G.Skill's TridentZ series is truly a work of art. The heatsink design is spectacular, with huge blocks of metal on either side of the stick matched by aesthetics that show true class in engineering beauty. This new update to G.Skill's long-loved Trident line-up truly takes things to the next level, and few will deny it the respect it deserves.

If we take a look at the benchmark results, the weakness of this particular TridentZ kit becomes immediately evident. It simply doesn't have enough capacity for a modern Windows10 environment. When it comes to the benchmarks where memory capacity has little effect, this kit takes the top spot without a doubt. However, without the capacity needed, no huge amounts of bandwidth or excellent low latency will make up for what this kit lacks. The bright side of all of this is that these sticks truly are fast and do come in a four-stick kit that should overcome the two-stick kit's shortcomings.

G.Skill's TridentZ kits are hard to beat. If you want to get the best, look no further. If you are into benchmarking, you know that you'll end up with one of these kits; a kit so capable few motherboards can maximize what G.Skill's TridentZ kits have on offer. From good looks to incredible speeds, G.Skill's TridentZ kits are fantastic for sure, which makes this particular 8 GB kit a bit underwhelming in today's compute environments. Yet any kit with just 8 GB will do the same. Just be advised that if you want to get top-level performance along with great looks, 8 GB isn't going to cut it these days, and you do need 16 GB at least. Bought a set and need some help setting it up? Let me know in the forums!!
