<![CDATA[G.SKILL was established in 1989 by enthusiasts they are a leading memory module Manufacturer based in Taipei, Taiwan. In 2003, the company was established as a maker of computer memory. The company currently operates several distributors and resellers in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. G.Skill have built their brand around fast RAM, preferred by the overclockers with an impressive specifications list and some of the best design schemes on the market.
You could get RGB lighting on multiple different types of memory and manufacturers. But you have to choose between two factors; looks, or performance. Usually you have to sacrifice one for the other, but not in this case. The Trident Z has exceptional statistics for the price. Usually everyone thinks that complicated and customizable lighting on RAM could cause performance issues due to signal interference. But manufactures like GEIL got around this issue by adding a separate power cable. But the even more amazing thing is that the Trident Z RGB didn’t require any external power and the performance was essentially identical to the non-RGB Trident Z series!
The Trident Z (RGB) has a CAS Latency of 15 with a Access Time of 6.25 ns. That isn’t bad at all. The new Trident Z’s are some of the fastest clocked memory kits which can go as high as 4266 MHz. The kit we received is optimized at a clock speed of 2400 MHz (PC4-19200). The memory kit is fully compatible with the Intel XMP 2.0 and can be easily set to its rated clock speeds through the BIOS shipped on the latest Intel motherboards. Memory compatibility id different on every motherboard, so make sure that your board is high-end and rated to support high clock speed memory sticks. The specs for our kit is shown;
- Amount of Ram: 64GB (16GBx4)
- Generation: DDR4
- Speed: 2400 Mhz (PC4 19200)
- Access Time: 6.25 ns
- CAS Latency: 15 (15-15-15-35)
- Channels: Dual
- Error Checking: Non-ECC
Overall with testing the Trident Z can compare with most of the non RGB memory on the market. If you have the money, and want pretty lights then I recommend this. But if you are looking for performance, I would look at the Non RGB version.
