We also tested the memory in an AMD-based system. We will be testing the memory kit performance with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, MSI MPG X670E Carbon WiFi motherboard and a GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC graphics card. The processor is maintained at its stock frequency.

Test System

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X.
• CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360.
• Motherboard: MSI MPG X670E Carbon WiFi.
• Graphics card: GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC.
• Power supply: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850W.
• SSD: MSI SPATIUM M570.
• Case: MSI MPG GUNGNIR 300P AIRFLOW.
• OS: Windows 11.

Thanks to MSI for providing the test system above.

Memory Benchmarks

AIDA64

With a read result of 59,089MB/s, the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 7200 sits in fourth place in our results graph but its write result of 88,308MB/s is the second fastest of the DDR5 sets tested here behind Corsair's Dominator Titanium 6000.

Memory Mark

The drive sits in second place in the Memory Mark Read Cached chart with a result of 42,123MB/s. However, its Read Uncached result of 38,572MB/s is the fastest of the group of modules tested here.

While the Memory Mark Read Cached and Read Uncached are impressive, its Memory Mark Write result is less so.

The latency performance of all the tested modules is closely matched with only a 5ns difference between the slowest (Kingston Fury Beast 5200 C36) and the fastest, Corsair's Dominator Titanium 6000 C30.
