G.Skill is offering DDR3 memory kits for Intel's Ivy bridge processors and Z77 platform.
Released as TridentX series memory kits, the devices are available in 2400 MHz, 2600 MHz, 2666 MHz and 2800 MHz versions. The company says that the 2800 MHz kit has been overclocked to 3320 MHz, while the 2666 MHz kit has reached 2933 MHz.
According to the manufacturer, the TridentX memory ships with a removable top fin heat spreader to provide more flexibility when enthusiasts want to use the memory with other memory cooling systems.
The new TridentX memory is offered in 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB kits. pricing has not been released.

Well, they do tend to look nice and that seems to be their usual purpose.
If you're not going for extreme RAM OCing, RAM heatsinks and waterblocks are useless.

usually yes they are just for looks but for these they might actually put off enough heat to warrant having a heat spreader on the RAM sticks as they go almost twice the entry speeds of the first Sandy bridge RAM memory controller speeds ( they were later increased to higher DDR3 speeds ). What i am also wondering is in the spec for Ivy bridge it had 2 memory controllers one for DDR3 and one for XDR so where is our XDR RAM motherboards or was that memory controller dropped in the final design of Ivy bridge?
Things that make you go Hmmmmmm
Did you see the first comment?
Because you need some more juice to run at those speeds I'd assume.
If you read Intel's spec sheets then you'll see they say that 7-series mobos support both 1.35v and 1.5v RAM. In fact even some of the newer 6-series mobos had support for 1.35v.
I guess these 1.65v sticks are for compatible motherboards only, or if you're adventurous enough
+1
I though we were done with high voltage RAM. It looks like were going backwards instead of forward.
You mean that being pretty isn't a use?
with this RAM simply leave the RAM at default ratio and just push the bus speed as far as you need.
