G.Skill Ripjaws V vs. Trident Z

[Eldridge Friend]

I'm quite curious to figure out which of these two DDR4 memory is better overall.

What do you define as better overall? Performance, Price, Aesthetics? What kind of feedback are you looking for? Also for a better comparison please provide more details such as the timings and frequency.

There both the same, minus frequency and heatsink, which makes approximately nil difference unless you have a CPU bottleneck in which case the faster RAM will help.

Disregarding the price, Which has the better performance overall? Aesthetics is somewhat of a 50/50 issue. In terms of frequency, I believe that 3,200 is the highest, numerically of course. 

 

Feedback that I have in mind: Top of the line performance while being efficient at the same time, the ability to play games without stuttering of course and lastly, the ability to create content such as video editing, video rendering, etc.

Performance will vary based on timings. Right now the timings are such that DDR4 at 3200 will perform about the same as DDR4 at 2200 due to the timing differences (lower speed has a better latency timing). The general consensus I have seen thus far is simply to buy what you can afford and what matches your system if you are so inclined...no need to chase the high frequency as the trade off in price to performance is not generally very good.

For gaming, you generally want lower timings. For content creation, higher MHz helps immensely.

I went with the Ripjaws V F4-3000C15D-16GVR for my new system, as it was cheaper than the Trident Z at the time.  Plus, the all-red heat spreaders went better with my system theme.  I've been running it at 3200 for almost a month now.  I highly recommend it.

i never heard about Trident Z, i trust only g skill, corsair, king stone hyper x, a data. I will recommend using good brand and check the warranty they are giving.

Trident Z is a high performance memory made by g.skill.
