G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16GB DDR4 3600MHz Memory Module (16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 3600MHz),Black

Product Information

This kit is the 4000MHz (CL15) kit, but G.SKILL sells its Trident Z Royal in an array of configurations. Starting at just 2666MHz, it's possible to save a little by going with slower modules (you can buy a 64GB 2666MHz kit for less than this 16GB review sample) or spend even more on up to 4800MHz DIMMs.

The company relies on Samsung RAM modules, utilizes an aluminum heat spreader with a gold or silver finish. There's — of course — RGB lighting. Still, instead of using basic diffusers as you'd find on the excellent Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro range, G.SKILL meticulously crafted a crystalline light bar to ensure the right amount of light shines out. Introducing the perfect accessory to put your Trident Z Royal or Trident Z RGB memory kit on display, the Royal Display Box lets you show off the defa...

Simply put, nothing beats the D50 EXTREME kit because it comes with an XMP rating of 5000cl19. Our G.Skill test kit did show a surprising result in the copy test, this clearly takes advantage of the faster interleaving from dual-rank, but in the end, it was no match for raw frequency. We’d also like to point out that the XMP 5000 profile shown in the graphs here is incredibly loose, with some of the slowest timings our motherboard would allow.

In the graph below, we can see a gain of up to 25% for the memory score and a gain of 16% for the multicore score. For daily tasks and even moderately-competitive benchmarking, the risk may not be worth the reward. Geekbench 3 Benchmark Conclusion

Below are the test system and resulting memory speeds that will be used to evaluate the memory and run the benchmarks. Test Setup The light diffuser has been designed for maximum light refraction, even when placed in low-light conditions. The entire top of the memory module is one contiguous plastic light diffuser, which G.SKILL is calling the “crystalline light bar”. This serves the function of softening the light from eight individually selectable RGB LEDs. It also serves the function of adding a premium element to your build with the unique diamond-shaped light bar. The Trident Z Royal Elite, which is available in both gold and silver colors, features the same polished alumimum heat spreader as the vanilla Trident Z Royal. However, G.Skill has revamped the design a bit. The heat spreader on the Trident Z Royal Elite flaunts a gorgeous crystalline pattern that does justice to the crystalline RGB light bar. According to G.Skill, the new heat spreader is product of 76 chiseled facets. When purchasing DDR4 memory, the main factors to consider, other than memory size or physical features, are the operating frequency and timings. The XMP is a memory profile stored inside the actual memory, which allows the user to easily apply the rated frequency and timings. This kit of memory comes with a very fast XMP 2.0 profile of 4000MHz with primary timings of CL17-17-17. Trident Z Royal is the newest member of the Trident Z family. Featuring a crown jewel design and meticulously crafted to display just the right amount of light refraction, the crystalline light bar scatters RGB colors in a magnificent display of LED lighting. Mirroring the high-class light bar design, polished aluminum heatspreaders of gold or silver colors cool the memory modules in the classic Trident Z tri-fin design.Designed with powerful fans and easy to install, G.SKILL Turbulence memory coolers offer a silent & versatile cooling solution for your memory kits....

The crystalline light bar scatters the RGB colors in a magnificent display of LED lighting. To manage the light show, G.SKILL has included a new version of their RGB control software which is compatible with all popular motherboard makers, fully customization. and programmable. The Trident Z Royal is compatible with Asus Aura software. This unique feature allows users with Asus Aura motherboards to sync both the memory and the motherboard. When paired with an Asus motherboard, the G.SKILL control software relinquishes control to the Asus Aura software to allow syncing of the various compatible hardware.
