G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 3600MHz Review

👤by Matthew Hodgson Comments 📅08-10-19
Conclusion
Well it’s easy to see that the numbers definitely speak for themselves, with the Trident Z Neo topping way more charts than any other kit, despite being technically slower than most of the graph, testament to what can be achieved by producing a kit that boasts both a high frequency and tight timings, something that the AMD X570 platform clearly enjoys.

Bolstering that performance is the way that AMD’s Infinity Fabric is woven into the CPU, operating at a 1:1 ratio with the underlying DRAM frequency at anything up to 1866MHz (3733MHz DDR), so the 3600MHz kits being released by manufacturers at the moment are a perfect fit for the 3800X we test with, in terms of extracting everything from the IF.

The RGB lighting is excellent and definitely a key selling point for those who like their systems to shine. The diffuser strips along the top do their jobs remarkably well and thanks to built-in RGB sync, our motherboard paired up perfectly from the outset.

Build quality is also well up there, with a premium look and feel that can genuinely add to the appearance of your system, and thanks to its neutral colour scheme, it shouldn’t be difficult to marry these modules into any theme.

Pricing is a bit of a sticking point unless you’re heart-set on the RGB lighting and heatspreaders, with competing 3600MHz kits from the likes of Corsair and Team Group available for considerably less, if you forego the RGB of course.


If you’re an enthusiast looking for excellent performance with beautiful RGB to match, we can definitely recommend the Trident Z Neo kit but if it’s just speed you’re after, better deals are available.

Pros
+ Solid build quality
+ Gorgeous RGB lighting
+ Neutral design blends into any build with ease
+ Fantastic performance

Cons
- Expensive, but arguably worth it
