Team Group, a prominent player in the RAM market, has consistently delivered high-performance memory solutions for gamers. With the arrival of Intel’s 12th-gen processors and the Z690 chipset supporting DDR5 memory, Team Group quickly unveiled its latest offerings, including the top-tier T-Force Delta RGB DDR5, boasting speeds up to a blazing 6400MHz – perfect for today’s high-end gaming PCs. This article offers a first look at this impressive new RAM.

The T-Force brand represents Team Group’s gaming-focused products, similar to Gigabyte’s AORUS lineup. The Delta series falls within the mid-range of the T-Force memory family. Unlike premium DDR5 RAM like the Corsair Dominator Platinum, which comes in elaborate packaging, the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 features a compact black box. The front showcases the product with its signature crown-like design, updated from the DDR4 version. The back provides key technical details, notably featuring on-die ECC (Error Checking and Correction), typically found in server-grade RAM.

Unboxing reveals a familiar form factor, reminiscent of previous generations. However, unlike the flatter heatsink designs prevalent in KLEVV CRAS XR RGB or XPG LANCER RGB, the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 boasts a more robust, angled design that splits the heatsink into two distinct sections. The upper half features subtle embossed patterns and the signature illuminated “R” logo, while the lower half sports simple printed patterns. Combined with the M-shaped RGB light diffuser, a departure from the V-shape of the DDR4 version, this RAM complements bolder PC builds. The heatsink’s matte black finish, while stylish, is prone to fingerprints. The entire assembly is attached to the RAM module with a simple clip mechanism, eliminating the need for screws.

Features and Performance

The T-Force Delta RGB DDR5’s PCB is also black, matching the heatsink for a cohesive look. Atop the RAM stick sits the RGB diffuser, illuminated by a white plastic strip featuring the T-Force logo. This lighting system is compatible with popular RGB ecosystems like ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, allowing for seamless synchronization and stunning visual effects.

The most impressive feature is the remarkable 6400MHz maximum speed achievable with XMP 3.0, significantly faster than the 4800MHz to 5200MHz range seen in other DDR5 RAM kits. For context, even high-end motherboards like the MSI MPG Z690 Carbon Wifi only support up to 6666MHz, with more mainstream boards topping out at 6000MHz.

This high speed, however, comes at the cost of higher latency (CL40-40-40-84 @6400MHz). For a more ideal latency of CL38-38-38-78, comparable to other premium DDR5 RAM, users can opt to reduce the speed to 6200MHz. At this latency, the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 delivers a substantial performance boost for demanding games. Users working with large datasets might prioritize the higher speed and bandwidth.

Conclusion

With its impressive specifications, the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 promises explosive performance for gamers. Team Group’s commitment to rigorous testing is evident in this powerful offering. Given the Delta series’ mid-range positioning, users can anticipate even greater performance from the higher-end XTREEM RAM line in the future.
