Today, we focus on the T-Force Z540, now available with new firmware and improvements that promise exceptional performance. As with all T-Force products, the Z540 is also designed for the most demanding gamers and power users. Since the SSD is sold without a cooler, it's recommended to use a motherboard cooler or some other type, like the one provided by Team Group—DARK AirFlow I. Our tests will include this cooler as a recommended option to keep optimal temperatures and performance of our new Z540 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD.

G.Skill made us wait for its top series for a long time as DDR5 is already available for nearly three chipset generations. DDR5 modules get improved Royal heatsinks with fantastic RGB illumination, but for most users, the most important is underneath them. As you expect, the Royal series is built on premium ICs, but I won't tell you everything in the introduction, and you have to read our review to find out more.

Outside of the obvious that it's a 4070 Super and slim compared to the 3-slot plus monsters we're used to seeing, the MLG version (where their Dragon, Lucky, turns into the Dragon Princess) sports red highlights, and it includes a magnetic backplate with a picture of their anime-style princess.
