I'm going to buy a new G skill Ram Kit. But I found two models for the same brand which made me confused about which one to go with. So, Can Anyone please tell me the difference between those G. Skill Memories and which of them would be better for Ryzen 5 7600x ?
1-G. Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32GB (16×2) 6000 MHz DDR5
2-G. Skill Ripjaws M5 32GB (16x2)
6000MHz DDR5

In many cases the difference is the cover over the memory chip and lighting or not, at least that has commonly been the case with their DDR4. When you looked further into it the speed, latency, and timings were often the same between the models with a different look. I would seek some verification on this aspect with DDR5 as I don't have enough experience with it to speak confidently....I will say that my continued good experiences with G Skill in general led me to get their brand for most of my personal purchases. RipsJaws is technically a great value for as good a RAM as it is when money is tight on a build.

You need to make sure you get the Neo version of the Ripjaws M5 which supports AMD Expo:

Also the Ripjaws is only available in one 2x16GB size, one 6000 speed and one latency setting. The Trident is available in 4 sizes, 5 speeds and several latency settings, 2 of which are lower than the Ripjaws.
