No, Trident Z Neo is not compatible with Trident Z RGB.
UPDATE: Yup, they work seamlessly as long as XMP is already enabled before installing the sticks. Hi. Long story short my brother bought me a G.skill 16gb 8x2 kit as a gift so I can upgrade my current G.skill sticks from 16gb to 32gb. The only problem is that I think he bought a different version. What I currently have: G.skill Trident Z RGB 16gb 8x2 DDR4-3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 1.35V (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) What my brother bought me: G.skill Trident Z Neo 16gb 8x2 DDR4-3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 1.35V (F4-3200C16D-16GTZN) Of course he’s too generous to buy me a RAM kit as Christmas gift that I don’t want to tell him that he bought me a wrong version. Both specs look very identical, so I want to ask if they’ll be compatible with each other anyway. I use XMP Profile 1 in my BIOS.

At the specified 3200MHz frequency there should be no problems, though you might face some if you exceed it.
They function flawlessly now. Initially the PC wouldn't start, but after some troubleshooting I discovered I had turned off XMP prior to inserting the drives. After reactivating it, everything worked properly. I won't be upgrading past 3200mhz anytime soon.
