DDR5 Trident Z Royal

nomdeplume · Tuesday at 12:48 PM

Much as I hate to admit to considering RGB anything. Ooooh so shiny in places I'll never see outside of product images. :laugh:

Is there any real world benefit to found in Trident Z5 Royal above the other G.Skill lines? Higher binning, better OC, great cooling with minimal airflow, or just continues reputation of being stable with no real exciting performance gains to be found.

I love my Rpyals, they give my other sticks such a hard spank.

How so, If I might ask.
Searches are turning up SK HYNIX memory but nothing definitive between A or M die.

FreeAgent has DDR4 B-die Royals, not DDR5.
IMO the Royals are the Ricardo Montalban (Billy Crystal) of memory stick heatsinks.

The royals are just another name with higher speeds that are more or less just a number without the performance expected of such speeds.

I'd say go patriot if you want performance, if it's just about the shiny, I can't argue against the royals.

Was 90% sure that was the case. What little consensus I've seen among those chasing enthusiast performance is that G.Skill DDR5 has not been thrilling.

Stability can't be underrated for daily use system. Also Intel systems aren't showing a massive difference between 6000 and XMP 7400 (both low latency) in most games. Not sure Klevv will be immune to failure, but that is probably what I'll go with.

It's just if you love the look for sure otherwise there are other similarly performing or even better performing options at lower prices.

I'll still likely grab some at some point got a nice set of bdie ddr4 royals.

No brand is, of course, but I def give Klevv a leg up being Hynix's in-house brand. My experience with their products has been flawless so far.

That is some nice looking RAM. Pricey and Shiny!

Cl30/Cl32 6xxx memory is seeing a lot of price drops down to near parity across all options. Was looking at 6800 Teamgroup with second 6000 profile and noticed 6400 (single profile) Trident Z Royal around $100 mark. Of course Royal went back to "But Expensive" pricing during business hours today before I could make up my mind.

Klevv is probably the de facto choice here anyways.
