CL timings are far from lean, but not altogether unexpected given the high clock-rates. The modules will, of course, support XMP 2.0 technology. This will make for simple work enabling overclocked profiles and sub-timings. The memory modules will feature the classic Trident Z aluminum heat spreaders, and RGB lighting will be offered as well.
G.SKILL has tested and validated their new Trident Z memory (specifically the 4266MHz, 16GB kit) on the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Apex motherboard and the i7-7700K. Another test consisted of the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula and the i5-7600K, using the 4133MHz, 32 GB kit.
The DDR4-4266MHz, 16GB (8x2) kit is already listed at Newegg for $250.
