Fast, efficient, bright and reliable

The G.Skill TridentZ RGB16GB Kit is a fantastic RAM kit. Running at 3200MHz, this RAM flexes its muscles with whatever you throw at it. I have two of these kits for 32GB of RAM in my new Ryzen 7 1700 computer. Video rendering, video editing and streaming are VERY profitable with this fast and large amount of RAM. I originally received a kit (16GB) but found it just wasn't enough for my use case. With the second 16GB kit, I increased my performance by about 20% on the above tasks. LEDs were a big bust for me. Of course I don't need them, but. Yes, RGB LEDs are cool. If you download Asus Aura (even if you don't have an Asus motherboard, it doesn't matter) you can manage RGB RAM with lots of color options as well as some cool effects. Driving RGB LEDs in RAM is no easy feat, so there may be some timing issues here and there, but nothing major. - Fast - Good capacity - Vivid colors - Great aluminum heatsink design - Works smoothly with Ryzen, up to 3200MHz by default
