  • X79 and TridentX

    Hello, dear G.Skill forum members,

    I have one question that bothering me. I'm creating new PC build on X79 platform and looking for good memory 32 GB kit. G.Skill is exellent choice, especially G.Skill TridentX 2400 CL10 series which could be purchased for reasonable price in my country. However, from G.Skill docs and memory configurator output I found that recommended memory for X79 platform is RipjawsZ (equal 2400 CL10 kit costs $55 more) and there is nothing about TridentX.

    Will purchasing G.Skill TridentX 32GB kit for X79 platform put me into trouble with compatibility? Will it be the good choice or I should pay for copmpatibility extra $55 or stick with RipjawsZ 2133CL9?

    P.S. Mobo is ASUS X79-deluxe.

    You'll be fine with the tridents, but if you have a sb-e processor you may have an issue running @2400 the ivy-e processors seems to usually have no trouble

      Thank you for your answer!
      As far as I understood, because my CPU will be 4930k I without doubts can purchase 32GB TridentX kit and it will work from scratch on its 2400MHz?

      Dear GSKILL experts, what's the real difference between TridentX and Ripjaws Z 2400/CL10 kits in terms of using one in X79-deluxe/4930k system? If I don't need fans.

        No memory will go above 1600 from scratch but you should just have to enable xmp in the bios and it should work

          Trident X and Ripjaws Z 2400/CL10 kits will be about the same. The only main difference will be heat spreader.

          Thank you

            I set Trident X only 16GB and it works great on the X79 with frequency 2400, will it work 32GB I do not know, but XMP profile usually not working.
