G.SKILL announced the first retail memory kit to break through the 4000MHz barrier and two new memory series - the Trident Z and Ripjaws V series - with updated performance specifications designed for the latest 6th generation Intel Core Processors and Z170 motherboards. The new Trident Z DDR4 memory is the successor to the Trident memory series and making its debut on the latest DDR4 standard, designed and tested for the next generation Skylake-S platform. For the first time in the history of extreme memory kits, Trident Z is entering the arena with a 4000MHz memory kit, built with highest-end Samsung IC memory chips and validated on the ASRock Z170 OC Formula motherboard.

The Trident Z is featuring a single-piece design that allows direct heat dissipation from heatspreader to cooling fin, dual-color construction, and extreme XMP 2.0 support for simple overclocking setup that ranges from DDR4-2800MHz all the way to DDR4-4000MHz.

The Ripjaws V is the newest member of the classic performance Ripjaws family, featuring suave new looks in five colors: Blazing Red, Steel Blue, Radiant Silver, Gunmetal Gray, and Classic Black.

The Ripjaws V series DDR4 memory will be available in kits of various configurations and capacities, comprising of 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB modules with performance ranging from the standard 2133MHz to staggering 3733MHz at ultra-low voltages. The high-density 16GB single modules are manufactured from Samsung IC memory chips, packing both capacity and performance in a single module. And of course, all kits are XMP 2.0 ready for easy BIOS tuning and setup, as well as tested under hours of grueling benchmarks and memory validation testing software on the latest motherboards from major motherboard vendors for maximum compatibility and stability.
