  • Hand-screened ICs on 10-layer PCB tuned for overclocking headroom

What it is and who it serves

The G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Elite kit delivers 16 GB of DDR4 desktop memory in a matched pair of 8 GB modules rated at 3600 MT/s with CL16 16-19-19-39 timings at 1.35 V. It targets enthusiasts who want a verified dual-channel kit for Intel Z370 through Z790 DDR4 or AMD X570, X470 and B550 platforms and who value a distinctive crystalline heatspreader with 8-zone RGB lighting.

Thermals noise and power

The aluminium heatspreader uses a 76-facet mirrored surface to spread heat from the hand-screened ICs and the custom 10-layer PCB while reflecting light from the patented full-length crystalline light bar. Because the modules run at the standard 1.35 V XMP 2.0 profile, they draw no more voltage than a typical performance DDR4 kit and add no audible noise since no active cooling is present.

What the extras change

G.SKILL lighting software lets you customise the fluid rainbow wave default effect across eight independent zones, and the modules also respond to motherboard RGB sync utilities so the illumination can be coordinated with other components. The pre-validated XMP 2.0 profile applies the rated speed and timings with a single BIOS selection, removing the need for manual frequency or latency tuning.

Questions about this item

Will this kit run at 3600 MT/s on an Intel Z690 DDR4 board without manual tuning?

Yes, the kit includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile that sets 3600 MT/s, CL16-19-19-39 at 1.35 V on supported Z690 DDR4 motherboards.

Does the crystalline light bar work with ASUS Aura Sync or MSI Mystic Light?

The 8-zone RGB can be controlled through G.SKILL software or synchronized via motherboard RGB utilities that support standard 5 V addressable headers.

Are two 8 GB modules the only way to get 16 GB with this part number?

F4-3600C16D-16GTESC is sold as a matched dual-channel kit containing exactly two 8 GB sticks; adding another kit is not validated by the manufacturer.
