Tests were performed on popular synthetic benchmarks and benchmarks included in popular games. The list consists of tests that tend to react well to memory performance. Older popular benchmarks and tests based on pure CPU performance were skipped as we wouldn’t see any difference.
Fans of Corsair products and the iCue RGB system won't need to be convinced to buy this kit. It looks fantastic, and though it won't set speed records, this kit should have many years of life ahead of it. You'll want to go with something faster if you must have every last drop of performance for a high-end rig, but for mainstream DDR5 buyers, Corsair won't let you down. As usual on AMD chipset, results are not as high as on Intel, but they’re still quite respectable. The Trident Z5 Neo performs well and reaches the bandwidth of DDR5-6200 memory kits. Additionally, you can count on about 64ns latency out of the box and low 50′ after tweaking. Most memory kits in the comparison couldn’t go below 70ns. PCMark10 PCMark 10 Firstly, you should use a dual-channel kit wherever possible. That goes for both DDR4 and DDR5 systems. That will ensure you're getting the most out of the best CPUs for gaming. For an Intel DDR5 system, a good kit around the 5200MHz range will be fine, while for a high-end system, you'll want something a little faster at 6000MHz or even 6400MHz if you really want to get every last drop of performance. Do I need RGB LEDs on my memory DIMMs? The EXPO profile worked perfectly fine on ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene and ASUS Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi motherboards. ASUS motherboards give us EXPO I and EXPO II options for optimized performance and compatibility, but the Trident Z5 Neo is equipped with only one EXPO profile. There is no need for more, as every motherboard should support 6000MT/s. The QVL for the tested memory kit includes multiple motherboards, but most are from higher series. The memory still should work on lower series motherboards as long as there is no problem with BIOS. If you have a good DDR4 kit, let's say a 2x16GB DDR4-3200 C14 kit or better, there's little reason to spend the money to upgrade to DDR5 for gaming.
One of the fastest AMD EXPO memory kits on the market
s is what AMD recommends for the latest Ryzen processor series, so the memory kit we are presenting perfectly matches the recommended specifications and the maximum capacity per module available. G.Skill DDR5 memory kits have been in stores for some months, but these, more interesting (read: higher speeds and low timings), were not released yet. The main reason for that seems to be the lower-than-expected capabilities of the current motherboards with the Z690 chipset, which may change with the premiere of the upcoming AMD and Intel chipsets later this year.
The Final Fantasy XV Benchmark breaks the trend visible in most other benchmarks. The higher the frequency, the higher the performance doesn’t hold here. Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Shadow of the Tomb Raider The height of the heatsinks is just right for most popular CPU coolers – 42mm (1.65 inches). It’s not such a big problem recently as most cooler manufacturers redesigned their products so they won’t interfere with tall RAM modules, and also liquid coolers are much more popular. The higher bandwidth of DDR5 is beneficial in other areas though, particularly in creative-type applications. DDR5 uses less power, 32GB is generally the baseline, and a DDR5 system is better for future-proofing. As time goes on, we can expect faster and lower latency kits. What platforms support DDR5 RAM?No, it won't. Even though both types have 288 pins, DDR4 and DDR5 memory is electrically incompatible. The two types have a different notch positions, to prevent anyone from inserting a DDR5 module into a DDR4 motherboard, or vice versa. How much RAM do I need?
Regardless, the Corsair kit performs at a decent level across our benchmark suite. The jump from the entry-level 4800MHz kits to 5200MHz is just enough to make a difference in apps that thrive on higher bandwidth. Of course, it trails the faster kits you would expect. During our testing, the Crucial kit threw up a few surprises, sometimes matching a 5200MHz kit thanks to its dual rank design. Add to that its low operating voltage and surprisingly good value for money, and it's a good solid kit for work or play. CL/CAS Latency - Column Access Strobe Latency is the delay between the memory controller requesting data from the RAM and the available data; the first number listed in a kit's timings. We recommend a minimum of 16GB for most serious gaming PCs (it's what we use in our high-end PC build), but as 32GB DDR5 kits are so widely available, 32GB has become the new baseline for a DDR5 system.With 32GB, you'll have more than enough for pretty much every task you can throw at your system. You'll easily be able to enjoy gaming, multitasking, creative or intensive apps, and frequent alt-tabbing. And you'll be all set for a few years to come, too. How fast should RAM be for a gaming PC? G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 memory modules are rated to work at 1.35V, which is about the upper limit for computers with limited or no additional airflow. This is also as much as competitive brands like ADATA or Team Group typically use for the same or not much higher frequency at CL40, suggesting that G.Skill trusts the Hynix IC more or uses better binned IC for their lower latency kits. G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 XMP ProfileKingston's Fury Beast kit eschews flashy RGB and huge heat sinks in favour of a design that's subtle and discrete. If your PC is sitting under a desk, out of sight and mind, do you really need a lot of bling?
Even though we see higher memory frequencies, DDR5-6000 is a sweet spot for all users. Its frequency is high enough to deliver outstanding results and low enough to be compatible with an overwhelming majority of Z690 and B660 motherboards on the market. I could say it’s a perfect balance for all those who wish exceptional performance but don’t want to worry about compatibility. There were no problems with the tested memory kits on three different motherboards. The XMP profile and RGB illumination worked perfectly fine. G.Skill is one of the most popular brands, so motherboard manufacturers tend to provide long-standing support and improved BIOS’.
Third-party software support and compatibility depends on software version and operating environment, and are subject to change without notice. The Final Fantasy XV Benchmark shows better results on the Trident Z5 Neo memory. On the other hand, we won’t get much better scores at faster RAM settings in this benchmark. Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Shadow of the Tomb Raider The memory timings wouldn't go below the rated values at DDR5-6000, even at 1.435V. The tRAS could run at 72 instead of 76, but that was all. Optimization margins were almost non-existent on the Vengeance RGB DDR5 memory kit, at least on our sample. Bottom Line
Great Deal
