Gigabyte’s AORUS Tachyon motherboard leaked

It has been several months since AMD launched the AM5 platform, and the B650E platform was launched as early as October, and more than two months have passed so far. Previously, Gigabyte announced that they were developing high-end motherboards that support extreme overclocking of DDR5 memory, but they did not find such motherboards in the X670E series motherboards. It is understood that AORUS, a high-end e-sports hardware brand under Gigabyte, intends to use the B650E chipset to design Tachyon series motherboards on the AM5 platform.

Gigabyte’s Tachyon series motherboards are more focused on memory overclocking. Judging from the news shared by Twitter user @skatterbencher, AORUS B650E Tachyon is an ATX motherboard, in which the AM5 socket of the CPU is powered by 8Pin, and the motherboard has four SATA III interfaces. There are also four M.2 interfaces and two PCIe x16 slots (specifications are 1 PCIe 5.0+1 PCIe 4.0), and with the basic overclocking function, the main board’s voltage measurement point and BIOS switch are located next to the 24-pin EPS, while the main board’s power switch and DeBug led light are located under the PCH.

The motherboard is designed with two DDR5 memory slots. The reason for using two memory slots is generally to focus on memory overclocking to obtain a higher memory frequency. On the AM4 platform of the previous generation, there are also several extreme memory overclocking motherboards designed with dual DIMM memory slots, which are also specially designed for memory overclocking, such as MSI’s B550 MEG Unify-X series motherboards.
