.org.



Starting this month, HyperX will begin looking for competitors for an extreme overclocking competition. Ten finalists representing Latin America, Asia, Europe and North America will ultimately compete in the HyperX OC Takeover (HOT) World Finals to be held during International CES 2015.
