G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Memory Unboxing!

From the DDR5 platform release just beginning of the initial period of anticipation, to last year's 2023 Taipei International Computer Exhibition (COMPUTEX 2023) debut, and then this year's 2024 Taipei International Computer Exhibition (COMPUTEX 2024) to open the sale of Chi Chi G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Royal halberd aka marriage proposal halberd has finally made its debut!

The first wave of DDR5 6400 / 7200 / 7600 MT/s is available in three frequencies, and the first color is silver only; the gold version seems to need to wait, this time I bought the DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (2x16GB) silver version, the memory product serial number: F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TR5S, is the cheapest choice among the first release models. It is the cheapest option among the models. The official shrimp price is set at NT$5,190, but there are cheaper prices in other channels (e.g. Original House).

The memory size specification is not indicated in the official website, the author measured the length, width and height of 133.35 x 80 x 42 mm, the memory height of 42 mm is not too high, but I don't think anyone would buy the Trident Z5 Royal Halberd and then with the air-cooled tower cooler, so that the memory lighting effect is blocked is just.

The overall heatsink shape is the same as that of the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 The same S-shaped streamline design, the surface of the heat sink is plated to give it a mirror reflection effect.

The ∆ memory height is 42 mm.

∆ Memory front.

The back of the ∆Memory uses the same design, but with a black and white sticker, which I think is a pity because it spoils the aesthetics a bit.

∆ Mirror effect display.

 

Trident Z5 Royal series of RGB light bar using rhinestone-shaped light guide design, regardless of whether the power is on or off, brings a bright and brilliant visual impact. The Trident Z5 Royal series supports GIGABYTE, MSI, ASRock, and ASUS lighting synchronization software, allowing gamers to set up lighting effects through the motherboard software.

The G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (2x16GB) memory that I purchased this time is designed with a single-sided cell layout, i.e., 1Rx8, and the official website states that it is made through exclusive R&D technology and high-quality IC cells.

I believe that consumers want to buy Trident Z5 Royal Royal Halberd basically for the sake of appearance, here on the power to show you the lighting effect.

Memory overclocking test for Intel Core i9-13900K and MSI MEG Z690I UNIFY platform.

Next, we used the Intel Core i9-13900K test platform that supports DDR5 memory and XMP 3.0, the motherboard used MSI MEG Z690I UNIFY and updated the BIOS to version 7D29v1H to test the overclocking and read/write performance of the G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal halberd memory.

Testing Platform

Processor: Intel Core i9-13900K (QS)
Cooler: Valkyrie E360 (full speed)
Water-cooled fan: LIAN LI UNI FAN P28 (full speed)
Motherboard: MSI MEG Z690I UNIFY ( BIOS version: 7D29v1H )
Memory: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (2x16GB) Memory
Display card:Acer Predator BiFrost Intel® Arc™ A770 OC
Operating System: Windows 11 Professional 22H2
System Drive: Plextor PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 SSD 512GB
Gaming Disk: Intel 670P 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe SSD (Solidigm)
Power supply:FSP Hydro PTM PRO ATX3.0 (PCIe5.0) 1200W
Case: STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2
Graphics driver: Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows* Version: 31.0.101.5534

 

In the motherboard's BIOS, you can see that there is a profile built into this memory, DDR5 6400 MT/s CL32-39-39-102 1.4V for Intel XMP, and it's a shame that G.SKILL doesn't have a lower frequency provisioned.

There is only one Profile parameter in the ∆SPD HUB for XMP.

∆ JEDEC frequency is DDR5-4800.

The ∆ XMP Profile parameter is viewed.

 

By the same token CPU-Z Looking at the Intel Core i9 13900K test platform, the SPD page shows that the G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 utilizes SK Hynix chips and supports the latest Intel XMP 3.0 (Extreme Memory Profile) one-click overclocking technology.

However, only one set of Profile parameter is programmed in the SPD HUB, the rest are JEDEC timing frequency parameters.

∆ Intel platform CPU-Z.

 

utilization AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 read/write performance was tested with JEDEC DDR5 4800 MT/s and the results were 76025 MB/s and 68486 MB/s with 89.8 ns latency.

With XMP Profile 1 DDR5-6400 MT/s turned on, the test results were 101709 MB/s and 87701 MB/s for read and write, with a latency of 69.7 ns.

The author also manually overclocked to a maximum of 7400 MT/s and tested it, the test results were 115290 MB/s and 100432 MB/s for reading and writing, with a latency of 61.9 ns. The higher 7600 would not pass the self-test of the motherboard, and I will take the time to continue overclocking when I have the chance to open the box for a higher frequency later on.

Test results at ∆ JEDEC frequency 4800 MT/s.

∆ Open XMP Profile DDR5 6400 MT/s CL 32-39-39-102 1.4 V test results.

∆ Manual overclocking to DDR5 7400 MT/s test result.

 

And then through AIDA64 System Memory To test the pressure stability of memory, the test setup is XMP Profile DDR5 6400 MT/s CL 32-39-39-102 1.4 V. After 27 minutes of fanless testing, the maximum temperature of the two memory SPD Hubs is 79.8 °C. The temperature is a little bit higher without a fan, but there is no Fail, which is surprisingly quite bearable.

It is important to note that this test was conducted on a STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2 barebones test platform. The Z690I's two memory slots are very close together and it uses an all-in-one water-cooled CPU cooler, so there is no additional fan to assist in the cooling of the memory, however, most users will install an exhaust fan above the chassis to dissipate the heat, so the above temperature tests are for reference only. The above temperature test is for reference only.

An additional 12 cm is used to help cool the memory, and the maximum temperature drops to 55 °C. However, consumers of the 99% have chassis fans to help dissipate the heat, and the author's barebones platform is for unboxing tests.

∆ AIDA64 system memory temperature test with a 12 cm fan, SPD Hub up to 55 °C, accidentally fell asleep so I tested it for more than 2 hours...

 

Conclusion

After waiting for such a long time, G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal is finally launched, although the first release is only silver and the frequency is only 6400 / 7200 / 7600 MT/s. It's a pity, but I believe that G.SKILL will continue to update it, I hope that they will hurry up to give 8400 MT/s 48GB (2x24GB) to the end of it, and then come back to challenge it seriously! Let's see how much they can exceed.

 

I believe that will be willing to spend money to buy G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Royal halberd consumers, absolutely all because of its appearance, about this point the author can only say: "really beautiful to cry", but the electroplated mirror radiator is just as easy to leave fingerprints, so the disassembly process is still recommended to match the gloves to install will be easier to maintain a clean appearance.

 

So there are no drawbacks to such a beautiful memory? Yes, that is, the price is more expensive than other competitors, but this is from the DDR4 halberd is so, expensive from the product is not a problem but .....
