[SOLVED] Can anyone with X470Pro confirm compatibility.

Does anyone know from experience if the X470 pro will support G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) its not listed as a mobo for G.Skill

The standard Trident Z CL14s are listed but not the royal... Makes me nervous

You could contact G.Skill, they should be able to let you know if the Royals will work with that MB.

Same thing. Samsung and SkHynix make all the ic's for the gskill Trident-Z series, the Royals are supposedly better binned, but have standard CL timings. This allows for better OC above and beyond the jedec settings and the best chance of stability/compatability at rated speeds. That and the Royals have a limited edition heatsink/rgb.

For all intents and purposes, the Royals are the Dominators of the gskill brand.

As far as speed compatability goes, the Royals shouldn't have any issues, speeds are set by the cpu/memory controller, which for 2ndGen Ryzen is 3200MHz on the jedec tables. The RGB is a different story, it's not a standard controller so may or may not be compatible. As far as I know, Asus Aura Sync was compatible, but not sure if gskill has released compatability for the other rgb controller softwares. Might be the reason it's not listed as compatible.

That RGB is the only reason I spent more to get them , so they better work lol

They are stunning, and I'm not really a fan of over-the-top rgb, but nobody has anything remotely close. I personally think the Trident's have the best looking rgb out of all the vendors, especially the 4stick kits, but the Gigabyte Aorus RGB ram offering 2x stick kits with 2x matching 'dummys' to fill the other 2 slots is a Ryzen dream made reality. Thumbs up from me for those kits, it's about time.

My case has the dark Tempered glass side panels that make my RGB look fasincating without seeing the motherboard itself, so not having the dummy sticks in my other ports does not show if you know what I mean. But ALL my components have RGB except my wireless card.

 

[Karadjgne]

Yep, know exactly what you mean. My build will have zero rgb, there's not enough room for all that light lol. Ncase M1 with full custom loop and 2x 240mm radiators. Wouldn't mind some airflow, but air takes up too much room too.

Got my Trident Royals in today FAST!! They are also quite a looker with that crystal RGB! Loving it
