I'm having a hard time deciding between these three kits any feedback would be appreciated.





Whatever kit I end up choosing it will replace my shitty Corsair RGB PRO CJR kit that I will be giving away to a buddy I'm doing a 10600k or 10700k build for.

As far as functionality goes i can't offer you any meaningful feedback because i don't have a clue. They all look really nice (i would hope so for the price lol) but i think the royal kits looks a little better than the Neo ones. May i ask what is "shitty" about your current corsair ones?

The 3800 c14 is probably the same ic at 4000 c15, so I'd get the 3800c14 x4 ftw.

Based on the review on this Site The Trident Z Royal DDR4-4000MHz CL17 is already pre overlocked and even with raising voltage they couldn't get much more out of them.

The Trident Z Royal DDR4-4000MHz CL15 have a very high base Voltage already at 1.5V doubt there is much room either here. Some even say needs active cooling from a fan.

The Trident Z Neo DDR4-3800MHz CL14 ""Designed and tested for AMD Ryzen 3000 series CPUs"" ""Optimized compatibility with AMD X570 chipset "" you are going to use your

new sticks on Intel right?

its a 3200 CL16 kit that is pretty bad.... I have 2 3200 CL14 kits that are much better.

Not sure yet I have 2 3200 CL14 kits that do 3800 CL16 at 1.38v that I may move to my intel system..... I plan on messing around with this kit on both my Asus maximus 11 Code and my Crosshair VIII Hero

If you're going to be overclocking you should already know that 2 sticks are going to go further than 4.

Not beyond 4000..... My plan is either to tighten the timings at 4000 on my intel system or see how low I can get 3800 on my Ryzen system manually.

I just pulled them straight from google no idea otherwise.

I've seen the 4000 CL15 kit do 3800 13-13-13-28 on a ryzen system so its interesting to me..... The 3800 CL14 I'm more curious to see if it just works out of the box on my Ryzen system.... I have zero doubts it will work on my intel system.

Not actually paying for whatever kit I pick so not really worried about the cost but these are the 3 kits I have to pick from.

Hello everyone, thanks for all the feedback and votes. Ended up going with the 4000 CL15 4x8 32gb kit as it was also offered after I originally made this post I figured it was a no brainer considering it didn't cost me anything and given that the 3800 CL14 kit won and they're likely the same it lined up with the general consensus here.
