Conclusion
...The Trident Z Neo expands its reach farther, so if it fits in with your colour scheme and you definitely want RGB memory.G.Skill's expansion into the Trident Z Neo line manifests itself with a new design aesthetic married to a wide range of timings and speeds that fit in well with both Intel and AMD performance processors.
Offering solid RGB support through 8-zone lighting, Trident Z Neo is subtly different enough from existing G.Skill kits to make sense for a new build. The black-and-silver colour scheme neutrality means it will fit into most builds without being glaring.
That said, there remains a significant price premium for G.Skill's top-of-the-range RGB lighting - over 50 per cent compared to regular RAM of the same speed and timings - and testing shows that, for most, a DDR4-3200 CL14 kit (which, admittedly, G.Skill also retails for Neo) is a better performance fit than the 3,600 CL16 set reviewed here.
G.Skill is arguably the most ardent exponent of RGB-laden memory. The Trident Z Neo expands its reach farther, so if it fits in with your colour scheme and you definitely want RGB memory, give it a closer look for your next performance build.
