In an exciting development for the realm of high-performance computing, Gigabyte’s renowned overclocker, Hicookie, has set a remarkable new benchmark for DDR5 memory. This feat was accomplished using the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, further solidifying Gigabyte’s dominance in the overclocking community.
Gigabyte Redefines DDR5 Memory Overclocking World Records with Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE
The ongoing surge in DDR5 memory records showcases Gigabyte’s supremacy in the industry, as it currently occupies the top three positions in the world ranking. Just a month ago, the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard shattered the 13, 000 MT/s DDR5 frequency threshold, and it continues to push boundaries in high-speed memory performance.
The latest record was achieved by Hicookie on the exceptional Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard. The setup was equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU, which had its E-Cores disabled to optimize performance, along with a single Adata XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 memory module.
This single 24 GB DDR5 module was overclocked to an impressive effective speed of 6517.4 MHz, ultimately achieving a transfer rate of 13, 034 MT/s. The CAS latency timings were set to 68-127-127-127-2, facilitating a remarkable twofold enhancement over the standard DDR5-6400 speeds and a substantial 2.72 times improvement over the initial JEDEC 4800 MT/s specifications. To attain these extraordinary results, both the processor and memory were subjected to liquid nitrogen cooling.
HiCookie – 13K achieved! Huge thanks to ADATA Technology for the stellar memory and to Intel’s Core Ultra 285K—its memory controller is phenomenal. Paired with the GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE, we’ve pushed DDR5 beyond 13, 000 MT/s.
This latest achievement indicates that overclockers still have several opportunities to push DDR5 memory speeds even further. While such extreme speeds may not be practical for everyday tasks, they exemplify the potential of current DDR technology. As we anticipate the arrival of DDR6 memory—not expected until around 2027—initial speeds are projected to begin near 10, 000 MT/s, with the potential for exceeding 20, 000 MT/s as platforms mature.
