G.Skill’s 128 GB DDR5-8000 RAM kit, the first high-capacity memory to achieve such speeds, is reshaping my perspective on flashy PC hardware.

I’m the sort of PC enthusiast that likes my hardware understated. I’m not immune to a bit of RGB lighting, you understand, but I tend to shy away from ultra-flashy builds out of sheer British reservedness. This golden G.Skill DDR5-8000 RAM kit, however, is making me reconsider my timid ways—and it’s as fast as a very fast thing, too.

The G.Skill DDR5-8000 Trident Z5 Royal Neo kit, to give it it’s full name, is comprised of two 64 GB modules, replete in gold with diamante-style accents. It’s the sort of hardware that normally has me turning my nose up in faux disgust, but there’s something Cyberpunk 2077-like about these particular sticks that’s had me debating whether they’d look good in my otherwise nearly-all-black rig.
