When RGB products began to take over the world of PC hardware, I was turned off by a lot of poor and tacky applications of it. There are quite a few products out there that appear to cobble together some form of cheesy LED lighting just for the sake of adding RGB to the feature set. However, the G.Skill Trident Z RGB series RAM released early this year is a completely different story.

For a long time now, weāre heard that complicated and customizable lighting on RAM could potentially cause performance issues due to signal interference. Some manufactures like GEIL got around this issue by adding a separate power cable. Thatās why we were surprised to see the Trident Z RGB didnāt require any external power and even more shocked to see the performance was essentially identical to the non-RGB Trident Z series. The software could use a little bit of work and weād love to see more communication with other RGB products, but even then I still feel like G.Skillās Trident Z RGB series is ahead of the competition.
