Trident Z Royal 16GB DDR4 Kit

This G.SKILL Trident Z Royal kit provides 16GB of DDR4 memory across two 8GB modules rated at 4600 MT/s with CL18 timings. It targets enthusiasts building Intel Z490 or Z390 systems who want high-frequency RAM with extensive RGB lighting control.

Builders needing ECC or registered DIMMs

The modules are unbuffered non-ECC DDR4, so they suit standard consumer desktops. Workstations or servers that require error-correcting or registered memory should select a different product line.

1.45V operating voltage

Running at the rated 4600 MT/s demands 1.45V, which is above the standard DDR4 voltage. Buyers must confirm their motherboard and CPU memory controller can sustain this voltage before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.45V operating voltage raise heat or fan noise during all-day loads?

The modules run at 1.45V with CNC-cut aluminum heatspreaders in a tri-fin design to dissipate heat, and they have no moving parts so they add no fan noise.

Must my motherboard have a 288-pin DDR4 slot and support XMP to run the rated 4600 speed?

Yes, the kit uses 288-pin DDR4 and requires a board with XMP support to reach DDR4 4600 (PC4 36800) at CL18 18-22-22-42 timings.

Does the G.SKILL lighting software let me sync these modules with older RGB components I already own?

The control software manages up to four profiles and eight RGB zones per module, and it can sync modules individually or together, though cross-brand sync depends on your motherboard's RGB ecosystem.
