ASRock’s Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard is making waves in the world of overclocking, setting astonishing new records in DDR5 memory speeds—all achieved with just regular air cooling in an everyday environment. This cutting-edge motherboard has now managed to propel dual DDR5 memory kits beyond the groundbreaking speed of 10,000 MT/s without resorting to high-end cooling solutions.
Initially, ASRock was already thrilled with the prospect of reaching 10,000 MT/s with a single rank module. However, their recent achievements have surpassed even their own expectations. The Z890 Taichi OCF was officially acknowledged for supporting speeds up to 12,527 MT/s through overclocking. While a G.Skill module previously bested this with a speed of 12,666 MT/s, the real triumph lies in the Z890 Taichi OCF’s performance.
The renowned overclocker Nick Shih from HKEPC Hardware has etched a new milestone for dual-stick memory overclocking. Typically, memory overclocking benchmarks focus on single-rank modules, making this dual-rank achievement—the first of its kind over 10,000 MT/s—all the more remarkable.
What’s astonishing about this feat is that it was accomplished at room temperature, without any sophisticated cooling techniques like liquid nitrogen. HKEPC’s Nick Shih leveraged the V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5 memory kit to push these boundaries. A 2x 24GB kit operated at a mesmerizing 5066 MHz or 10,133 MT/s, dwarfing many single modules that struggle to hit 10,000 MT/s.
This remarkable achievement used a system powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with standard liquid cooling, while the Xfinity RGB DDR5 memory relied entirely on its built-in heatsinks. It’s a testament to the Z890 Taichi OCF’s incredible overclocking potential.
ASRock’s claims about the unmatched capabilities of the Z890 motherboard are clearly founded. With such a record-breaking performance, it’s likely ASRock will soon highlight this 10,000 MT/s+ speed on their specifications, a significant leap from the current 6800+ MT/s listing. Beyond memory prowess, the Taichi OCF impresses with robust power delivery, featuring a 27-phase VRM with 110A Smart Power Stages, ensuring powerful CPU overclocking potential.
The ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF is quickly establishing itself as the go-to choice for those eager to push their systems to unparalleled heights. With such stellar achievements in the overclocking community, it’s undeniable that this motherboard is set to continue breaking new ground.
