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

Product Information

Within the enthusiast PC community, there’s been a whole lot of buzz about dual-rank memory modules and how they offer superior performance for some benchmarks and games. I will investigate the overclock potential not just because it’s fun, but because it has real-world implications and can help with the productivity of daily tasks.

For the third and final overclocking attempt we wanted to see what the maximum frequency would be without sacrificing timings too much to do so. These new memory specifications provide increased efficiency with low latency at exceptionally high-frequency speeds. Simply put, this means there are ICs on both sides of the memory PCB for better interleaving and thus better performance. While overclocking the system memory is not for everyone, rest assured that it’s not only possible, but also quite easy with this kit of memory.

Benchmark programs allow us to examine the performance gain or loss from making changes to the various computer components such as the CPU, GPU, or memory. The reason they can offer memory with impressive specifications is because of their memory IC screening process.

When purchasing DDR4 memory, the main factors to consider, other than memory size or physical features, are the operating frequency and timings. The lid hinges up to reveal the Trident Z Royal candy hiding below for an all-around excellent unboxing experience. Skill’s Trident-Z Royal up against the latest DDR4-3200 RGB kits available from Teamgroup, Adata, and Gigabyte.With considerable risk of damaging the memory and voiding the warranty, you might be asking yourself if it’s worth it. Focusing on the total score, we see that the ‘real world’ benchmark results look similar to AIDA64, but with a bigger emphasis on timings. RAM performance can largely be determined by looking at the core clock speeds (both standard and XMP tested), as well as latency ratings.

G.Skill’s answer to the growing demand for system memory is nothing less than we expected from the company.While the RGB lighting can be synchronized on the motherboard, our lit-up image instead uses a custom USB-powered jewelry box that G. As is the case with all overclocking adventures, your results may vary, so proceed only if you assume all risk. The overall objective is to evaluate the memory under a variety of different conditions in an effort to evaluate performance for daily life tasks. Here we take a look at what can be accomplished by voiding the warranty and taking overclocking to an extreme level.
