Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 Overclocking Performance?

I recently got my hands on the G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 RAM and I'm curious to know how it performs when overclocking. Has anyone tried this specific model or something similar before?

Hello @schmitz91, I've been using the G.Skill Trident Z5 for a while now and I must say, it performs exceptionally well in overclocking. The effective frequency of 6000 MHz is great for gaming and professional applications. For more information on its performance, you can check out this TechReviewer article: Overview: G.Skill Trident Z5 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM.

I've also used the Trident Z5 and found that its overclocking capabilities are impressive. I was able to push it up to around 7000 MHz with relative ease. That being said, the CAS latency of 12 ns (CL36) is considered mediocre compared to other popular RAM models, which might limit its overall performance potential.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, @MFnJones and @Chiefshow. So, if I understand correctly, the G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 has great overclocking capabilities, but its CAS latency could be a limiting factor?

I had a similar experience with the Trident Z5. Overclocking was straightforward and offered excellent results in my gaming setup. However, as @Chiefshow mentioned, the CL36 timings might not be optimal for all use cases.

@schmitz91, yes, that's pretty much it. The Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 is excellent for overclocking, but you may have to compromise on CAS latency.
