With looks fit for a king and performance to match, the Trident Z Royal from G.SKILL is back. This time featuring even better XMP specifications with impressive CL15 timings at 4000 MHz. This kit is not only fast, but also looks glamorous on your shelf or when installed.

Great review on some nice ram.

Just two problems...

1. The ram is gold coloured, when talking about the light bar it's called silver.

2. In the test system setup, the AMD cpu is called a 4000x.

Just some minor errors I noticed.
 
I want to see this tested with Ryzen 5000 but man that 1.5v is high.
 
I just purchased this too in silver F4-4000C15D-16GTRS. I love memory and i want the top and nicest for my upcoming Ryzen 5600X.
 
It almost seem like these were specifically designed for Ryzen 5000 series
Very cool.
 
I really like mine Silver variant though.... Using them with a 9900k Right now plan on using them with Ryzen 5000 at some point.

I honestly do not get it... why does G.Skill cover their best product(s) in unicorn puke and fairy dust?

Why can they not offer plain, matte black heatspreaders on their top tier kits, like they used to do with the TridentZ?

If all anyone cares about is looks, put the B.F.ugly heatspeaders on the crappy low-bin kits, and sell the good stuff with plain heatspreaders to those of us who care about performance, not sparkles and pretty lights.

@Black Haru do you ever fiddle with the tRFC? Your latencies always seem really high when testing on AMD and this is why I'm asking.
 
You should check your results for the "memory write speed" with AMD cpus. I think all your results are inaccurate.
Because i get 52622 with gskill 3400 CL14-14-14-14-30
Nobody on earth get results like yours.

My Ram can do 3800 CL14@1.45. Im sure it can do also 4000 CL15@1.5 although I dont have balls to raise that voltage and my 3900xt does not want 4000mhz ha ha

He's using a single CCX Ryzen 3000 chip this is a known characteristic of them.
 
I once bought dual kit of regular TridentZ for Asrock H370M-ITX/ac mobo only to find out that they are too thick/memory slots are too close to each other to fit them both. May not be the only ITX board having that problem.
 
I miss the old TPU voltage scaling chart they used to do for ram reviews. I liked seeing best clocks at stock 1.20V.

Fixed. Add to that it's a function of only having one CCD to connect to the IO die. Two CCD gets doubled write speed since there's two CCD connecting to said IOD.

Yeah what he said.... Thanks man.
 
I'd also add that single CCD chips were not hampered by the single connection to the IOD in general computing, games etc. That's why those chips were so popular.
 
INteresting. I bought some cheap DDR4. Crucial Ballistix Sport. XMP 3000. OC'ed it to 3733MHz (optimal for ZEN2 according to AMD), latencies to 16,19,19,19,39 and got 67,1ns latency and almost the same read/write/copy speeds. 53000MB,29800MB, 49400MB No need to waste money on this.

If you "overclock" that memory from 4 GHz to 3.8 GHz, you will get better latency with Zen 2, thanks to Infinity Fabric multiplier.
