Unprecedented Sweep of Top Three Global DDR5 Records
In a stunning display of engineering excellence, the Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE now holds the top three DDR5 frequency world records. The achievements resulted from collaboration between legendary overclocker HiCookie and elite overclockers including Sergmann, demonstrating unparalleled consistency at competitive overclocking’s highest levels.
The motherboard was engineered exclusively for extreme overclocking enthusiasts who demand absolute performance. Its advanced all-digital power design provides the clean, stable power delivery essential for record-breaking speeds, while the comprehensive overclocking toolkit includes convenient shortcut keys, toggle switches, and voltage detection functions.
For PC overclocking enthusiasts, this sweep represents a pivotal moment. Holding all three top positions simultaneously validates the Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE’s engineering superiority over competitors. Every aspect has been optimized for extreme performance scenarios—from power delivery architecture to physical layout.
The DDR5-13010 MT/s achievement marks a significant milestone in memory performance evolution. Previous records hovered around the 12,000-13,000 MT/s range, making Sergmann’s breakthrough past 13,000 MT/s a psychological and technical barrier similar to breaking the four-minute mile in athletics.
GIGABYTE’s AORUS TACHYON series has built a reputation as the go-to platform for world-record attempts. The “ICE” variant adds enhanced cooling considerations crucial for extreme overclocking sessions that use liquid nitrogen to achieve sub-zero temperatures required for pushing DDR5 modules beyond manufacturer specifications.
The verification through HWBot ensures legitimacy in the competitive overclocking community, where every submission undergoes scrutiny. Having all three top positions validated adds credibility to GIGABYTE’s platform capabilities rather than attributing success to lucky silicon lottery wins.
Intel’s Core Ultra processors paired with Z890 chipset support provide the foundation, but the motherboard’s execution determines success at these extreme frequencies. The TACHYON ICE’s memory trace layout, power delivery consistency, and BIOS optimizations enable overclockers to extract maximum performance reliably.
This achievement positions GIGABYTE at the forefront of enthusiast-grade motherboard development, appealing to both professional overclockers chasing records and extreme PC builders seeking bragging rights with daily-use systems pushed beyond conventional limits.
