The short version
The Trident Z5 Neo RGB pairs two 16GB SK hynix M-die modules with a single AMD EXPO profile at 6000 MT/s, 30-38-38-96 and 1.35 V, and stands 42 mm tall. Tom's Hardware named it an Editor's Choice for Ryzen 7000 builds and pushed it to DDR5-6200 at 1.4 V. With only an EXPO profile it is aimed at AM5, so Intel builders should look elsewhere or enter the timings by hand.
Pros
- Tight 30-38-38-96 timings at 6000 MT/s and 1.35 V per Tom's Hardware's review
- SK hynix M-die ICs reached DDR5-6200 at 1.4 V in that review
- Built-in AMD EXPO profile aimed at AM5 systems
- 42 mm module height
- Lifetime warranty
Cons
- Only an AMD EXPO profile is embedded, so Intel boards rely on manual settings
- Readable US listings when checked came from third-party Best Buy Marketplace sellers
- The review of this kit dates from early 2023
Best for
- AM5 builds that want a tuned EXPO kit at DDR5-6000
- RGB builds with room for 42 mm modules

What reviewers and owners say
Tom's Hardware · Zhiye Liu
PositiveAn Editor's Choice for Ryzen 7000: it ran at its rated EXPO settings without trouble, posted strong results and managed DDR5-6200 at 1.4 V, with launch pricing as the only real complaint.

Common questions
Does this kit work on Intel motherboards?
It carries a single AMD EXPO profile, so Intel boards would not get the rated settings automatically. Intel builders should choose an XMP kit or enter 6000 MT/s and the timings manually.
How tall are the modules?
Tom's Hardware lists Trident Z5 modules at 42 mm tall, so large air coolers that overhang the DIMM slots still need a clearance check.
What settings does the EXPO profile apply?
Tom's Hardware reports that the EXPO profile sets 6000 MT/s with 30-38-38-96 timings at 1.35 V, while the default without it is DDR5-4800 with 40-40-40-77 timings.
