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. The bottom left of the box is home to the AMD EXPO sticker 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, configuration and what the EXPO profile provides. 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 black with a black brushed-aluminium insert (a matte white finish is also available). The spreaders give the module a height of 42.8mm. The modules are a dual-rank design; under each heatsink, there are sixteen 4GB Samsung chips (K4RBH086VM-BCWM – M-die according to the Thaiphoon Burner utility) 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 which are controlled by either G.Skill's own controller software or by the motherboard RGB system.
The memory runs at DDR5-5600 with timings of 46-45-45-90-135 (1.10V) natively with the single EXPO and Intel XMP profiles supporting DDR5-6000 with 34-44-44-96-140 timings at 1.35V.
