Had nothing but issues with my tridentz the software is buggy always have to run it as default as the various profiles only work when they want to sometimes I'll get a a stick that wont even light up
Trident z rgb is more sexy. I got mine on sale at Microcenter few weeks ago. $115 for 2x8gb 3000MHz. Performance is the same and OC is the same. It came down to which one looks better for me.
Corsair, had similar issues then the ones mentioned above with the gskill software I have two sticks and one sometimes won't light up unless I completely uninstall the software... Always conflicts with other rgb software
Corsair. Heaps of issues with the gskill software it's pretty common mentioned all over the net and even here after reading the comments. It is buggy as hell, looks great when it works though if you can get it to work that is
