ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF Shatters Records: Over 10,000 MT/s DDR5 Speeds Achieved on Air Cooling

ASRock has once again proven the overclocking prowess of its Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, achieving an incredible 10,133 MT/s DDR5 memory speed under ambient air cooling conditions—no liquid nitrogen required.

Breaking Barriers with Dual-Rank Memory

Unlike most overclocking records achieved with single-rank modules, this milestone was reached using dual-rank memory sticks, making it the first dual DDR5 configuration to break the 10,000 MT/s barrier. The overclocking was achieved by renowned enthusiast Nick Shih at HKEPC Hardware, who utilized V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5 memory kits for the feat.

  • Memory Speed: 10,133 MT/s (5066 MHz)

  • Memory Configuration: Dual 24GB DDR5 sticks

  • Cooling: Standard air cooling with stock heatsinks

  • Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

No Extreme Cooling Needed

What sets this achievement apart is that it was done at room temperature, with no high-end cooling solutions such as liquid nitrogen. This demonstrates the robust engineering of the ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF, which has already been pushing boundaries, previously hitting speeds of 12,666 MT/s on single modules.

The motherboard's powerful design includes:

  • 27-phase VRM with 110A SPS for optimal CPU overclocking

  • Advanced BIOS settings fine-tuned for memory overclocking enthusiasts

V-Color XFinity RGB DDR5 Memory in Action

The V-Color Manta XFinity RGB DDR5 memory kits have become a favorite among overclockers, offering stability and performance that allowed this groundbreaking achievement. Paired with ASRock's motherboard, this kit is setting the standard for high-performance memory configurations.

ASRock is expected to update its official specs to reflect this milestone, marking the Z890 Taichi OCF as a must-have for enthusiasts looking for unrivaled memory performance. The motherboard is already renowned for its versatility and robust features, making it the go-to option for overclockers and performance seekers.
