Speeds stretch right the way up to 4,266MHz, but the ideal candidate for most users, we feel, is a 3,200MHz pack with tight 14-14-14-34-2T timings.
G.Skill has cemented its position as a go-to-provider of high-end DDR4 by expanding its flagship range of Trident Z memory through the introduction of numerous kits available in a choice of colour options.
Speeds stretch right the way up to 4,266MHz, but the ideal candidate for most users, we feel, is a 3,200MHz pack with tight 14-14-14-34-2T timings. Our reviewed 32GB kit, model number F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ, demonstrates G.Skill's ability to put forth a balanced specification in a package that's stylish, well-built and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Performance from the quad-channel kit is bang in line with expectations, and though the benefit of 32GB is rendered moot in most scenarios by the CPU's onboard cache, there's no harm in a little extra future proofing should funds allow. On the lookout for a 4x8GB kit that ticks all the right boxes and looks the business? G.Skill's Trident Z should be high on your list.
