G.Skill Flare DDR3 2000 MHZ C7 AMD kit review - Product Gallery

With expensive memory often come a some extra's. G.Skill offers a life-time warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that. Look at the heat spreaders, it's fairly unusual to see a design like that. One thing is a sure fact, you either like or hate the aesthetics. The green PCB bothers me a little though. Styling wise that's a missed opportunity.

G.Skill Flare memory kit

The heatspreader is designed to enhance heat dissipation allowing better tweaks and overclocks. As a result this is not low profile memory though. The idea is that heat is moved away from the actual memory chips and this increases potential overclocking and stability. And in combo with the Turbulence memory fan the results could be wicked.

The kits will be sold with a G.Skills memory fan to decrease the system temperatures and provide further overclocking headroom during tweaking. The fan is quite silent, but the extra tweak potential always will be a little relative. We assume that if you build a PC with such high-end components, your chassis airflow would not be an issue either. It's definitely a nice stylish item that will look great in any PC.

One note to G.Skill, the compatible ASUS M4A89TD PRO, ASUS M4A89GTD PRO and ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 motherboards are all blue/white themed. How nice would it have been to have matched the DIMMs in the same colors ?

G.Skill TridentZ 5 DDR5 5600 CL36 review
G.Skill has prepared very well for launching a new memory standard and has presented three DDR5 series: the Trident Z5 (5600-6400 MHz), the Trident Z5 RGB (the same range as the non-RGB’s), and the Ripjaws S5 (5200-5600 MHz). They all come in 32 GB kits (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz. Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ5 5600 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit. It’s not the high-end of the series, as even the 6400 MHz CL32 are available, and the 5600 MHz is the lowest frequency you can get from this DDR5 family.

G.Skill Z5i (Mini ITX) chassis review
This time, we're checking out the G.Skill Z5i, the first chassis from a company known the most from the RAM. Some can remember that there's an AIO (Enki) available, as well as the keyboards (like KM360), mice (and mousepad), headsets, or PSUs. The attempt is made in a not-so-popular segment, meaning the Mini-ITX (so that's one of the reasons for the mentioned limit). This choice is a brave one as it's not so easy to create a good product here. Yes, it's gaining the share, but the ATX is dominating (maybe we'll also see something from G.Skill?).
