Dual-Channel DDR3 Reaches 3256 MHz

With Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs on the way, people who have got their hands on engineering samples are busy testing their limits, and the limits of memory. 

What we have here is a video where an anonymous overclocker pushed 16 GB of DDR3 memory (unknown brand) to DDR3-3256. 

He started the PC with the DDR3 at 3152 MHz (1567 MHz actual) and slowly worked his way up in Windows. 

Some may say that 3256 MHz isn't all that incredible, but they would be forgetting that multiple-module overclocking is quite a bit harder to do compared to single-module. 

The setup was made up of an ASUS Maximus V Gene motherboard and an engineering sample of the Intel Core i7-3770K CPU. 

Speaking of which, the processor itself got overclocked not long ago, attaining 6.616 GHz.
