New name, new heatspreader. Although RAM tends to stay cool, the Trident X has a pretty beefy amount of aluminium to help things remain frosty.
Compared to the Ripjaws X the Trident is pretty beefy. In fact it's only beaten for height by the massive T1 cooler on the Kingston. Thankfully G.Skill have come up with a genius idea, in that the larger fins at the top are removable with just a couple of little screws.

Awesome review! Finally an 8GB Trident X Kit 
A good review once again, and I think this really hammers it home that anything more than 1600MHz is a waste, unless it's the same price as the 1600MHz DIMMs.
He says...with his overpriced 2133MHz RAM -.-

Idk if its just me but Id like to see some 1600mhz kit with tight timings rather than just high clocked with loose timings. I guess its possible to underclock and get lower latencies but perhaps companies could sell the 1600mhz at a cheaper price because big numbers = bigger price a lot of the time.
Can anyone recommend a ram water block for these sticks? Thanks

Tight timings makes SFA difference to 1155, its all about the bandwidth aka - MHz when it comes to good performance with these.
Oh. Hmm I will have to remember that if and when I upgrade.
