Not going to lie, want 8 of the chrome sticks :eek:

We shall be stocking these, had a play in June with them, in the flesh they look amazing, but yes the bling factor is real, chrome looks best.

Probably be in stock Dec/Jan, price shall be eye watering, proper elite tier, you want it, you pays for it.

Performance to match the price as well, or is it just for looks?

Both its an all out hero kit, only screened B die to begin with and all kits should be north of 3200MHz, its hero stuff, not volume production, not yet anyway.
We are working with them for hopefully some 4266MHz kit on this.

Very nice

Gibbo · 21 Nov 2018 at 10:47

Spoke with G.Skill

All ordered and they are going to do 3000MHz upwards, so setup a few SKU's are our choosing which shall go online in December.

I have to admit, i'm not a lover of anything rgb lighting wise and have everything i can turned off on my CH6. But that ram looks absolutely gorgeous.................almost certainly will have a price tag to match as well i would imagine.

Miss Paris Hilton will love these.

These just might be too much bling for even her.

Just been watching vids on these, shiny shiny. Bit too bling for me and prefer a defused rgb but cool stuff anyway.

I prefer the defused look also.

But it's nice to see them try something different I guess.

Initially I really was unsure about it. The video though, its looks a lot better than I thought!
Think they could've chosen a better font for "Trident Z Royal" (random nit pick I know!).

i like the gold but the light spreader looks like cheap fake bling jewlery not worth £1.

You could probably make something like this spray paint on gold colour and some super glue with cheap bling crystals from the bay.

for that essentially G skill are going to charge most probably extra 30-40% price increase with practically no performance difference.

Doug2507 · 29 Nov 2018 at 06:49

Yep, and they'll still sell plenty of them!

anyone else grind their teeth to see the barcode labels on the heat spreaders? i'd want a flawless unstickered finish

Of course, as bling and LED's are a powerful combination.
