G.Skill Trident Z5 F5-5600U3636C16G 16GB DDR5-5600 CL36 (No RGB) Review
This single 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 module runs DDR5-5600 CL36 without RGB lighting
the same Trident Z5 heat spreader shape as the RGB versions in this catalog, minus the light bar, for buyers who want the look without the lighting or the price premium that comes with it.
Performance
CL36 at 5600MT/s is 12.9ns true latency, a moderate bin consistent with the entry-to-mid tier of the Trident Z5 lineup covered in this catalog.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the RGB-equipped Trident Z5 RGB F5-5600J3636C16G at the same capacity, speed, and timing in this catalog, this non-RGB version should cost less for identical performance; buy it specifically to skip the lighting.
