GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS TACHYON – Overclocking

by

This new “Tachyon” is perhaps the basis of a new series of motherboards dedicated to overclocking in the AORUS range. To be sure, we will have to reach a new chipset to see if we find this name again. This AORUS Tachyon is built around Intel’s new chipset , the Z590. This motherboard retains the LGA-1200 socket from the Z490 chipset which will allow you to reuse your cooling system if you wish to upgrade your configuration. As a reminder, the LGA-1200 socket is different from the LGA-1151 since we go from 1151 pin to 1200 pinat the socket level .
