memory. Your system won’t work without it. These words, though profound, are simply true. And in today’s review, we’ll be looking at a memory kit that not only enables his POST of the system, but is significantly faster than most DDR5 on the market today.
The RAM review was what got me started on my journey here at PCPer, and it was a very fast DDR3 (2666 MT/s) review. Last week I reviewed some DDR5 using Lexar’s 6000 MT/s kit. But 6000 MT/s is less than his 7200 MT/s and somehow G.Skill was able to reach that speed with a CAS latency of just 34.
what am i talking about Of course, we are talking about the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-7200, model F5-7200J3445G16GX2-TZ5RS. Setting the XMP profile boosts the voltage from the default 1.1V to 1.4V, but the timings are an impressive 34-45-45-115 at a rated speed of 7200 MT/s.
But enough about the technical details. Let’s take a closer look at this kit, look at a few more timings and other technical details (I lied), and see how it worked.
