SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25, 2019 — MICRON INSIGHT — Ballistix, Micron’s global brand of high-performance gaming memory, has set a new overclocking world record for the fastest DDR4 memory frequency at 6024MT/s. Leveraging performance-tuned Micron die and the innovation behind the new Ballistix® Elite 4000 memory, the ASUS® motherboard R&D team set the record using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling and the following system setup:

- Ballistix Elite DDR4 4000 8GB memory
“We’re thrilled to have partnered with Ballistix to achieve this new world record,” said Albert Chang, general manager of the motherboard BU for ASUS. “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.”
