The Trident Z5 Neo and Flare X5 series of DDR5 memory, created for the new AMD RyzenTM 7000 Series CPUs and 600 series motherboards, are two new DDR5 memory series from G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., one of the world’s top brands of performance overclock memory and PC components. Offerings from the Trident Z5 Neo series range from RGB (Trident Z5 Neo RGB) to non-RGB (Trident Z5 Neo). The Trident Z5 Neo and Flare X5 series let PC enthusiasts, gamers, and overclockers experience the performance of the new AMD AM5 platform thanks to AMD EXPOTM technology1 and hand-screened memory ICs.

AMD EXPO Technology Support for AMD Socket AM5
The Trident Z5 Neo and Flare X5 series is designed for DDR5 memory-enabled AMD RyzenTM 7000 Series desktop CPUs and are pre-loaded with the most recent AMD EXPO (EXtended Profiles for Overclocking) memory profiles, making it simple for customers to overclock the memory kits1. Users may unleash overclocked memory speeds on AMD RyzenTM 7000 Series CPUs by simply setting the AMD EXPO profile in the BIOS with a compatible motherboard and processor.
“We are thrilled to partner with G.SKILL to bring AMD EXPO technology to enthusiasts, gamers, and overclockers worldwide,” according to AMD’s David McAfee, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Client Channel Business Unit. “AMD EXPO technology gives users peace of mind when selecting the memory, unlocking improved memory performance with the click of a button.”
Legacy of the Neo Flagship
The new Trident Z5 Neo and Trident Z5 Neo RGB series, which bear the flagship Trident family moniker, are designed specifically for overclocking performance on the most recent platform with AMD RyzenTM 7000 Series CPUs. The famous powder-coated matte black of the heat spreader design is still there, and it is combined with a high-quality black brushed aluminum inlay, which suits the color schemes of most motherboards. The CNC highlight strips around the sides lend a further metallic gloss to the heat spreader design while maintaining the Neo aesthetic.
Flare X5 – DDR5 for AM5
The Flare X5 series DDR5 memory, which comes in a matte black finish, is the replacement for the Flare X series DDR4 memory. The Flare X5 is built using hand-screened IC chips that have been quality- and performance-tested, and it is tailored for the new DDR5-enabled AM5 architecture. The Flare X5 is also a great option for small rigs or systems with large CPU coolers that don’t have enough clearance height for taller memory modules because of its 33mm low-profile height.
Specifications & Availability
September 2022 will see the release of the Trident Z5 Neo, Trident Z5 Neo RGB, and Flare X5 series DDR5 memory kits through G.SKILL’s international distribution partners. For a list of specs, please see the table below.
