G.Skill Trident Z5 schwarz UDIMM 32GB Kit, DDR5-5600, CL36-36-36-76

The G.Skill kit that we checked provides a default frequency (5600 MHz) that will be enough for practically all users, and the XMP 3.0 profile makes life a lot easier. The stock performance is in a range of expected (very close to the high-end). There’s some headroom still available, so if you want more, you can try to overclock the memory even further. The reviewed kit on our Z690 platform made it possible to achieve 6200 MHz with CL36. It’s a great result; you need to remember that those are 16 GB modules. As we usually state – reproducibility is never guaranteed, and your results may vary. The low-profile heat spreader (42 mm), so you shouldn’t encounter any clearance problems with most air CPU coolers. The 32 GB option is a lot for most users nowadays. The price for this 2 x 16 GB kit is ~400 USD, which is expensive, but you need to remember that it’s high-end RAM and also from the (probably most) famous memory manufacturer. The current price for the DDR5s is very steep (mainly due to the shortage of the PMIC), and it still doesn’t look to be lower in the coming days. We can give G.Skill a “Guru3D Recommended” award for this very fast, overclockable, and capable kit. The only real downside (same as for the majority of the DDR5s) is the price that most users cannot accept for the moment, especially compared to the DDR4 kits, which don’t have much worse performance results (for now, at least compared to the current available DDR5 memories).
