G.SKILL F5-6000J4040F16GX2-TZ5RK 32GB (2 x 16GB)/ DDR5 6000 MT/s/ Timings 40-40-40-96/ Voltage 1.35V/ TZ5 RGB
The G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB F5-6000J4040F16GX2-TZ5RK is a 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 desktop memory kit built for Intel XMP 3.0 platforms — a matched dual-channel pair for PC builders and upgraders who need both sticks tested together, not two single modules bought separately.
Compatibility
This kit is designed for desktop motherboards with DDR5 DIMM slots and Intel XMP 3.0 support. It ships as an Unbuffered, Non-ECC module — the standard type used in consumer desktop PCs, not server/workstation boards that require registered or ECC memory. Out of the box (before enabling XMP in BIOS) it runs at the JEDEC default of 4800 MT/s; enabling the XMP 3.0 profile brings it up to its rated 6000 MT/s speed.
Intel XMP 3.0 is the only profile listed for this kit. If you're building on an AMD platform, it will still physically fit a DDR5 socket, but an AMD EXPO profile isn't confirmed for this SKU — check with us before ordering if guaranteed EXPO auto-overclocking matters for your build.

What's included
Two matched 16GB DDR5 UDIMM modules (32GB total) with an aluminum heatspreader and RGB light bar. No cooling fan is included — the heatspreader is passive, which is standard for DIMM memory.
Why this kit
Because it's sold as a factory-matched 2 x 16GB pair, both modules are guaranteed to run together at the same rated speed and timings — avoiding the instability that can come from pairing two single sticks bought separately. The CL40-40-40-96 timing at 6000 MT/s and 1.35V is set out on the spec sheet so you can confirm it against your motherboard's supported memory QVL before buying, rather than guessing from a vague "high performance" description.
Is this RAM kit compatible with my motherboard?
It fits any desktop board with DDR5 DIMM slots and is rated for Intel XMP 3.0. Check your motherboard's QVL for DDR5-6000 CL40 support before ordering.
Do I need to do anything to get the full 6000 MT/s speed?
Yes — by default it runs at 4800 MT/s. Enable the XMP 3.0 profile in BIOS to reach the rated 6000 MT/s.
Is this two separate sticks or a matched kit?
It's a factory-matched dual-channel kit — both 16GB modules are tested together at the same speed and timings.
What does "Unbuffered, Non-ECC" mean?
Unbuffered, Non-ECC is standard desktop memory, not server/workstation memory. It's the correct type for a regular gaming or work PC.
What's the difference between this and other CL variants in the same series?
The CL number is the timing at rated speed — this kit is CL40, while some other Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 kits are CL36 or CL30. Always match the exact model number to your motherboard's QVL.
Will this DDR5 kit work in a DDR4 motherboard?
No. DDR5 and DDR4 use different notches and voltages and are not interchangeable.
Does this include RGB software or a cooling fan?
It has an RGB light bar that syncs via your motherboard's own RGB software; no fan is included — cooling is passive via the aluminum heatspreader.
What warranty comes with this kit?
G.Skill's Limited Lifetime warranty, handled directly through G.Skill. Keep your Ink and Rolls receipt for any claim.
