There are plenty of kudos to go around when records are broken in sports—it's not uncommon for athletes to thank their training staff, teammates, coaches, parents, and anyone else involved in their achievement. So it also goes in the world of professional overclocking, hence why ASRock has taken to social media to...

It's often said in sports that records are meant to be broken, and sometimes it can take years or even decades for it to happen. In the sport of professional overclocking, however, no such long waits are required, at least with regards to DDR5 memory frequencies. To wit, G.Skill and ASUS just snatched the overclocking...

How quickly things can change, eh? When DDR5 first came onto the scene, the speed-to-price ratio was underwhelming, to say the least. It didn't take long for pricing to settle way down, but speeds didn't seem to ramp all that quickly afterward. Now with the introduction of CU-DIMMs, we're seeing memory makers hit new...

Subjectively speaking, G.Skill makes some of the sexiest RAM out there, depending on your taste in modules. If you're unconvinced, I'd like to enter into evidence its latest Trident Z5 CK series memory with sleek and reflective black heatspreaders. Objectively, these new kits are some of the fastest memory on the...

It's taken a minute, but memory makers are finally starting to approach the DDR5-10000 mark, though they're not quite there yet. They are getting close, however, with G.Skill being the latest to announce yet another overclocked DDR5 memory kit at a blistering-fast speed, the Trident Z5 Royal Neo in DDR5-9000 form...

If there's a criticism to be had with DDR5 RAM, it's that there's a latency hit compared to high-end DDR4 kits. That's the cost of taking memory speeds to the next level. In an effort to lessen the gap, G.Skill has unveiled a line of "ultra-low latency" DDR5 memory with fast speeds and high capacities designed for AMD...

If you're planning to build a new PC around AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 series processors based on Zen 5, then obviously the CPU will be the crown jewel of your rig (and the GPU being the sceptre, if wanting to over-analyze the analogy). However, it's G.Skill's new Trident Z5 Royal Neo memory that can bring the...

Computex 2024 was full of big announcements, like new desktop chips from AMD, new laptop chips from Intel, new handhelds from nearly everyone, and all kinds of cool hardware. It might not be as exciting as new CPUs, but it'd be a shame to overlook G.SKILL's booth at the Taiwan trade show, because the memorable memory...

Does your gaming PC setup scream decadence at every turn? If so, or if you simply want to bring some crystal-themed RGB luxury bling to your battle station, G.Skill may have exactly what you're looking for—after teasing its Trident Z5 Royal DDR5 memory series earlier this week, it's now official in both gold and...

G.Skill is arguably best known for its ever-evolving lineup of enthusiast memory products, such as its Trident and Ripjaws RAM, but it actually has an expansive lineup that extends into CPU coolers, power supplies, PC cases, and of course peripherals like keyboards and mice, to name a few. Adding to that latter...

Confession time: I'm absolutely terrible (or lazy?) at dusting my dwelling as much or as often I should. So, going with a white-themed PC isn't really on my radar. That said, I'm also absolutely envious of anyone who can pull it off (will you come clean my place?), and to make it easier, G.Skill is introducing fast...

The race to deliver increasingly high-speed 24GB and 48GB memory kits is heating up. Crucial got the party started by being the first to deliver 24GB and 48GB DDR5 kits in January, followed by Corsair unveiling 24GB and 48GB Vengeance DDR5-5600 memory options last month. More recently Corsair upped the ante with...

G.Skill can officially lay claim to offering the world's fastest DDR5 memory at retail. Well, sort of—G.Skill announced today that its ultra-high frequency DDR5-8000 memory has released to retail starting with a pair of listings on Newegg, though at the time of this writing, both kits that are up for offer are showing...

Back in late January, G.Skill and ASUS celebrated setting a world frequency record with a Trident Z5 memory kit running at 8,888 MT/s. At the time, the memory kit needed to be drenched in liquid nitrogen (LN2) to achieve the high-speed result. Now just over nine months later, G.Skill and ASUS have teamed up to break...

G.Skill is adding to its growing collection of high-speed DDR5 RAM for Intel's Alder Lake and AMD's soon-to-be-released Zen 4 platforms. The memory maker's latest offerings include a 64GB (2x32GB) Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 kit and a class-leading 32GB (2x16GB) Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6800 RAM kit, the latter of which will...

It looks like G.Skill has cracked the code to one of the biggest complaints with DDR5 memory, that being propensity for high CAS latencies. There have been efforts to release lower latency kits, some better than others. Now for the first time there are a handful of DDR5 memory kits that bring the CAS latency to below...

G.Skill continues to crank out high-speed memory kits for enthusiasts and overclockers, its latest offering a 64GB DDR5-6000 Trident Z5 RGB memory kit designed to accompany Intel's 12th Gen Core desktop processors based on Alder Lake in a Z690 motherboard. Two 32GB modules comprise what G.Skill is dubbing a...

In the world of competitive DRAM overclocking, G.Skill is very much an active participant, often bragging about setting frequency records. The company has not done that yet for its latest achievement, perhaps because it's on the verge of having one of its Trident Z5 DDR5 memory kits hit 10,000 MT/s. There's not far to...

Look, JEDEC might be fine and dandy with DDR5-4800 memory kits, but that's not the kind of speed that excites enthusiasts, not when memory makers had been talking up a big game prior to the launch of Alder Lake (the only consumer desktop platform at the moment that supports DDR5). But a DDR5-6400 memory kit? Now...

G.Skill continues to claim overclocking records with its Trident memory products, and that has continued in the emerging DDR5 era. The company's latest bragging right, made possible with the help of ASUS, applies to its Trident Z5 DDR5 memory—it set a world frequency record at DDR5-8888 while nestled in an ASUS ROG...

Most records are destined to be broken, and make no mistake, that's going to happen at a breakneck pace in DDR5 land once things really get going. It's already happening, to some extent, with G.Skill leading the way. Earlier this week, for example, G.Skill showboated hitting DDR5-7000 on its Trident Z5 memory, the...

Slowly but surely, memory makers have begun announcing DDR5 memory kits for Intel's Alder Lake platform. Most of them have been relatively modest in speed, at or around DDR5-4800. Meanwhile, G.Skill is doing what it does—focusing on enthusiast kits and seeing how far it can push its own memory products. The best...
