G.Skill has launched the Trident Z5 CK series CUDIMM RAM, which is rated for DDR5-9600 straight out of the box. The company made these memory components specifically for the upcoming Intel Core Ultra 200 and Z890 motherboards, allowing users to enjoy faster transfer speeds without needing to tinker with the advanced BIOS settings of their system if they have a compatible motherboard.
However, you’ll need a compatible motherboard that supports Intel’s XMP 3.0 to enjoy the Trident Z5 CK’s DDR5-9600 speeds. Furthermore, it doesn’t have support for AMD EXPO yet, so we don’t recommend getting it if you’re building a Ryzen 9000-series rig. Nevertheless, if you know how to make serious tweaks like custom voltage settings and advanced memory timing on a Z890 motherboard like the ASUS ROG Maximum Z890 or the ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF, you could potentially hit DDR5-10000 in dual-channel mode on air cooling alone.
