Teamgroup T-Force Night Hawk RGB DDR4 Memory Review - A Double Data-Rate Introduction

NIGHT HAWK RGB DDR4 Memory
Teamgroup T-Force DDR4 RGB LED Lit Kits

In this article we review the new T-Force RGB series Night Hawk DDR4 memory from Teamgroup. Not only do these puppies look awesome, they are properly specced as well. We received a 2 x 8GB DDR4 3,000MHz CAS 16 DRAM, so that is 16GB at your disposal for dual-channel memory configurations. 

RGB series everything are a hip and trendy thing. Hey LEDs are relative cheap to use as hardware, and fairly easy to control. Next to that, when done right (and I do say that with quite some emphasis) they can look great. We've see motherboards, coolers, keyboards, mice and chassis RGB flavored. Some hideous, others drop down gorgeous. Admittedly, there's LED and then there's proper LED implementation that works good and looks good.

Teamgroup has been subtle with their RGB implementation though. The new T-Force RGB kit DDR4 modules as far as I am concerned do fall within that last category as they have been implemented in an incredibly aesthetically pleasing manner. Teamgroup is working with the motherboard partners, and as such ASUS is already supporting the DIMMS, that means you can control the LEDs in relation to color and animation. As such this DDR4 RGB kit can be controlled with their AURA SYNC software. At defaults though this kit will revert to the most popular setting, a sweet looking rainbow of colors in a wave-style lighting effect, illuminating your PC with a many shades of RGB.

The fun part of the RGB memory kits is that it does not require extra cables and connectors. You seat the memory, install your software suite and from there on-wards communication takes place over the system SMBus. Next to all the RGB bling this is a high-frequency and and reasonably low latency kit. Our kit for example runs an effective 3,000 MHz DDR4 data-rate at CL16, offering plenty of memory bandwidth.

  


DDR4 memory modules you can choose plenty from and honestly, cheap but dull all green Kingston Value memory for example works absolutely fine. Then there is regular mainstream DIMMs, then step it up a little and say high-frequency memory is a hint faster and often cooler looking inside your PC with the fancy designs and heat-spreaders. For the last stage in the channel there's enthusiast grade memory for the performance enthusiasts.

Stylish RAM memory for the people that need fast performance, the people that build their own PCs, perhaps customize it a little. In that mindset, Teamgroup released an new series based on quality, performance and LED lit aesthetics in the T-Force RGB package.

These DIMMs will most certainly not be the cheap, but do offer great looks and nice frequencies that can be enabled with a simple XMP profile in your BIOS. We received a dual-channel kit, 16GB of it... configured over 2 DIMMs thus holding 8GB per DIMM module.

TeamGroup Delta RGB DDR5 6000 MHz CL40 review
Today, we are checking the TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 6000 MHz CL40. This is the first DDR5 kit that I had contact with, and overall it’s already from the upper range of the new type of memory (so a nice debut). It has been introduced together with the Intel Alder Lake CPU family but should also be implemented in the AMD AM5 platform. But getting back to the reviewed product, the first information about the new series from TeamGroup memory was published in August’21 (but the maximum frequency was 5600 MHz at that time). The sample that we got is a 2 x 16 GB 6000 MHz model, so it’s a high-frequency kit.
