G.SKILL TridentZ 3200MHZ (C14) DDR4 Memory
High performance - High volume - Low Latency - F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ 32 GB memory kit

We review  32GB of TridentZ DDR4 memory from G.Skill. It's fast and runs 3200 MHz worth of XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel platforms as well. This quad-channel memory was optimized for Intel platforms on Z170 and X99, obviously with four 8GB DIMMs, ideal for a quad-channel 32 GB setup.

DDR4 memory modules you can choose plenty from, the cheap but dull all green Kingston Value memory for example works absolutely fine. Then the regular mainstream DIMMs, then step it up a little and say high-frequency memory is a hint faster and often cooler looking inside your PC with the fancy designs and heatspreaders. Then there's enthusiast grade memory for the performance enthusiasts, which is what we will look at as G,SKILL has released TridentZ series memory, the successor to their TridentX series on the (back then) DDR3 platform. The DIMMs we received from them clock in at an amazing 3200 MHz (effective), considering that a lot of you run your memory at 2133 MHz and for DDR3 actually 1600 MHz, that's nearly double the memory frequency. But how will that relate to performance? 

Stylish RAM memory for the people that need fast performance, the people that build their own PCs, perhaps customize it a little. In that mindset G.SKILL released an updated SKU based on quality, performance and aesthetics. Not the cheapest, but pretty cool with great looks and frequencies rating up to even PC4-25600 (3200 MHz) that can be enabled with a simple XMP profile in your BIOS. We received a dual channel kit, 32GB of it .. configured over 4 DIMMs thus holding 8 GB each. Rated PC4-25600 / 3200MHz at CAS latency 14, and sure this has to be one of the coolest looking memory kit anno 2016. The end results will be very interesting as we'll simply take this memory seated on a Core i7 6950 Extreme  / X99 Intel chipset setup and evaluate it to the baseline performance of other chipsets/processors and their respective reference baseline performance.

G.skill is offering the kits with clock speed of the memory modules ranges up-to a scorching 3200 MHz these days with varying CL timings running as tight as 14 these days. As such we test the 'faster' CL14 version, their DDR4 3200MHz CL14-14-14-34 32GB (4x8GB) 1.35V kit . Depending on the what platform you use it, it is a dual-channel kit. Have a peek at the awesomeness first.
