CONCLUSION

    Every other kit in the charts was tested with XMP 3.0 and on the Intel Core 13900K & EVGA Z790 DARK test rig so even though some test suites (AIDA64, Passmark and MaxxMem2) are quite accurate others (Sisoftware Sandra, WPrime and Cinebench which I didn’t include because it’s the one most influenced by the CPU) are not and so even though recorded numbers can still give you an idea about this kit you shouldn’t do a direct comparison with the other kits. If other EXPO only kits arrive in the lab, I’ll place them in different charts to make it easier for everyone but 1 kit alone in its charts just wouldn’t look right. With that out of the way the Trident Z5 Royal NEO 6000MHz CL28 Dual-Channel Kit did well. Yes, just like with past motherboard chipsets AMD does fall back Intel in RAM performance (overall, not in all tests) but still CL28 at 6GHz is a very good combination for AMD users, especially for all those who have RAM compatibility issues with their motherboards. Overclocking headroom wasn’t great when using the same timings but if you’re willing to increase them this kit could probably do 7GHz with ease (that would be missing the entire point for this kit however). As for design I’ve always thought that the Royal line by G.SKILL looked unique, and I still think so which is why I’ll be trying to get more models from that line in the lab.

    G.SKILL announced the Trident Z5 Royal NEO ultra-low latency kits just over a month ago and so currently you can find the silver 32GB CL28 Dual-Channel kit for USD165.93 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 170Euros inside the EU, a price tag which is actually very good for such a unique DDR5 kit. At the end of the day this may not be the fastest EXPO kit out in the market today but it’s the ideal solution for people with motherboards that have issues with high speed kits and since performance, quality, looks and even price all check out the Trident Z5 Royal NEO 6000MHz CL28 Dual-Channel Kit clearly deserve the Golden Award.
