GIGABYTE Technology Co., Ltd. has once again pushed the boundaries of memory performance, officially setting a new DDR5 memory frequency world record on the competitive HWBOT platform. Using its flagship Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE motherboard, the company’s in-house overclocker, HiCookie, successfully achieved a blistering transfer rate of 13,034 MT/s (6517 MHz).
This incredible milestone not only surpasses the symbolic 13,000 MT/s barrier but also solidifies the Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE’s reputation as the ultimate platform for extreme memory tuning, with the motherboard now holding the top three global DDR5 frequency records.
The record-breaking system relied on a meticulous combination of cutting-edge hardware and extreme cooling:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE (specifically engineered for overclocking).
Processor: An Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, chosen for its phenomenal memory controller.
Memory: A single 24 GB Adata XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 module.
Cooling: Liquid Nitrogen (LN2), a standard requirement for stabilizing components at such extreme frequencies.
To achieve the massive 13,034 MT/s speed, HiCookie performed micro-level tuning, setting the memory to extremely tight timings of CL 68-127-127-127-2.
The Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE motherboard is a specialized product featuring an 18+1+2 Digital VRM design and a dedicated onboard Overclocking Kit (OC Kit). These features provide the clean, stable power delivery and granular control necessary for elite overclockers to achieve speeds nearly double the DDR5-6400 industry standard.
This achievement confirms GIGABYTE’s leading position in high-speed memory research and development, which ultimately trickles down to benefit mainstream PC users through enhanced stability and performance capabilities.
