About this deal

The EXPO profile worked perfectly fine on ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene and ASUS Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi motherboards. ASUS motherboards give us EXPO I and EXPO II options for optimized performance and compatibility, but the Trident Z5 Neo is equipped with only one EXPO profile. There is no need for more, as every motherboard should support 6000MT/s. The QVL for the tested memory kit includes multiple motherboards, but most are from higher series. The memory still should work on lower series motherboards as long as there is no problem with BIOS. Since the tested RAM couldn’t work at DDR5-6000 CL26, I had to use CL28, which worked up to DDR5-6400. This is already impressive, even though the VDD/VDDQ was about 1.55V. PCMark 10 uses popular applications to perform tests close to daily tasks. Here the results are, for all intents and purposes, the same. 3DMark – Fire Strike Extreme 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme DIMMs - Dual In-Line Memory Module, the physical circuit board that holds the RAM chips that plug into the slots on your motherboard.

The XMP profile was tested in AIDA64 System Stability Test and passed without problems. All performance tests, including the stability test below, were performed on the MSI Z690 Unify-X motherboard. G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 XMP#1 – AIDA64 Stability Test Comparison Tests During our testing, the Crucial kit threw up a few surprises, sometimes matching a 5200MHz kit thanks to its dual rank design. Add to that its low operating voltage and surprisingly good value for money, and it's a good solid kit for work or play. On our test platform, we could reach the DDR5-6400 at tight timings. The required voltage was 1.50V, which is still acceptable if there is good airflow in the PC case. G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB DDR5-6000 – 6400MT/s OCFire Strike Extreme is not reacting well to RAM performance on our test rig. We can still tell that the Trident Z5 Neo is slightly faster than other memory kits. 3DMark – Time Spy 3DMark – Time Spy

CL/CAS Latency - Column Access Strobe Latency is the delay between the memory controller requesting data from the RAM and the available data; the first number listed in a kit's timings.

DDR5 DRAM FOR AMD

The G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 is available in 32GB kits that contain two 16GB modules. This is optimal for most users regarding compatibility and capacity. The modules have one pre-programmed XMP profile, which works without issue on most Z690 motherboards. The XMP profile worked fine on MSI MEG Z690 Unify-X and ASUS Strix Z690I-Gaming WIFI. I assume it should also work on lower series motherboards that usually have problems with DDR5-6400 or above. Even though the tested memory kit has low CAS latency, the main problem is typically the frequency. DDR5-6000 usually works fine on all brand motherboards. Fans of Corsair products and the iCue RGB system won't need to be convinced to buy this kit. It looks fantastic, and though it won't set speed records, this kit should have many years of life ahead of it. You'll want to go with something faster if you must have every last drop of performance for a high-end rig, but for mainstream DDR5 buyers, Corsair won't let you down. It's the kind of kit that will have a long life, too. In a few years from now, 64GB will still be more than useful, especially if you're talking about a high-end gaming PC. The Final Fantasy XV Benchmark shows better results on the Trident Z5 Neo memory. On the other hand, we won’t get much better scores at faster RAM settings in this benchmark.

G.Skill DDR5 memory kits have been in stores for some months, but these, more interesting (read: higher speeds and low timings), were not released yet. The main reason for that seems to be the lower-than-expected capabilities of the current motherboards with the Z690 chipset, which may change with the premiere of the upcoming AMD and Intel chipsets later this year. No, it won't. Even though both types have 288 pins, DDR4 and DDR5 memory is electrically incompatible. The two types have a different notch positions, to prevent anyone from inserting a DDR5 module into a DDR4 motherboard, or vice versa. How much RAM do I need? Even though we see higher memory frequencies, DDR5-6000 is a sweet spot for all users. Its frequency is high enough to deliver outstanding results and low enough to be compatible with an overwhelming majority of Z690 and B660 motherboards on the market. I could say it’s a perfect balance for all those who wish exceptional performance but don’t want to worry about compatibility. There were no problems with the tested memory kits on three different motherboards. The XMP profile and RGB illumination worked perfectly fine. G.Skill is one of the most popular brands, so motherboard manufacturers tend to provide long-standing support and improved BIOS’. Though I have to say, I am not personally a fan of RGB, but I will admit to a little bit of guilty pleasure having a play with a full set of synchonized RGB components.The memory timings wouldn't go below the rated values at DDR5-6000, even at 1.435V. The tRAS could run at 72 instead of 76, but that was all. Optimization margins were almost non-existent on the Vengeance RGB DDR5 memory kit, at least on our sample. Bottom Line Kingston's Fury Beast kit eschews flashy RGB and huge heat sinks in favour of a design that's subtle and discrete. If your PC is sitting under a desk, out of sight and mind, do you really need a lot of bling? Regardless, the Corsair kit performs at a decent level across our benchmark suite. The jump from the entry-level 4800MHz kits to 5200MHz is just enough to make a difference in apps that thrive on higher bandwidth. Of course, it trails the faster kits you would expect. The XMP profile was tested in AIDA64 System Stability Test and passed without problems. Sixteen hours is more than enough to be sure about that.
