The TridentX utilizes a 2-piece heatspreader. If you wish (for either aesthetics or clearance), you can remove the metallic red portion by removing the small black screws securing it in place. Beneath the heatspreader is a matte black PCB.

Both sides of the modules have the TridentX name/logo on a sticker. One side has an additional sticker detailing speed, timings as well as a holographic portion that certifies authenticity.

The modules are 5.4cm (2.13”) high out-of-the-box, if you opt to remove the heatspreader it reduces this to 3.9cm (1.54”).

  1. you should maybe specify that in those benchmarks, to achieve 2500 mhz on memory, you also reached a higher frec. with the processor so the super-pi comparison (and most of your benchmarks) aren`t related only to the memory speed.

  2. I doubt it’s the CPU, it’s the memory. The 2400 C10 Trident X tend to be single-sided and use 4GBit Samsung ICs which won’t do much more than 2500.
