G.SKILL was one of the first companies to come out with RGB DDR4 modules and they were quite a hit. Their Trident Z RGB kits are still some of the best RGB kits available today and have a sleek and sexy look that you can’t help but admire. How could G.SKILL possibly top their Trident Z RGB kits? Well they showed everyone just how they were going to do that at Computex this year with the introduction of the Trident Z Royal DDR4 memory. This new memory features the same heatspreader design, but the heatspreaders are made of polished aluminum that just looks amazing. Topping off the heatspreaders is a crystalline light bar that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Today we are checking out the F4-3200C16D-16GTRS kit which is a 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit running at 3200 MHz, with timings of 16-18-18-38 at 1.35v. Is this going to be the must-have RGB memory for 2018? Read on as we find out!

Packaging
G.SKILL’s Trident Z Royal comes in a rather plain box, which is all black with “G.SKILL Trident Z Royal” lettering across the center.
Flipping over to the back there really is not much information besides a stickers that tell you which kit it is, the speeds, timings, etc.
Opening the box up you are greeted by a G.SKILL case badge and a cleaning cloth, which you’ll definitely need to keep the modules clean.
Removing those two items you finally get to check out the memory below.
