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

 
The front of the box that the memory comes in has a cut-out near the top, allowing you to see part of one of the modules. Below this are two illustrations of what the memory looks like. The bottom left of the box is home to the Intel XMP 3.0 Ready” sticker along with the Trident Z5 RGB branding. The rear of the box has two more cutouts (top and bottom) which lets you see the SKU sticker attached to the module. To the right of the bottom cut-out is the product sticker that displays the module density, configuration and what the XMP profile provides.

The heat spreaders on the modules are made from aluminium finished in (in the case of the review sample) matt black. Matt white and metallic silver finishes are available. Setting off the main finish, the centre strip of the module which holds the product name has a brushed aluminium finish. The spreaders give the module a height of 42mm. The modules are a single-rank design, under the heatsink, there are eight 2GB SK Hynix chips (H5CG48AEBDX018 – A-die) along with a Richtek RTQ5132GQW power management IC (PMIC).

The top of the module is home to the RGB defuser bar which covers eight RGB zones which are controlled by either G.Skill's own controller software or by the motherboard RGB system.

The memory runs at DDR5-4800 with timings of 40-40-40-77 natively with the single XMP 3.0 profile supporting DDR5-7200 with 34-45-45-115 timings at 1.4V.
