G.Skill Trident Z NEO RGB 16GB DDR4 3600MHz Gaming Desktop RAM Review
The G.Skill Trident Z NEO 16GB is the latest iteration of G.Skill's Trident series, which has become a household name in the enthusiast circle. G.Skill markets the Trident Z Neo towards AMD's Ryzen 3000-series(opens in new tab) (codename Matisse) processors and the corresponding AMD X570 platform. That said, Intel owners can also tap into the Trident Z Neo's prowess without hiccups.
The Trident Z Neo lineup offers frequencies that span between DDR4-2666 and DDR4-3800, which might be a bit conservative for serious enthusiasts. Capacity-wise, the Trident Z Neo series does come in both dual- and quad-channel configurations, with capacities up to 128GB, though.
The Trident Z Neo series are a spinoff of G.Skill's Trident Z series, so it doesn't come as a shock that both series share similar aesthetics. G.Skill's characteristic tri-fin design returns once again, but the company revamped the heat spreader's color theme. Instead of a single solid color, the Trident Z Neo flexes a dual-toned combination where half of the heat spreader is dipped in silver to contrast the black portion of the heat spreader.
The Trident Z Neo modules stand 44mm (1.73 inches) tall, so they should fit under the majority of CPU air coolers. An RGB LED diffuser with customizable lighting adds a bit of bling to the Trident Z Neo modules, and G.Skill provides its proprietary Trident Z Lighting Control software for user customization.
If you don't fancy having another piece of software installed on your system, Trident Z Neo is compatible with multiple motherboard lighting software suites, including Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.
The kit, specifically model F4-3600C14D-16GTZNB, arrives in a dual-channel form with two single-rank 8GB memory modules. G.Skill fabricates the Trident Z Neo modules on a 10-layer black PCB that carries Samsung B-Die ICs that sport the K4A8G085WB-BCPB part number.
At stock, the Trident Z Neo modules operate at DDR4-2133 with 15-15-15-36 timings. However, they come with a XMP profile, which puts them in DDR4-3600 mode at 14-15-15-35 and ups the voltage to 1.45V. As usual, you can get the memory to run at its advertised frequency in no time on XMP-compatible platforms.
