CONCLUSION
G.SKILL has been behind some of the best RAM kits to hit the market as far back as I can remember and the Trident Z5 RGB 7200MHz CL34 Dual-Channel Kit is no exception. Stock performance is very good and as for overclocking headroom 8GHz at 1.45V is a great result, especially with these timings (since from this review i moved from the Radeon RX 7900 XT i've been using to the GeForce RTX 4070 i also added Achieved FPS in my Forza Horizon 5 charts). Being able to choose between 3 dozen or so kits available in black, white and silver color (alas not all of them) is also a great thing G.SKILL has going for their Trident Z5 RGB line. Now if i had to nitpick my sole concern would be that this kit is only XMP 3.0 compatible so it may not be ideal for AMD systems (EXPO) but i did test it on my X670E Taichi/Ryzen 7900X rig and it worked without issue (still that might not be the case with every motherboard out there).
With a current price tag placed at USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 156.37Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Trident Z5 RGB 32GB DDR5 7200MHz CL34 Dual-Channel Kit by G.SKILL is priced extremely well. At the end of the day I really can’t find anything wrong with the Trident Z5 RGB kit at hand, performance is very good at stock, overclocking headroom couldn’t be better really and as for price G.SKILL has once again done their best and so the Golden award is in order.
