GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, today announced that Z790 AORUS TACHYON pushes the envelope of memory performance to XMP DDR5-8333 and DDR5-9300 O.C. with air cooling. On top of that, the phenomenal performance of XMP DDR5-8000 on Z790 AORUS XTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER motherboards proves the enhancements from hardware to firmware including top-quality components, new generation Shielded Memory Routing design, and High Bandwidth of BIOS setting greatly improve memory stability and performance.

Enhanced by the new generation Shielded Memory Routing and low signal-loss PCB design, GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS TACHYON, Z790 AORUS XTREME, and Z790 AORUS MASTER can effectively reduce the internal and external signal loss or interference, which ensures blasting-fast DDR5 memory speed. In addition, the abundant BIOS setting of DDR5 Memory Upgrade and XMP 3.0 User Profile lead to the breakthrough performance of memories.




Meanwhile, GIGABYTE's exclusive High Bandwidth feature can further raise total bandwidth on XMP memories to provide superior memory performance without changing the memory clock. Enhanced with top-quality materials, exclusive hardware design and BIOS settings, GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS XTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER unleash a new level of performance with XMP DDR5-8000, while Z790 AORUS TACHYON achieves the breakthrough performance of XMP DDR5-8333 and DDR5-9300 O.C. by air cooling with its exclusive O.C. kit. This demonstrates the superior quality and ultimate performance of GIGABYTE motherboards.

Z790 AORUS TACHYON
GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS TACHYON is designed by well-known overclockers exclusively for overclocking. With the consistency from GIGABYTE's widely recognized durability and stability, Z790 AORUS TACHYON provides comprehensive power management through its advanced direct VRM power design, as well as the full-coverage thermal design of MOS area to significantly improve heat dissipation. Meanwhile, the built-in overclocking kit design on the motherboard provides shortcut keys, toggle switches, and voltage detection functions which many overclockers use for overclocking adjustment. This allows more convenient tweaking for overclockers to break the limit with ease.

GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS XTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER
GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS XTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER are exclusively designed for the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors. Featuring up to 20+1+2 phases of digital power VRM design with each phase holding up to 105 amps and Fins-Array III heatsink design, these motherboards are geared with the best power design and thermal management to unleash the extreme performance and optimized overclocking experience on the new generation multi-core K series Intel Core processors. The optimized hardware and firmware design delivers more stable signals to memory and enables users to easily boost XMP and overclocking performance. Z790 AORUS XTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER provide users ultra-durable motherboards with premium compatibility, breakthrough performance, and low temperature through the optimized power supply, heat dissipation, and expansions. Featuring premium components and notable tuning function, these motherboards boost the overall and overclocking performance of CPU and memories.

  • Wow

And why not for the equally good Z690 Aorus Master?
 
They want you to buy the new product obviously :mad:
Probably,:ohwell:

I'm running 6000Mhz CL36 now, it seems my motherboard supports upto 6400 according to the memory QVL.

Maybe it supports higher when you try, not sure..

The QVL's are once again, only memory that the motherboards makers have at hand, that they've tested the boards with.
Take it as guidance, nothing more.

So it might run DDR5 8000?

You won't know until you try.
It seems like you need a 13th gen CPU for those kind of memory clocks though.
 
I for one demand to see 1080p-4K gaming FPS comparison between DDR5 6400 and DDR5 8000 first before buying into the mighthy 9000+ hype.

Because I can only go to like 7200 on the Z690 Master :) DDR5-8000 is bootable and 7800 is stable on a Z790 Eilte AX though.

Edit: This is with 13900K. I haven't really tried to push Hynix A- Die with that Z690 Master, but I couldn't boot 6600 with a 12900K. Leads me to think that for the most part you need 13th Gen to hit those high speeds. Much better memory controller. Z690 Taychon topped out at 6933 for 12900K, now I've gone up to 7600 with M-Die for 13th gen. Next stop is A-Die.

Agreed. Show us what it does.
 
So as memory clocks and timings keep improving does this mean Raptor Lake will just pull further ahead of Zen 4 as it's basically stuck at DDR5 6000. It's only hope is low latency sticks. Could we ever get DDR5 6000 CL22/24. Is that possible? If they are stuck at CL28 max and Intel's can go probably get good latency sticks beyond DDR5 7200 in due course, Zen 4 looks weaker and weaker in the long term. I hope the v-cache models are also going to help with productivity not just useless gaming. Performance is already shy high with current hardware, how many more fps do you need unless you do e-sports.
