G.SKILL Introduces Trident Z5 CK Series Overclocked DDR5 CU-DIMM with Clock Driver, DDR5-9600
With a built-in clock driver (CKD) and a maximum overclock speed of DDR5-9600, G.SKILL International Enterprise, the world’s top brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is thrilled to announce the release of the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series extreme overclock DDR5 CU-DIMM memory. With its mirrored black finish heatspreaders and their ability to push the limits of memory overclocking, the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series are designed to work with the newest Intel Core Ultra 200 K-series desktop processors and Intel Z890 chipset motherboards. Newegg.com is now selling the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series DDR5-9600 memory kits:
DDR5 CU-DIMM – The New Generation of DDR5 Memory
The new CU-DIMM standard, which adds a built-in clock driver (CKD) chip to the memory module, serves as the foundation for the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series. The CKD is intended to improve stability in high-speed memory operations by fortifying signals between the CPU and memory IC chips.
Extreme Overclock Speed at DDR5-9000 (Gear 2)
G.SKILL is also producing an ultimate DDR5 CU-DIMM memory kit specification at DDR5-9000 CL42-56-56-144 with 48GB (2x24GB) total capacity, which is designed for extreme overclockers. Using the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard and Intel Core Ultra 9 285K desktop processor in Gear 2 mode, the screenshot below shows the high-speed overclock memory:
Extreme CU-DIMM Speed Up To DDR5-9600 (Gear 4)
The R&D team at G.SKILL, which is constantly pushing the boundaries of memory overclock speeds, has achieved a new benchmark of DDR5-9600 CL46-58-58 48GB (2x24GB) using CU-DIMM in Gear 4 mode. View the screenshot below to see the incredible overclock speed being achieved with the most recent ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard and Intel Core Ultra 7 265K desktop processor.
DDR5-10000 Dual-Channel CU-DIMM Memory OC Potential
G.SKILL Trident Z5 CK memory has achieved an overclock speed of DDR5-10000 in dual-channel mode on air cooling with both Apex and ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboards, demonstrating the CU-DIMM’s memory overclock capabilities. The screenshots below show system stability under the Memtest stress test on the ASUS motherboard and the AIDA64 bandwidth benchmark on the ASRock motherboard, which were accomplished via extra BIOS tuning across CPU and memory settings, including voltage and sophisticated memory timing modifications.
Sleek Flagship Trident Z5 Family Design
The Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series, which follow the design language of the flagship performance Trident Z5 family, add a sophisticated look to your PC build with their sleek mirrored black heatspreaders topped with either a semi-translucent RGB light bar or a piano black top bar.
Availability & Intel XMP 3.0 Support
In October 2024, the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series DDR5 CU-DIMM memory kits which support the Intel XMP 3.0 memory overclock profile will be made available to approved G.SKILL distributors and retailers.
The table below provides a list of launch specifications.
FAQs
What is CU-DIMM?
Clocked unbuffered dual in-line memory module is what CU-DIMM stands for. This latest DDR5 memory generation has an integrated clock driver (CKD). Compared to conventional DDR5 modules, this CKD chip improves signal integrity between the CPU and memory chips, allowing for faster speeds and more stable performance.
What are the key features of the Trident Z5 CK series?
For extreme overclocking, the built-in clock driver (CKD) increases signal strength and stability.
Extreme Overclocking Speeds: These speeds push the limits of DDR5 performance and are available up to DDR5-9600.
Sleek Design: Maintaining the Trident Z5 family’s style, this heatspreader has a mirrored black finish and a piano black or semi-translucent RGB light bar.
Support for Intel XMP 3.0: With compatible motherboards, this allows for simple setup and automatic overclocking.
