Review on ๐Ÿ’ก G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Memory (F4-3600C18D-16GTZR) by Marco Roberson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slower RAM speeds than expected

I couldn't get speeds above 3200MHz even though my processor supports speeds up to 3600MHz. Anything over 3200MHz prevented my computer from booting into the BIOS, which was very strange and caused some troubleshooting issues. Mb is rog strix z390-I and cpu is i5-8600k 6 core 3.6ghz but can work up to 4.0ghz. Overall the RGB sticks look fantastic and maybe I did something wrong or misunderstood. You need to enable xmp and most likely you need to manually change the ram frequency as needed. I just want people to see this so they know to do more research and make sure their MB and CPU are handling RAM properly.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • No performance
