Which should you buy, ADATA AO2V48UC8W1-BHLS 8GB or G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo?

The ADATA AO2V48UC8W1-BHLS 8GB is the one to take for desktop DDR5 builds needing 8GB of memory. The G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo suits buyers who plan to add their own case lighting instead, though it is the wrong buy for anyone who specifically wants the Trident Z5's RGB light bar. The same goes for Ryzen builds wanting the Trident Z5 body without paying for RGB lighting. Avoid it for showcase builds behind glass where lighting is part of the point. Our rating of the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo (8/10): the non-RGB Trident Z5 Neo gives Ryzen builders the same CL30 AMD EXPO timing bin as the RGB version for less money and a lower profile.
