Overclocker Achieves 10,200 MT/s With Dual 24 GB DDR5 Memory Configuration On X870 AORUS Tachyon ICE

A recent overclocking achievement has pushed the boundaries of DDR5 memory speeds even further, this time on the AMD X870 platform—a feat that many considered especially difficult. The well-known overclocker “hicookie” managed to reach 10,200 MT/s on two 24 GB v-color DDR5 memory modules, demonstrating that such impressive memory speeds are no longer confined to Intel’s Z890 boards.

This result, first highlighted by @UnikoHardware, stands out particularly because it involves 2× 24 GB modules instead of a single stick—dramatically raising the difficulty level of such an overclock. The memory kit was tested on an unreleased GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Tachyon ICE motherboard, combined with an AMD Ryzen 8700G processor running an AGESA BIOS 1203a. MemTest showed the system stable at CL50-62-62-127 timings, with zero reported errors, underscoring the solid nature of the overclock.

While earlier records of 10,000+ MT/s typically originated on Intel’s Z890 boards, pushing two high-capacity sticks beyond 10,000 MT/s on an AMD X870 board reveals the platform’s growing memory headroom. It also reflects the continuing collaboration between DRAM manufacturers like V-Color and motherboard vendors aiming to optimize the new DDR5 standard. As in many world-record attempts, specialized cooling—likely LN2—was used to maintain temperatures at speeds well beyond typical daily usage scenarios.

Observers note that while such extreme memory frequencies do not often translate into major performance gains for day-to-day applications or games, the overclocking community pursues these milestones as a testament to engineering skill and hardware limits. For mainstream users, an official release of the X870 AORUS Tachyon ICE board and AGESA BIOS 1203a could signal more refined DDR5 memory support, though few would likely push modules this far. Regardless, overclocks above 10,200 MT/s demonstrate how advanced DDR5 technology and optimized motherboards continue to break new ground.

Is pursuing these ultra-high DDR5 speeds purely an overclocking bragging right, or do you think they’ll pave the way for tangible performance benefits in future hardware? Let us know your take!
