Pros

  • Great aesthetic design
  • Doesn’t compromise on performance
  • Well rounded product

Cons

  • Price

With so much competition in the RAM department, G.SKILL has truly stepped up their game. They have come up with products to cater to all types of consumers in the market. From Premium to Budget range, they boast a versatile inventory.

This time, I am reviewing the mid-range G.Skill’s Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30. The RAM kit comes to the market with support for the AMD Ryzen Processors and hence comes with EXPO. 

When AMD chose to launch newer processors and provide support for the newer DDR5 platform, there weren’t many options to choose from regarding RAM kits. Now there are more and this Memory kit is here to give a tough time to the competition.

So without waiting further, let’s dive straight into the review!

We have also tested and reviewed the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 32GB DDR5-6600 CL34 Kit – it is very similar to the Neo variant except that it supports XMP profiles instead of EXPO.


Key Takeaways

  • The G.Skill’s Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 is a well-rounded RAM that not only performs great but also doesn’t lag in the aesthetics department. 
  • You should buy the G.Skill’s Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 if you are looking for a price-performance product and don’t want to break the bank either. 
  • The only reason to skip the Trident Z5 Neo RGB is if your current DDR5 kit works great with AMD builds.

Here are the key specifications

Tested Frequency 6000MHz
Tested Latency CL30
RGB Yes
Color Black
Memory Voltage 1.350V
Rated Frequency 4800MHz
XMP Yes
EXPO Yes
Warranty Limited Lifetime

I will be testing the 2×16 GB 6000 MHz kit as AMD claims that 6000 MHz is the sweet spot for its 7000 series processors. It comes with the 30-38-38-96 timings at 1.35 V.

How Is The G.Skill’s Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 Different?

It’s a tough competition with so many DDR5 RAM options right now. However, there aren’t more well-rounded Memory kits than G.Skill’s Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30. It has the juice under the hood to push your PC to the limit and dishes performance at a high level. While doing all that, it doesn’t disappoint in the aesthetics department either. If you want the best of both worlds, then this RAM should be considered.

The following contents are provided:

  • 2x DIMM Modules

Design

G.SKILL ships this Memory Kit in black as well, just like the G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5-6000, However, the difference is that it comes with an RGB diffuser covering the whole length of the RAM making sure that it looks good once you install it in your PC.

They are available in capacities as follows:

  • 2x16GB

We are using the mentioned configuration for RAM testing:

The following software has been used for the testing:

You can see the CPU-Z Screenshot below. The data that we can see is that the kits appear to be in a dual-channel configuration. CPU-Z confirms that the memory kit is operating at 4800 MHz, at 36-40-42-30, timings. Nonetheless, the rest of the tests we did were with EXPO mode at 6000 MHz.

G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB DDR5 Test Results

We always test our RAMs with synthetic and gaming benchmarks so that our audience becomes aware and can make an informed decision when they’re looking to buy a Memory kit. These are the RAMs that we tested:

Let’s start with the AIDA64 benchmark results. It performs pretty decently, lagging only behind the much more expensive Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5 2x 16GB @6000 CL30. But it comes out ahead of the G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5 2x 16GB @6000 CL32.

In the Cinebench R23 CPU benchmark, it lags behind the other two and is beaten by 3 points by the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5 2x 16GB @6000 CL30. It might perform a bit differently in other PC configurations, but it will return a similar score.

Gaming Benchmarks

Next up are the Gaming Benchmarks that we tested on the G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB DDR5 kit. We ran and tested the RAM in Cyberpunk 2077, Apex Legends, and Black Myth Wukong. The RAM gave decent FPS and it performed quite close as compared to the rest of the competition you can find the results below: 

Should You Buy It?

Buy It If

✅  You want an overall well-rounded RAM: If you are a bit on the lower side in terms of budget but still want to buy an overall well-rounded RAM, that not only performs well but looks good too, then this RAM is for you!

✅ An RGB lover: If you like your memory kits to come with RGB and you want performance and as well as aesthetics in your build, then make sure you buy this RAM. 

Don’t Buy It If

❌ You’re already using an AMD DDR5 kit: Given how flawlessly the Trident Z5 Neo RGB performs – the only people I wouldn’t recommend this kit to are those who are already rocking an EXPO-supported DDR5 kit.

My Thoughts

If you want a RAM that has RGB and also doesn’t compromise on the performance, there isn’t a better choice than this one.

It’s a pure price-to-performance product and it does look good when it’s up and running on your PC. If you want more performance, then make sure you have deep pockets, because they will cost more.
