Initial Setup

With the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB memory installed, we can see how it looks paired with a white motherboard. In this example, it is the ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara edition. While an AMD setup might not be ideal for this specific memory kit, it does match well aesthetically. The RGB on G.SKILL has always been satisfactory and can be viewed from most angles without the LEDs being directly visible through the light diffuser.
