MSI’s ‘B560 Memory Try It’ Overclocking Competition Ended Successfully

MSI hosted a DDR4 memory overclocking competition from July to August 2021. Over 100 entries received from 20+ countries*, with enthusiasts showing blistering fast memory frequencies to compete for the Optix MAG274QRF-QD, MAG CH130 X Gaming Chair, MPG CORELIQUID K360 cooler, and many more such exciting prizes!

The Intel 500 series chipset is the first time Intel has made RAM overclocking available on a B series motherboard, users can now enjoy improved performance, particularly an increase in FPS while gaming.

Furthermore, with the inclusion of MSI's exclusive "Memory Try It!" functionality in BIOS, tuning memory-related parameters is much easier, and there is no need to manually tweak all of the numbers like timings, voltages, etc. only to reach a higher frequency.

It's also the first time MSI has organized an amateur DDR4 memory overclocking competition. MSI OC lab is well known for breaking world records for CPU and memory frequencies, the vast bulk of MSI motherboards are designed to handle hardcore overclocking as well.

However, this time around MSI had restricted the use of extreme cooling solutions, to make the event more accessible for the masses. More consumers could enjoy the competition, all the while learning more about the capabilities of their DDR4 memory and the relationship between memory frequency and real-world performance.
