The front of the box that the memory comes in has a cut-out near the top, allowing you to see part of one of the modules. Below this are two award logos, and below these are two illustrations of what the memory looks like (both colour options). The bottom left of the box is home to AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 stickers, along with the Trident Z5 Neo RGB branding.
The rear of the box has two more cutouts (top and bottom), which let you see the SKU sticker attached to the module. To the right of the bottom cut-out is the product sticker that displays the module density and configuration. Below this product sticker is a line of logos representing the motherboard lighting software that the modules support: Asus Aura, ASRock Polychrome Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync.
The heat spreaders on the modules are made from aluminium finished in (in the case of the review sample) matte white with a black brushed aluminium insert (a matte black finish is also available). The spreaders give the module a height of 42.8mm. The modules are a dual-rank design. Under the heatsink, there are sixteen SK Hynix chips (H5CGD8?GBDX021 – M-die) along with a Richtek RTQ5132GQWF power management IC (PMIC).
The top of the module is home to the RGB defuser bar, which covers eight RGB zones that are controllable by either G.Skill's own Trident Z controller software or the motherboard's RGB system.
The memory runs at DDR5-5600 with timings of 46-45-45-90-135 (1.10V) natively with the single EXPO profile supporting DDR5-6000 with 28-36-36-96 timings at 1.35V.
