Initial Setup

The G.SKILL Trident Z Neo sticks have relatively neutral color tones, but still manage to make a bold statement. They are a good match for the dark tones of my ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7 and the silver on my EVGA RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultra GPU.

The large RGB LED diffuser gives the G.SKILL Trident Z Neo a soft look without sacrificing any brightness. While nothing has quite captured my attention like G.SKILL's own Trident Z Royal RGB LEDs with that wonderful faceted diffuser, the Trident Z Neo maintain G.SKILL's tradition of smooth effects and great software support.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Samsung B-die on a ten-layer PCB. These should prove excellent for overclocking.
