Packaging, we show you everything my man -- we always start off with packaging so you know what to look for in the stores -- it's as simple as that really.

Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. These are 8GB 3200 MHz DIMMs in a kit of 2 DIMMs. Nice design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. Intel XMP version 2.0 is of course supported, so you're not at all tied to a TUF motherboard.

As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latencies of 16-18-18-38 at 1.35 Volts, and that's your normal latency for this type of memory alright. For optimal stability, we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer's suggested settings at default SPD or that preconfigured XMP profile. If you're gonna tweak you're advised to force 1.35v in the BIOS.

We like the black PCB and the camo TUF styles heat spreader, styling wise (hey, it matters) this is a very tasteful kit as well as aesthetically wise. The kits are quad and dual-channel compatible of course depending on the number of DIMMs you use, you could opt for a quad-channel 32GB kit with four DIMMs. Expensive memory often comes to some extras, Teamgroup offers a limited lifetime warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that.

We received a nice 16GB kit (2 DIMMs), currently in 2018 16GB with two DIMMs is recommended. These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as a minimum, 16GB for a little extra if you are actively gaming on your gaming rig, and 32GB for the ones that use memory intensive applications / do memory intensive transcoding and/or content creation.
