G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB F5-6000J3238F16G 16GB DDR5-6000 CL32 Review
This single 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB module runs DDR5-6000 CL32
a mid-bin Trident Z5 RGB stick between the line's CL30 and CL36 16GB modules in this catalog.
Performance
CL32 at 6000MT/s is 10.7ns true latency, between the CL30 (10.0ns) and CL36 (12.0ns) 16GB Trident Z5 RGB modules also in this catalog.
Speed and Latency
Speed and CL only mean something together: 32 cycles at 6000MT/s is 10.7ns of real delay. 52% of the desktop DDR5 kits we list are as tight or tighter, so this is on the looser side of its class.
Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Best for
- AM5 builds wanting better-than-stock timing without paying CL30 prices
- 16GB single-stick upgrades at the platform's native speed
Not for
- Buyers who'll pay a small premium for the tighter CL30 bin
- Budget builds where the CL36 stock bin is close enough
