Specifications and features

Let’s start with some information from the manufacturer:

“Night Hawk RGB strikes a new color scheme and new specifications, NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB edition. Provided DDR4 3200 and DDR4 3466 8 GB x2 high frequency solutions. Which will focus on both performance and compatibility for Intel and AMD platforms. Meanwhile this would make the Legend edition really fits the role in gaming and become the dream device for enthusiastic gamers for the best gaming experience. T-FORCE NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB offers full-color, variable, synchronized lighting. The lighting and synchronization are controlled with T-FORCE BLITZ or ASUS Aura Sync and after being synchronized, there are 8 built-in light display modes to choose from. You may also control the lighting and some synchronization effects with GIGABYTE’s RGB Fusion or MSI’s Mystic Light Sync or ASRock’s Polychrome Sync. Besides, you can express yourself by customizing your own lighting display. No matter which you choose, it is sure to look cool.

TEAMGROUP design team inherits the unique style from the NIGHT HAWK, also adding the battle line that shines as bright as the sun around the hawk eyes. Moreover, it is using top notch extrusion process and high precision CNC computer machining to finely create a symmetric type heat spreader like hawk wings. After NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB is installed on the motherboard, the sharp hawkeyes start to shine bright, the invincible nighthawk is ready to fly and dominate the world of gaming.
NIGHT HAWK RGB is using the latest JEDEC RC 2.0 PCB. Compared to other manufacturers, the transmitting signal of PCB is increased by 35%. Since the distance between the power layer and the signal layer has increased, there will be no interference between the power and the signal, also has a better efficiency and performance. It offers players the ultimate sensation of overclocking and a highly stable memory module.

The TEAMGROUP design team had built a LED luminous memory module with an all-new design concept. It is using top-notch extrusion process and high precision CNC computer machining to finely create the hawk wings symmetric type heat spreader with the unique hawkeyes design on the LED light guide panel. After NIGHT HAWK is installed on the motherboard, the hawkeyes glitter sharply and the NIGHT HAWK is ready to spread its wings to fly into the night of racing sensation.“

Ok, now we can check what we have on the table. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die.

According to the program, the chips under the “hood” are the Samsung B-Die (in 20 nm process), famous for its overclocking potential.

As for the price, the MSRP is about 220EUR/230 USD/200 GBP. This is quite a good price for a 3200 MHz 16 GB RGB memory kit with CL14. The chips are covered with a heatsink to ensure that memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance. You put the sticks in, enable the XMP profile (which is in fact the industry standard, and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with some photo-shooting first, and then move on to the practical part (benchmark/games).
