We'll peek at new T-Force VULCAN TUF DDR4 from TeamGroup, it is a dual-channel 3200 MHz kit with the ability to be tweaked a little. It's TUF, meaning the heat spreader has been aligned with ASUS TUF Sabertooth motherboards (2018 models) as well as offering full support on these boards. Of course, it has XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel and an AMD Ryzen platform as well. Join us as we review the 16GB kit

Meeh, you can argue the benefits of CL 14 vs 16 for a mainstream DDR4 kit. For Ryzen yeah sure it helps a bit, for Intel ... would it really matter that much to you?

if its samsung b-die, you should be able to get better timing than 16-18-18 did you try booting at 14-14-14 1.4 volt, it should work pretty easily

For 3200MHz and at that voltage, those timings are pretty bad.

I think it is on everyone's decision. With 4 sticks I can't get perfectly stable 3200MHz no matter what timings.
But 3000MHz with tight timings performs better.
On other hand very expensive kits which do better do not deliver improvement high enough to justify price bump.
Therefore I think, this is OK kit. Especially since it runs just fine out of the box and can be tweaked.
