GIGABYTE took center stage at Computex 2026 by setting a new DDR5-13556 MT/s world record with Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 modules on the Z890 AORUS TACHYON DUO X ICE motherboard. Lead overclocker Hicookie guided the team through the run, showcasing the board’s CQDIMM design and signal integrity.

The same crew joined G.SKILL’s 12th Annual OC World Record Stage, where they claimed ten global firsts across CPU frequency and other benchmarks. Their new X870 AORUS INFINITY board paired with AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processors and G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB memory to push the memory frequency to record levels. Overclockers Sergmann, Saltycroissant, Madness777, and Exaberries joined the effort, highlighting the platform’s extreme potential.

These results reinforce GIGABYTE’s claim as a leader in high‑performance gaming hardware, showcasing how CQDIMM technology delivers lower latency on the X870 platform. For enthusiasts, the Z890 and X870 boards offer ready‑made paths to extract maximum speed without custom silicon, making them the go‑to choice for overclock‑focused builds. The record‑setting runs cement GIGABYTE’s position in the enthusiast market today.

Industry observers note that such feats pressure competitors to tighten BIOS tuning and memory validation, potentially accelerating the rollout of DDR5‑compatible platforms. The partnership with Corsair and G.SKILL also signals a trend toward co‑development, where motherboard makers and memory vendors align specs to unlock higher clocks. Consumers can expect more out‑of‑the‑box performance from next‑gen rigs.
