G.Skill Introduces 5 New Color Schemes to Trident Z Series DDR4 Memory

btarunr · May 6, 2016

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is introducing 5 new color schemes to the highly popular extreme performance Trident Z series to select specifications. Aside from the classic Trident Z design of silver and black brushed aluminum heatspreader with a red top-bar highlight, the new color schemes include a black brushed aluminum body paired with orange, yellow, or white top-bar or a silver brushed aluminum body with white or black top-bar.

With a rise in popularity of modding and cases with window designs, these 5 new Trident Z color schemes are developed for enthusiasts, gamers, and modders who not only wish to include high performance memory in their systems, but also to add attractive visual appeal and show off their unique selection of hardware. Available in yellow, orange, white, and black highlights, these new color schemes pair exceedingly well with modern motherboard designs based on the X99 and Z170 chipsets.

These new colors are expected to be available at the end of May 2016. At launch, the new color schemes will be available in select specifications only. Please see the chart below for details.

Looking good !

So I guess this RAM gets a 10 out of 10 score instead of your dismal 9.9 you gave for being available only in red. Well a played G. Skill

Now, all they need to do is sell the different color bars as standalone accessories, and they'd be perfect.

I would buy a pair of centre plastic strips in black if they sold them separate (and weren't taking the piss with pricing)

I have a maximus viii ranger and the red strip on the original design really stands out (partly because its horrible shiny plastic)

That's beautiful. Cannot find here any C14 modules, only C16 and much more expensive...

Finally they remembered how can good design more adapted to customers . I was already thinking about 3D engraving on my own.

And this years motherboard colour scheme will be... well, something entirely different most likely so they have to come out with a new set of colours as soon as the new motherboards are out...

Love me some G.Skill, but wasn't too much of a fan of the designs (looking at you, Ripjaws 4). This design is choice though.
