G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-28800 DDR4 3600 CL18-22-22-42 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C18D-16GTZR

These things look quite nice, as you might expect, with a reasonably high RGB LED density under the light diffuser, two-tone heat spreaders and pleasing design. The memory itself is also high perfoamance, running at 3200MHZ with tight latency timings. Note that you will have to go in to your motherboard settings and manually set up the memory speed, either directly or through the XMP profile. Please note, however, that I run a Ryzen system - I wasn't aware of this before I made this purchase and had to do a lot of troubleshooting, but Ryzen systems (particularly 1st gen) do not play nice with high speed memory. After much tweaking and overvolting, mine runs stable but only at 3066Mhz. I am not factoring this in to my review score, as this was a lack of research and user error on my part - but if you are buying this for a Ryzen system, consider saving money and buying the 3000Mhz kit instead. Most ryzen systems flake out above a memory frequency of 2988Mhz or so, so buying a 3200Mhz set of memory is likely to not work properly at its rated speeds unless they are made specifically for Ryzen - which these are not. The silicon lottery does factor in to this, so you might be able to get high speed memory to work fine for you, but I could not.

I’ve had these sticks in my pc for nearly 5 years now and recently got another 2 for a upgrade and can definitely say they are some of the best looking ram sticks. Personally I didn’t manage to control the rgb but even on its default cycle it’s really mesmerising in your build. Performance has always been good in my pc and would recommend to anyone looking for something to spice up your build.

I got this kit (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) to go with my Ryzen 1700, in my MSI x370 Gaming Plus board, despite the RAM not being on the QVL for the board, similar sets from G.Skill were. The RAM works with XMP perfectly. Simply slotted in to the board, fired up into the BIOS changed XMP setting and done, 3200mhz. Really simple to do if you know what you're doing in system BIOS. The RGB is nice with 5 addressable lights per stick. The software uses ASUS Aora software so easily ties in for those of you with an ASUS board. I saw a 300 point boost in Cinebench which is nothing to be sniffled at. Definitely will be adding another set come payday. The only downside for me, was not even a week after this kit dropped £15.

Great RAM. Works very efficiently when playing any AAA title. LED is very prominent however i’ve had some issues when trying to set the colours up. Software is not great but other than that, product is excellent.

I bought two of these kits for 32 GB of RAM for my MSI Z390 motherboard and Intel 9700K CPU. These DIMMs look beautiful and feel sturdy, they're very well made. They're not the cheapest on the market, but they're excellent quality. No trouble hitting the advetised speed just by enabling XMP mode in the BIOS. Stress tested using OCCT, memtest, y-cruncher and some Doom Eternal for hours and they passed with no errors. RGB LEDs work as advertised and I can control them using my motherboard's own RGB lighting control software, which is very convenient. Highly recommended.

Runs amazingly, looks perfect. The lights don't sync on my pc but I can look past it as they run perfectly

G.Skill is quality, and these do look the part, the rainbow glow is really nice, just to add a touch of jour ne sais quoi. They should try making some fake memory ones just to allow you to fill all the slots, but still, offer the LED effect, and stop any dust getting inside unused slots. Not everyone needs to use all the slots on motherboards, for me, I have four slots, and I really only needed to use two, and give me two more for future upgrades.

Looked at various Ram modules for my new build and very happy to have decided on these little beuties. RGB's are stunning and sync up perfectly with my Strix Z270E and Strix GTX1080. They are weighty and feel like they have been made to a very high standard. Enabled the XMP Profile on my mobo and booted to 3200mhz with no issues at all. Considring another 16gb now just to fill the gaps.
