G.Skill Ripjaws F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5W | G.Skill Ripjaws F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR

I get that timings are different, but i'm curious about RS5W and TZ5NR. And if one of these is on the MBO compatibility list and the other is not would it work anyway?

RS5W

  • Ripjaws S5
  • DDR5-6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.35V
  • 32GB (2x16GB)
  • Intel XMP

TZ5NR

  • Trident Z5 Neo RGB
  • DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96 1.35V
  • 32GB (2x16GB)
  • AMD EXPO

Technically they are using different "factory overclocking" profiles. XMP is for Intel while EXPO is for AMD. They should work all right on competiting platforms as the memory ICs themselves are supposed to be able to run at the rated clock and timings.

Mobo compatibility lists are bs. Any ram works with any mobo. At best the list is just the kits they bothered to verify that are built and performs well, at worst it's just advertisement for the ram company.

RS is ripjaws (low profile xmp), FX is flare x (low profile expo), TZ is Trident Z (high profile). 5 is the ddr version. In Trident Z models N suffix indicates expo, others are xmp. R is for rgb and other letters are colors (w - white, s -silver, k - black).

Expo is for amd xmp is for Intel, though almost all amd boards recognize xmp and some Intel boards recognize expo too. Everything else equal, expo should be marginally faster.

That pretty much clears it up, I'll be going with Trident Z5 then. Thank you all for quick answers.
