Review on πŸ’‘ G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4266 Desktop Memory - F4-4266C19D-16GTZR Review & Buying Guide by Brian Avila

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works with ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero Z390 / i9-9900k

Works with BOIS timings (SPD) and voltage (1.2V). To get the advertised performance, you need to tweak the DDR4 clock, timing, and voltage (some reviewers didn't). Usage is printed on the packaging; CL19-19-19-19 v1.40 I was only able to get 4000 (instead of 4266) which is really good when I read the reviews. Mo/Bo only fits 4266 OC. Using the published timings and voltages, the memory runs more or less stably at 3900MHz. Keep in mind I only use two memory sticks and all QVL DDR4 4266 and 4400 speeds were 4-DIMM. Increasing the DDR4 drive and current limit didn't seem to affect the maximum clock speed. At some point it is counterproductive to increase the timings to achieve higher DDR4 clock speeds.

Pros
  • Memory clock 4266MHz, PC4-34100, 288 pins per module
Cons
  • Price
