As you can see from perusing the above table, G.SKILL's TridentX range are the RAM chips of choice for overclocking record breakers. The official product page for this RAM boats that it has the "highest DDR3 speed world record at DDR3 4404MHz". It further claims that "TridentX will push your system to the limit that was once unimaginable," and it does seem to have been a key component in these record breaking systems.
Other popular component choices in the systems above are the Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force and Asus Rampage IV Black Edition motherboards. Also it's great to see the HEXUS budget favourite Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258 processor in the record books, helping overclocker 'Sofos1990' achieve 4985.52 pps in HWBOT Prime.
