The RAM comes in a black (with some red accents) cardboard box with a name (and logos).

Information about capacity and frequency is printed on the stickers put back of the pack. Let’s check what’s inside.

After opening the box – you can find two modules placed in a plastic cover.

The TridentZ5 kit (which consists of two 16 GB modules running at 5600 MHz) has a very elegant look with a mainly silver matte (with a black bar in the middle) aluminum shroud. The PCB is black, and XMP version 3.0 is supported. The radiators are integrated with the PCB using an adhesive pad on each side, and dismantling them would require significant strength (or heating up with a hairdryer for a longer period), so I did not do this. I did not recommend it either (as it would void the warranty). The stickers on the backside tell you that this is a 2 x 16 GB kit operating at 5600 MHz, with CL36, at 1.2 Volts. This should be more than enough for the typical user/gamer, and it can come in handy for you if you process video or graphics. We recommend sticking to the settings from the preconfigured XMP profile for optimal performance.

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.
