G.SKILL TridentZ RGB DDR4 3000 CL16 Kit

This 16GB dual-channel kit delivers DDR4 3000 speed with CL16 16-18-18-38 timings at 1.35V. The exposed RGB light bar and aluminum heatspreader combine visual flair with efficient thermal management. Intel XMP 2.0 support enables one-click configuration on compatible platforms.

Ideal for RGB-focused builds on listed Intel

Builders who want matched 8GB modules with synchronized lighting and guaranteed XMP stability will appreciate the factory-tuned kit. Users needing ECC, registered DIMMs, or speeds beyond the rated 3000 MT/s should select a different specification.

Questions about this item

Will the 288-pin DDR4 modules with aluminum heatspreaders fit under my CPU cooler?

The modules use a standard 288-pin DDR4 form factor with an aluminum heatspreader; verify your cooler's clearance spec against the module height before installing.

How do I enable the rated DDR4 3000 CL16 16-18-18-38 timings at 1.35V, and what step is often missed?

Enable the Intel XMP 2.0 profile in BIOS after seating both modules in the correct dual-channel slots; the common miss is leaving the board on auto defaults.

When should I clean the exposed RGB light bar and heatspreader fins, and how?

Use compressed air to clear dust from the light bar and fin array every few months; avoid liquids on the exposed LEDs and PCB contacts.
