G.SKILL Conquers 4000MHz Trident Z and Ripjaws V Series DDR4
G.SKILL are proud to announce two series of memory, designed for the 6th Gen Intel Core Processors and Z170 motherboards, Trident Z and Ripjaws V, including the incredible 4000MHz kit!!
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory, solid state storage, power supplies, and gaming peripherals, is extremely thrilled to announce the first retail memory kit to break through the 4000MHz barrier and two brand new memory series – the Trident Z and Ripjaws V series – with updated performance specifications designed for the latest 6th generation Intel Core Processors and Z170 motherboards!
Trident Z Extreme DDR4 Memory – It’s Over 4000!
The new Trident Z DDR4 memory is the successor to the high-end Trident memory series and making its debut on the latest DDR4 standard, designed and tested for the next generation Skylake-S platform! For the first time in the history of extreme memory kits, Trident Z is entering the arena with a 4000MHz memory kit, built with highest-end Samsung IC memory chips and validated on the ASRock Z170 OC Formula motherboard.
Featuring a single-piece design that allows direct heat dissipation from heatspreader to cooling fin, dual-color construction for the ultimate system builds, and extreme XMP 2.0 support for simple overclocking setup that ranges from DDR4-2800MHz all the way to DDR4-4000MHz, nothing else comes close to the brink of extreme. Built with exceptionally hand-screened IC chips selected through a secret process developed from years of overclocking experience, Trident Z is the premier of extreme performance.
Ripjaws V – New Design, New Colors, New Specs
With a new generation, comes a new heat spreader design concept. Game in style; work in style. Ripjaws V is the newest member of the classic performance Ripjaws family, featuring suave new looks in five illuminating colors: Blazing Red, Steel Blue, Radiant Silver, Gunmetal Gray, and Classic Black.
The Ripjaws V series DDR4 memory will be available in kits of various configurations and capacities, comprising of 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB modules with performance ranging from the standard 2133MHz to staggering 3733MHz at ultra-low voltages. The high-density 16GB single modules are manufactured from highly selected Samsung IC memory chips, packing both capacity and performance in a single module. And of course, all high performance kits are XMP 2.0 ready for easy BIOS tuning and setup, as well as rigorously tested under hours of grueling benchmarks and memory validation testing software on the latest motherboards from major motherboard vendors for maximum performance, compatibility, and stability.
With the updated new specifications, your next generation Skylake-S platform can run smoother than ever with more memory capacity options with the brand new Ripjaws V or Trident Z memory kits. See below for a range of specifications that will be available.

Why are we still measuring memory in MHz? Isn't it about time we switch to GHz?
Not only that, who's going to buy a 4000 kit and what is it going to cost...
Agreed.. The cost will most likely not be worth the marginal performance improvements that faster RAM gives you.
I'm very interested to see the timings on these modules. The frequency seems to be a hype term nowadays since the timings are equally important. Frequency only tells half the story.

epeen aside, i think really it would only be workstation builders that got for ram as crazy as this. doesn't the faster RAM help with content creation and/or CAD work?

jesus, those timings are so loose that you could fit a whole lotta dicks in there.

For single gpu setups yes,
But with 1866 ram @ 2000 I see avg of 5 fps increase with my SLI setup.
The bandwith is nice for running sli imho. Just feels smoother then my X58 setup did. And X58 was 6 core Xeon @ 4.5ghz vs quad core @ 4.6ghz on my X79.
And it was only $5 a stick more then 1600 ram.
And my previous build was 12GB 1600 on X58.
Wanted to feel somewhat of an upgrade on ram besides capacity.

Huh? There's a number of reviews that show benefits with high speed RAM in CPU bound games like BF4 & SC2

I've heard from the Overclockers UK staff that the 4000MHz Z will hardly be available (only very few cherry picked chips will be able to attain the speed) and at a very high pricepoint at that.
Now what to put in an Asus Z170 ROG board...Trident Z or Ripjaws V gunmetal grey (which I'd still like to see!)... Will await pics by others he he to see what looks good (if I go there at all).
So 16GB (4 x 4GB) or 32GB (4 x 8GB) 3000MHz (think the mobo's are designed for 3400MHz max?) for gaming 5 years from now...? I'm not worried by timings as it's all about the frequency these days, however lower CAS plus high frequency is always a win in my book!

At that speed, the timings aren't much of a concern.

And this thread here for ARMA 3 where they test RAM vs CPU speed:
4770k @ 3.5 GHz, DDR3-1333, CL9:
Altis benchmark: 39 FPS
4790k @ 3.5 GHz, DDR3-2400, CL9:
Altis benchmark: 48 FPS
4790k @ 4.6 GHz, DDR3-2400, CL9:
Altis benchmark: 59 FPS
Above all else being equal.
If Hilbert gets a set to test, I hope he can do some ram speed for these games to see if the minimum and average frames improve for cpu intensive games.
