My comment has nothing to do with the article and everything to do with the "WTF were they thinking that that SATA connector design? Like WTF? I can't see how you can plug in the inside set of connectors! they would hit each other? I don't see how you can cable mode that to look nice? XD

Yes and no. Yes, data is steamed out at 6666 but other timings are almost identical. And they could not be changed cause of DRAM hardware. For example CL-18 @4000 == CL-31@6666.
For me this 6666 tells more about motherboard then DRAM.
When overclocking do they also measure FCC compliance?

Wait what? So I had the world record before ...

According to the record for 2023 and 2022 I did.

I had a 32 gig (16x2) kit of gskill running that fast years ago on am4 (5800x @ 5.4ghz all except core 7 @ 5.2) and i literally just gave the system to a friend like 2 months ago. Motherboard was an ROG Crosshair viii Formula. Before settling on that kit I had bought 3 others from different companies and returned 2 others from gskill because I wasn't happy with stability.

I didn't know it was anything special overclock wise.. I haven't checked anything beyond boost clock specs since I had an i7 5820k running all core of 5.2ghz (6 cores) up from like 3.7 boost it wasn't even hard to get stable. I've always been pretty good at overclocking but never chased anything specific beyond my own performance desires but maybe I should lol.

It was running at 6200mhz (3000x2 because it's ddr yo!) and had timings of CL18-18-18-36 up from the normal cl14-14-14-28 and the regular clocks were 2400mhz using the DOCP profile. I forget the voltage I had it running at but I wasn't using anything special for cooling.

Hell I have my 7950x3d pretty much topped out at 5.4ghz ccd0 and 5.9 ccd1 with ddr5 @ 6800mhz CL28-28-28-78 using a kit of Corsair 32x2 6400mhz ddr5 and a ROG x670e Extreme motherboard.

Id push it higher but there's no reason to because of the FCLK in Ryzen 7000. It's kinda a shame the 7000 series is so temperamental with memory because it's a 14 layer thick motherboard PCB which would be absolutely amazing for memory overclocking and I think it's at the top most layers and thickness on a consumer board. Mo layers = mo stability for OC... usually. The thing is like a a giant square hammer lol
