G.SKILL has released its Trident Z DDR4 4333MHz memory modules which are meant to operate at a brain melting 4333MHz frequency, however they are not destined to be wielded by just any mortal, currently only ASRock's overclocking oriented motherboard - Z170M OC Formula has what it takes to support these memory DIMMs.

Frank, marketing manager from G.SKILL further illustrated, "G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 4333MHz memory kit is specifically designed for extreme overclocking on the latest ASRock Z170M OC Formula motherboard and 6th Gen Intel Core Processors. Using only specially selected performance components, it is the speediest DDR4 memory kit on the market today that pushes the Z170 platform to its extreme limits."

ASRock Z170M OC Formula might be an mATX sized Skylake motherboard, yet the compact PCB layout possesses a lot more computing power than your average build. Designed by the enigmatic overclocker Nick Shih, it features a server grade ten layer PCB design that results in interference-less signals, which is especially beneficial for memory signals. Overclockers who are dead serious about breaking limits may find ASRock Z170M OC Formula on Newegg.

Not sure the bandwidth increase would make much difference as 2133 and above does, and GDDR5 probably relies on much shorter signal paths than DDR4 does, hence why we don't see GDDR5 DIMMs...
