HiCookie and GIGABYTE OC Team Shatter DDR5 World Record and Claim 10 Global First Places at COMPUTEX2026

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardwaresolutions, is proud to announce a series of historic overclocking achievements at COMPUTEX 2026. The elite GIGABYTE O.C. Team, led by legendary overclocker HiCookie, delivered a dominant performance across both Intel Z890 and AMD X870 platforms — smashinga DDR5 memory frequency world record and claiming 10 Global First Place rankings in a single event, a landmark moment in competitive overclocking history.

At COMPUTEX 2026, the GIGABYTE OC Team — HiCookie, Sergmann, Saltycroissant, Madness777, and Exaberries — set a new DDR5 memoryspeed world record of DDR5-13556 MT/s, surpassing all previous records and breaking through an unprecedented frequency barrier. This achievement was accomplished using GIGABYTE’s flagship Z890 AORUS TACHYON DUO X ICE motherboard, paired with a Corsair VENGEANCEDDR5 memory kit and an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor.

Z890 AORUS TACHYON DUO X ICE sits at the absolute pinnacle of GIGABYTE’s extreme overclocking platform design. Built around theinnovative D5 DUO X technology with CQDIMM support, it revolutionizes memory performance through an industry-first integration of optimized motherboard circuit layouts, advanced BIOS tuning, and a refined clock driver architecture. Its comprehensive overclockingtoolkit gives overclockers the precision and confidence to push far beyond conventional limits.

At the prestigious G.SKILL 12th Annual OC World Record Stage 2026, HiCookie and the GIGABYTE OC Team delivered a commanding sweepon the AMD platform, claiming 10 Global First Place (GFP) records using the X870 AORUS INFINITY motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor and G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB memory. The achievements span across a wide spectrum of benchmarks, including MaximumCPU Frequency of 7452 MHz, Super Pi 1M, Cinebench R15 (Single Core), Cinebench R23 (Single Core), and 6 additional Global First Place benchmark records.

The X870 AORUS INFINITY proved equally decisive on the AMD side, engineered to achieve the lowest memory latency on the AMD X870platform for a faster, more responsive gaming and computing experience. Pushing the Ryzen™ 9 9950X3D2 to 7452 MHz — one of the highest frequencies ever recorded on any AMD platform — demands not only elite overclocker skill, but a motherboard with the powerarchitecture and stability to match.

“This is a result that belongs to the whole community,” said HiCookie followingthe record-setting performance. “We’re grateful to G.SKILL for bringing together so many of the world’s top overclockers on one stage. Seeing our long-term collaboration in memory technology — and GIGABYTE’s relentless pursuit of extreme performance and reliability— come to fruition like this makes it all worthwhile.”

These extraordinary results at COMPUTEX 2026 affirm GIGABYTE’s position at the forefront of extreme overclocking. With HiCookieand the OC Team achieving a world record on Intel and a historic 10-category sweep on AMD in a single event, the AORUS family of overclocking motherboards has once again proven to be the platform of choice for overclockers pushing hardware to its absolutelimit.
