Gigabyte has clearly heard you loud and clear. They have just quietly launched the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard. This is no ordinary motherboard. It is the one that set the latest world record for the highest DDR5 memory speed.

Breaking Barriers: 12,726 MT/s and Counting

For those familiar, the fight to break the 12,000 MT/s barrier for DDR5 memory has been tough. The Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE was in the forefront, breaking it like a hot knife through butter. Overclocking legends, using this very board, have clocked 12,726 MT/s. That's not just fast, it's a different class altogether. Gigabyte designed this motherboard to mock the limit.

Usually, these über-specialized, overclocking-focused motherboards go directly to the pros – the individuals who live and breathe pushing hardware to its breaking point. But after seeing records broken, Gigabyte decided it's time to show some love. The Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE is now officially available for enthusiasts like you.

Under the Hood: Built for Speed

Gigabyte's official product page is up. Checking out the specs reveals why this board is a memory-eating beast. They flaunt that 12,726 MT/s speed first. It's the star attraction. The default listed memory speed is still scorching 9500 MT/s. Everyone knows that with tweaks, this board goes further.

Standout features enabling this performance include:

Unconventional Design

Look around. Anything unusual? The DIMM slots are along the top. The CPU socket is 90 degrees around. It's not for aesthetics. It's about signal pathway optimization for extreme memory speeds.

Dual DIMM Focus

You will only find two DIMM slots. Dual-channel configuration is the only method of guaranteeing record-breaking frequencies.

Powerful Power Delivery

An 18+1+2 phase VRM design with 110A Smart Power Stages means serious power for both memory and CPU overclocking. This board is performance-pushing ready for anything.

Overclocker's Toolkit Onboard

Gigabyte saturated this with hardware overclocking goodies right on the PCB: error code display, power/reset/CMOS clear buttons, voltage control, BIOS switch – everything. It's like having a hardware overclocking control panel integrated onto the board.

Dual BIOS Redundancy

A second BIOS chip is a safety net for those not-so-infrequent instances when overclocking testing goes a little haywire. It's something you won't see too often on Mass Market 800-series boards anymore.

Connectivity and More

Apart from its overclocking prowess, the Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE does not fall behind on modern features. Watch out for:

  • State-of-the-Art Networking: WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and super-speedy 5GbE LAN.
  • Thunderbolt 4: For speedy peripherals and display connections.
  • Spacious USB: More than enough Quick USB Type-A and Type-C ports.
  • Expansion: Numerous M.2 spots for NVMe SSDs and headers galore for cooling and RGB fixings.

In short, the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Tachyon ICE is more than a motherboard. It is an overclocking device. Assuming you are going to run the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor and your heart yearns to push memory speeds to the limits, this board is calling your name.

Pricing and availability are still under wraps, but stay tuned – this is going to be a hot one.
