G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 48GB (2x24GB) 8000MT/s CL40-48-48-128 1.35V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Matte White (F5-8000J4048F24GX2-TZ5RW)

This was my second purchase of the same G.SKILL DDR5-8000 Trident Z5 48GB CL40 memory kit. Your chances of getting a good DDR5 kit are slim if you choose a different brand. Trust me, I have returned more than a half dozen "enthusiast" (expensive) DDR5 memory kits that are absolute rubbish. Yes, they were cheaper, but cheap doesn't count when products do not perform as advertised. If your motherboard and CPU are good enough, these will be 100% stable.Pros: Perform better than advertised. Binned silicon, overclocks like crazy. I am running them at 8200 (1.450V) on my work computer and 8600 (1.650V) 24/7 stable on my benching rig, with a maximum overclock of 8800 MT/s. Tested thoroughly (by me) and found absolutely stable on:- Z690 Dark Kingpin- Z790 Apex- Z790 Apex EncoreCons: icky-looking RGB rainbow puke unless you install buggy bloatware to control it. If you want to minimize the bloat, download G.SKILL's RGB software. (Pro tip: it works on other brands as well.) I wish the non-RGB equivalent was sold. An acceptable alternative would be a default of white LED instead of rainbow puke.Warning #1: Your chances are slim to none getting DDR5-8000 to boot and run stable on a 4-DIMM motherboard. Expect in the neighborhood of around 7200 max. If you want to run 8000+ you need a 2-DIMM motherboard designed for memory overclocking. If you have any stability issues running this at 8000 on a 2-DIMM motherboard with the default 1.350V XMP voltage, bump it to 1.435-1.450V and you should be good to go.Warning #2: If you allow this memory to get hot running TM5 or MemTest Pro it will (guaranteed) throw errors and make you think it is unstable. It might even crash with a BSOD. It's not unstable, you're just overheating it. The stock heatsinks on DDR4 and DDR5 are universally garbage (all brands) and make the memory run hotter than if they were bare. "Too hot" means more than 40-45°C maximum. If you put a powerful fan on them it might be enough. If you want really good overclocking, remove the stock heatsinks and cool them with aftermarket heatsinks. Ideally, water cool them for the best overclocking experience. Both of my systems use water cooled memory.

Pros:+SK-Hynix M-die chips+8000 MTS @ 1.35v+Overclockable and tunable+Looks greatCons:-XMP profiles did not work, which was somewhat expected, but still disappointing nonethelessThis is very good DDR5 memory, no doubt about it. Getting it to work will likely take a fair bit of manual tuning, so be aware that this isn't really "plug-and-play", and 8000 MTS is not guaranteed. I have it working (and stable thus far) on a new Z790 4-dimm motherboard (Asus Rog Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi II), but that may just come down to silicon lottery.My 14900K has very average core SP ratings (106/80), but the IMC appears to be quite strong and capable of 2 GHz to run 8000 MTS in gear 2. I set the primary timings manually, as well as fiddled with VDD/VDDR/VDDQ/SA voltages. Time will tell after further tuning and evaluation if this is truly stable, or if I will have to back it down to 7600-7800 MTS.One other thing which may be helping me is that I'm currently focusing on just memory tuning/overclocking, trying to maximize frequency/bandwidth while tightening timings to improve latency. I'm not pushing the CPU cores hard, in fact, I have PL1 = 195w and PL2 = 165w, which still gives me 90-95% of the performance of running the CPU with Asus MCE enabled without power limits, with low temperatures.To sum everything up, I'd definitely recommend this RAM to others looking to push DDR5 bandwidth to the limit.

Lots of disinfo on here and unreasonable expectation about what will work with Intel processors. Quit looking at the QVL list. The motherboard vendors just throw the memory in their system, boot it up, and check to see if it works. They aren't running the RAM speeds up and testing it with a test like Karhu. I don't know why these motherboard vendors are putting 8000MT/s RAM in their QVL tbh.The kit I bought has Hynix-M dies. This is the good stuff for 48GB kits. Hynix-A dies for 32GB kits. It's that simple.This RAM will not work in XMP unless you have a good dual RAM slot (single slot per channel) motherboard, and at least a 13th Gen processor with a good memory controller. If you're using a motherboard with two slots per channel, four slots total, then 7600 to 7733 is about the highest you're going to get. If you're trying to run this memory with a 12th Gen processor then don't expect to touch 7000MT/s.

Hi Everyone,I'm just a standard mid-life dad of 3... that loves his PC Hardware. Off the bat, I can tell you hands down if you're running a 7800x3d Processor... this is the RAM for you. I've got it clocked at 8,000 MTs with my Asus board. I wouldn't recommend by particular board however as it's $150 more than the basic starter mid tier, and i don't have access to overclock the CPU itself as it's set (looking at swapping my board and it'll become the GF's when I replace her PC down the road). If you know what your doing, put the memory timings in by hand... and watch the flag unfurl. I've got a digital friend made real life friend that's rocking a 5800x3d, and we're both rocking 7900xtx video cards at 4K resolution at 144mhz monitors. Inside star citizen when were side by side looking at the same view he's usually rocking anywhere from 90-120 fps, and I'm usually rocking 105-143 fps (I frame lock at -1 so that if I have a burst over it can catch up without de syncing more than a second ideally).

Excelentes! Trabajando a 8000mhz sin problema

I was a little skeptical at first because i order this the first time and it didn't ship till late so i had them cancel the order and re ordered it this ram is good ive used it for about 2-3 weeks now 5 stars from me i got my full 8000MT/s Xmp profile works so all good there love the ram speed is very fast and works in my custom built gaming pc thanks for the speedy ram its working great:)
