G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 32GB 7200MHz (2024) Review

G.Skill's Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 memory line is an extensive one with a wide range of speeds and four kit capabilities so there should be a kit for most people. The line-up which supports Intel XMP 3.0 starts at 5200MHz (40-40-40-83 1.10V) with eleven-speed options up to the current flagship 8400MHz (40-52-52-1341.40V). There are four capacity options, (all using two modules per kit) 96GB, 64GB, 48GB and 32GB with varying speed options per capacity.

The kit we are looking at here sits in the middle of the speed range at 7200MHz. The F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RK is a 32GB kit that uses SK Hynix A-die memory chips. It runs natively at DDR5-4800 with timings of 40-40-40-77 (1.10V)  but the single Intel XMP 3.0 profile bumps this up to 7200MHz combined with 34-45-45-115 timings at 1.4V.

The modules are 42mm high giving a wider range of compatibility with air coolers and motherboards. And while the RGB light bar is slimmer than many other modules, the LEDs are very bright, making their presence felt. The LEDs can be controlled by G.Skill's own Trident Z Lighting Control utility which can be downloaded from the G.Skill site. Or if you prefer to use your motherboard controlling software then most of the 3rd party software is catered for with support for ASRock Polychrome Sync, Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync and Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0.

We found the 32GB G.Skill F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RK kit on special offer (saving 12%) at Overclockers UK for £149.99 (inc VAT) HERE.
