G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 Spec and Price in Canada

DDR52x16GBUDIMM9.50 ns true latency

G.SKILL's fastest DDR5 kit in this lineup runs at 8000 MT/s with CL38 timings (38-48-48-128) at 1.45V, positioning it at the enthusiast-to-overclocking end of the catalog. That places it in the same speed class as Corsair's Vengeance RGB DDR5-8000, but two CAS steps looser (38 vs 36) and at a lower voltage (1.45V vs 1.5V). RGB lighting comes standard at this tier, matching the finish level of G.SKILL's Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 sibling, just at double the MT/s and a steeper CAS rating.

Tied 1st of 139 models in the RAM catalog on Speed — 6 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers measured excellent out-of-the-box performance from the XMP profile, provided the motherboard and processor support the speed.
  • They praise the finish and RGB lighting, note the reasonable 1.35V, and highlight the overclocking potential of its Hynix M-die chips.

Commonly criticised

  • Reviewers preferred the brand's cheaper DDR5-7200 kit for value, since it is more widely compatible and can be overclocked toward the same level.
