G.SKILL Trident Z5 Module Silver

Pro:Excellent bangs for bucks, DDR5!Effortless XMP 3.0 to overclock to attain advertised speeds without issues.64GB (2x32GB) set, means only 1 chanel 2 sockets used = full (double) memory bandwith on most motherboards.Con:Only one XMP profile available. [XMP-1] = DDR5-6000 CL32-38-38-96 @ 1.40V.[Default] = 4800 CL40-40-40-77 @ 1.10V

6200 @ 1.35v

This seems like a good kit. I was able to get 2 DIMMs to 6200 stable at 1.35v on ASUS z690 ROG gaming-E with updated bios. Trained during first post to 4800, and xmp enabled at 6000 fine. This is my first attempt at memory OC, so Im sure they can be pushed further and that I just lack experience at this point. I actually had 4 DIMMs up to 5800 but decided I was okay with 32 gigs until DDR5 advanced a little more and then Id probably swap out entirely. Keep in mind that DDR5 runs in quad channel with 2 DIMMs, so 4 is pretty pointless (for gaming, at least). I prefer a good product over RGB. If it comes with it, Ill take it. However, its not a must have. I actually really like the way these look without it and dig the trident Z design. Overall, this was a good kit for ... MoreThis seems like a good kit.

6200MHz, CL30, low sub timmings,1.35V w/ 7950X3D

XMP/EXPO sub/secondary timing on this kit are pretty loose. you can tighten them up a lot. tRAS can easily go down from 96 to 28, for example, even with the new AM5 lower voltage limits. attached a picture of my settings and voltages. i can probably tighten the up some more but at this point the benefits aren't worth the possible stability issues.i've installed a few of these kits in the various systems i built. you don't need 1.4V that these are configured with from the factory. it should run fine at 1.35V even when OCed. 1.3V is doable depending on your luck with the silicon lottery

Acceptable Kit.. I guess..

I got this kit and one of the LEDs on one of the sticks didn't work. So I returned it and got a replacement. But heads up!! I noticed on forums people are complaining about this exact RAM kit dying after 3 - 4 months. So I decided to get a 2 years warranty just in case. My kit happens to be Samsung so we'll see what happens in the future. So far I've had it for about a month.Other than that RAM works just fine and I even managed to get tighter timings. Both XMP profiles work as well on Asus Prime Z790-A. I would advise getting a different DDR5 6000mhz kit if you don't plan on getting warranty from Microcenter.I've tried TeamGroup T-Force 32GB DDR5 CL32 6000mhz but it would not work on my setup no matter what. I've tried XMP profiles, different frequencies , ... MoreI got this kit and one of the LEDs on one of the sticks didn't work. So I returned it and got a replacement. But heads up!!

I've tried XMP profiles, different frequencies , different timings but crashed everytime after booting into OS. If you have an Asus Prime Z790-A then keep that in mind when looking for a DDR5 kit.

Faulty and expensive

I built a new pc and when I first got it running I did a memtest86 on the ram. It came back with over 4700 errors. I've just had to send gpu for rma and now this. A lot of times there is no display. If I unplug gpu and run from motherboard I/o it usually works but forget about gaming with an igu. Im not sure if the ram corrupted the gpu update or what. I just bought new ram so if my problem still persists, I'll change my review. I've bout g skill 6 times now and while I needed to rma one set I put it off. But gonna send both in. Current system is asus z690 rog strip-e, this ram, evga 1080 ftw hybrid, wd black, Samsung 970 pro and and brand new Samsung 980 pro, evga 850 g3 and intel 12900k. As bad as it will hurt my trust with g skill I hope it is the memory, im so ... MoreI built a new pc and when I first got it running I did a memtest86 on the ram. It came back with over 4700 errors.

Weird because it worked yesterday, was gaming too but after about 6 hours game started to crash and after a restart there was no display.

Not Ready for the mainstream at 6600

Purchased the G Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 memory to mount in my new MEG Z690 Godlike MOBO. This was the only DDR5 RAM at 6600 that was ready for the MOBO. From the get go I was having problems with the RGB lighting using the MSI center and was unable to get the RGB lighting to work without having to reset the software to maintain the lighting as desired. Have been unable to achieve a successful stress test on the new PC. After running a test on the RAM it was discovered that the RAM had 4 errors. There are many reason why the stress test could have failed. The RAM runs at 1.4V out of the box with XMP enabled. I believe the RAM needs a little more proving or for other parts to catch up. The CPU being used for the PC is a I9 12900KS which runs very hot by its self. The ... MorePurchased the G Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 memory to mount in my new MEG Z690 Godlike MOBO.

Not all DDR5 from G.skill is created equal

5 eggs for this particular set of DDR5 G.skill 6000mhz CL36. This is my second set of this exact ram from G.skill. I purchased my first set in December at higher prices and regret that decision as the ram wasn't stable. It ran XMP profile fine but would crash while gaming or would throw memory errors above 50C. A lot of people complaining about early adoption of DDR5 blaming it on the motherboard or its bios but I would find certain people who had no problems whatsoever with this ram. So it got me thinking. IT'S PROBABLY THE RAM and not my bios! So I purchased the exact same G.skill ram right here on Newegg and it's running perfect! I haven't had to adjust any voltages in Bios, it just runs XMP auto settings. No errors on memory tests or benchmarks and I've had it ... More5 eggs for this particular set of DDR5 G.skill 6000mhz CL36. This is my second set of this exact ram from G.skill.

I haven't had to adjust any voltages in Bios, it just runs XMP auto settings. No errors on memory tests or benchmarks and I've had it up to over 60C and still no memory errors! Now if you want to overclock your (already overclocked memory) above 6000mhz then you are absolutely going to need an aftermarket cooling solution to achieve stability above 6000mhz. I am perfectly happy finally getting the advertised XMP Profile of 6000mhz 36-36-36-76 at 1.3v. This review is for 2x16gb. For users with 4x16gb, you have other problems as running 4 sticks (64GB) has its own issues entirely.

Super solid.

Assuming that your board can run it with XMP II (vendor timings), incredibly solid ram for most workloads if you want to set it to XMP II and forget it. Paired with a 4090/13900K, hit 70fps in CP2077 w/ OD (Path tracing).I didn't have much luck overclocking it on an Asus ProArt z790 board - even to 6400mz.I recently upgraded to 7600mhz RAM which required custom voltages, isn't as stable, and only benefits a specific workload. Unless you want bragging rights or are doing some non-gaming memory intensive work, stick with this.

Works great!

Purchased several months back. Initially was only able to get these stable at 6000mhz on the ASUS B650E-F ROG STRIX GAMING WIFI.Recently updated to the latest BIOS 1807 (I updated when I first purchased but was several revisions back).Either the BIOS update or enabling the 2nd Memory Context Restore and the memory is running at rated speed.Originally I had AI Tweaker | DRAM Timing Control | Memory Context Restore: EnabledI also enabled: Advanced | AND CBS | UMC Common Options | DDR Options | DDR Memory Features | Memory Context Restore: Enabled

feel like i got cheated

i have this ram and it is bad. failed windows memory diags. constant bsod and random program and system crashes and restarts. brought it to your attention and was told to contact gskill and that it had a lifetime warranty though them. 5 months old and gskill will not answer an email (tried literally 225 times now). even tried fb messenger. you sold it to me... what are you going to do about it?
