The main difference between the Trident Z5 Neo RGB and the standard Trident Z RGB is that the Neo version is optimised for AMD platforms, while the standard Trident Z RGB is designed primarily for Intel platforms. Additionally, the Neo has a more symmetrical design on both sides and improved LED stability, reducing the «wiggle» effect seen in the standard RGB version. Performance-wise, the Neo may have tighter timings and better compatibility with AMD CPUs, but the differences are mostly relevant for AMD systems. The Neo also features a distinct brushed metal look on both sides compared to the standard RGB's asymmetrical design.
