Initial Setup

Once installed in my Intel test system, the G.SKILL Trident Z5 DDR5-6400 CL32 kit in all black is fairly neutral. It neither adds or subtracts visually from the system. G.SKILL does offer an RGB version with the same XMP profile for those who want a bit more glam inside the computer case.
