The Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE has surpassed the 10,000 MT/s mark with VColor CUDIMM DDR5 memory, paired with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K.

Gigabyte recently published a blog post showcasing the overclocking capabilities of its Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE. According to Gigabyte, their latest board can support incredibly high memory speeds, with users achieving 10,000 MT/s and beyond. As memory manufacturers continue to release fast DDR5 modules, Gigabyte is ensuring that their new board can help these modules reach their maximum potential.

Mysterious V-Color CUDIMM DDR5 memory achieves over 10,000 MT/s

The overclocking session was conducted by esteemed overclocker HiCookie, who used Gigabyte’s premium Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard paired with the latest Core Ultra 7 265K. For memory, HiCookie utilized a V-Color CUDIMM 24GB kit, consisting of two 24GB modules.

Interestingly, neither Gigabyte nor the overclocker has specified the exact model of the V-Color CUDIMM memory. We speculate it might be the recently launched Xfinity RGB DDR5 CUDIMM module, which features speeds of up to 9,600 MT/s, as that is the only CUDIMM memory we know of from V-Color. With this overclocking setup, HiCookie pushed the limits and achieved an impressive memory speed of 10,600 MT/s on the AORUS Tachyon ICE.

Gigabyte Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE achieved the highest DDR5 memory speed till now

This is a remarkable feat for Gigabyte, as this represents the highest DDR5 memory speed we have seen to date, and it’s also a significant achievement for V-Color, as no other CUDIMM DDR5 module has surpassed the 10,000 MT/s mark. Notably, the test bench was based on the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, as shown in the CPU-Z screenshots. Additionally, the user reached a clock frequency of 5,300.5 MHz, with CL timings of CL48-58-58-140. While the voltage wasn’t revealed, it is likely near or above 1.5V, as memory modules reaching over 10,000 MT/s typically require higher voltage at those speeds.

Gigabyte says that their Z890 Aorus TACHYON ICE empowers overclockers to push the limits thanks to its D5 Bionic Corsa, an AI-enhanced overclocking technology that seamlessly integrates software, hardware, and firmware, unlocking groundbreaking DDR5 speeds with ease. With that said, we are yet to see the practical use of such high speeds in gaming and productivity.
