DDR5 CU-DIMM – The New Generation of DDR5 Memory
The Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series is built on the new CU-DIMM standard, which introduces a built-in clock driver (CKD) chip on the memory module. Designed to strengthen signals between the CPU and memory IC chips, the CKD helps in improving stability in high-speed memory operations.
Extreme Overclock Speed at DDR5-9000 (Gear 2)
Built for extreme overclockers, G.SKILL is also releasing an ultimate DDR5 CU-DIMM memory kit specification at DDR5-9000 CL42-56-56-144 with 48GB (2x24GB) total capacity. Operating under Gear 2 mode with Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K desktop processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard, see the high-speed overclock memory in the screenshot below:
Extreme CU-DIMM Speed Up To DDR5-9600 (Gear 4)
Always exploring the extreme limits of memory overclock speeds, the R&D team at G.SKILL has reached a new height of DDR5-9600 CL46-58-58 48GB (2x24GB) with CU-DIMM in Gear 4 mode. See the following screenshot that demonstrates the extreme overclock speed in progress with the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 265K desktop processor and ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard:
DDR5-10000 Dual-Channel CU-DIMM Memory OC Potential
Demonstrating the memory overclock potential of the CU-DIMM, G.SKILL Trident Z5 CK memory has reached an overclock speed of DDR5-10000 in dual-channel mode on air cooling with both ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex and ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboards. Achieved through additional BIOS tuning across CPU and memory settings, including voltage and advanced memory timing adjustments, the screenshots below demonstrate system stability under Memtest stress test on the ASUS motherboard and AIDA64 bandwidth benchmark on the ASRock motherboard.
Sleek Flagship Trident Z5 Family Design
Continuing with the design language of the flagship performance Trident Z5 family, the Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series features heatspreader with a sleek mirrored black finish, topped with a piano black top bar or a semi-translucent RGB light bar, respectively, to add a refined aesthetic to your PC build.
Availability & Intel XMP 3.0 Support
The Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB series DDR5 CU-DIMM memory kits comes with Intel XMP 3.0 memory overclock profile support, and is rolling out to authorized G.SKILL distributors and retailers in October 2024.
