G.SKILL has announced the Trident Z5 Royal series, a new series of high-performance overclock DDR5 memory that features a mirrored-finish heat spreader in gold or silver color and a full-length crystalline light bar. Described by the company as being the embodiment of high-class luxury and featuring Intel XMP 3.0 support, these memory kits will be available later this month, G. SKILL has confirmed.
Capacities include:
- Up to DDR5-8400 CL40 with 48GB (2x 24 GB) kit capacity
- Kit capacities up to 96GB (2x48GB) in other specifications

G.SKILL on its new memory:
Trident Z5 Royal marks the return of the popular luxury-class design to the new generation of DDR5 memory under the Trident Z5 design, inheriting from its DDR4 predecessor the lustrous mirrored-finish heatspreader in gold or silver color and a crystalline light bar design for a magnificent display of RGB lighting. Each heatspreader is CNC-cut from aluminum and electroplated for a stunning design befitting its Royal name.
Engineered for overclocked performance, the Trident Z5 Royal will be offered up to an extreme DDR5-8400 CL40 with 48GB (2x24GB) kit capacity, as well as in other specifications with kit capacities up to 96GB (2x48GB). Customizable RGB lighting is also supported through the G.SKILL Trident Z Lighting Control software or third-party motherboard lighting software.
The new Trident Z5 Royal series DDR5 memory kits support the latest Intel XMP 3.0 memory overclocking profile for easy memory overclocking via the motherboard BIOS, and will be roll out to G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners in late May 2024.

Join Discussion →I had some of these in the DDR4variant, but wasn't overly impressed with their looks to be honest. They did fit in with the build I had at the time, but were a little to "blingy" for my taste.
Waaaay too much bling for a personal rig. Performance considerations also questionable given how poorly G.Skill has been at keeping DIMMs cool; more bling usually doesn't help much there.
But if it fits someone else's motif, why not?
Ugh, can't stand RAM that looks like this. Also I don't trust any DIMMs with RGB lighting, there always seem to be weird issues going on with them...
I'll second that one.
To my knowledge, Corsair RGB DIMMs hold their RGB settings once set - meaning you can toss the software afterward. Others may support this but G.Skill to my knowledge does not.
