Hmm ... looks neat, but I really like Trident Z series from G.Skill ever since DDR4 came out. Before that, Dominator Platinums were my favorite from Corsair for the longest time.
I liked how Trident Z did RGB as well, lights were diffused, which added a really neat touch and then others followed too.
Right now I kinda like their Royal series, I might replace my current Trident Z ones with those in next year build, depending on the theme for the build I go with since they can be a bit too gaudy.
yeh that royal line is some slick asf RGB, this coming from a guy who wishes RGB or at least manufacturers putting it on everything, even if comes at the cost of something likely much more wanted/needed such as proper airflow through the stupid heatsink/VRM on some mobo whom I suppose thought it was more of a suggestion than a want (proper motherboard cooling even if not the best airflow...pretty bad when can take something off they added at factory and it drops temperatures idle and load noticeable degrees celsius, definitely can tell when put on take off and can see the change more or less real time...hence they need be far more concerned about everything else, RGB can be plopped on/wired in more or less right before they stuff into a box...it might even ensure they make sure their RGB works "everytime" not have to wait weeks/months for drivers that should be included day 1..bloody hell
(ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte are all "guilty"...I sure hope not a single one of them ever uses heatshield for m.2 drives anymore, at least not without some visible cooling "fins" instead of something that traps more than it wicks away...MSI..LOL

So, B die is discontinued and companies are introducing new B die designs.I suppose they're hoping for a massive price increase as enthusiasts try to get the last ones.
