Designed for enthusiasts and gamers, TeamGroup's T-Force XTREEM DDR5 memory comes in a variety of speeds and kit sizes. At the time of writing the product line consists of:
- 96GB kit (6800MT/s CL36 1.4V),
- 64GB kit (6000MT/s CL34, 6400MT/s CL38 both 1.35V), 48GB (8200MT/s, 8000MT/s both CL38 @ 1.40V, 7600MT/s CL36 @ 1.40V, 7200MT/s CL34 @1.4V and 6800MT/s CL34 @ 1.40V).
- 32GB kit (8000MT/s CL38 @ 1.45V, 7600MT/s CL36 @.1.4V, 7200MT/s and 6800MT/s both at CL34 @ 1.40V and 6400MT/s CL32 @ 1.35V) and two 6000MT/s options, one CL38 @ 1.25V the other CL30 @.1.35V.
In terms of profiles, the 8200MT/s modules and above have XMP 3.0 profiles, while 8000MT/s and below have both XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles.
TeamGroup has used quite a tall module for the XTREEM range at 48.8mm so you might have to check for clearance if using any air cooling on a CPU. The modules come in three colours; Narvick Black, Snow White and if you want to be really different – Diamond Rose. The heat spreaders are constructed from 2mm thick aluminium alloy and have four alloy fins on the top half of the back of the spreaders. The modules have a slightly rough feel when handled which is due to the aluminium being sandblasted.
TeamGroup supplied us with a 32GB Snow White kit of DDR5-7600 for review. It uses a pair of single-rank 16GB DIMMs using SK Hynix A-die ICs. The memory runs at DDR5-2800 with timings of 46-46-46-90-136 (1.10V) natively with two Intel XMP 3.0 / EXPO profiles supporting DDR5-7600 with 36-45-45-84-129 timings at 1.40V and DDR5-6000 using 38-38-38-78 timings at 1.25V.
Performance-wise, the T-Force XTREEM 7600MT/s is something of a mixed bag. Used in the Intel test rig it gave the fastest AIDA read/write scores we've seen to date but that is not the case using the AMD system where its read result puts it mid-table. With the 7Zip benchmark, the memory sits in third spot for both platforms. The Handbrake test results were disappointing for both Intel and AMD systems.
We found a 32GB kit of TeamGroup T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7600MHz (Snow White) on Overclockers UK for £175 (inc VAT) HERE.
Pros
- Overall performance.
- Build quality.
- Limited lifetime warranty.
Cons
- Some test results were a little disappointing.
KitGuru says: TeamGroup's T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7600 32GB kit we looked at offered a mixed bag of results, It is the fastest we've seen to date in the AIDA 64 benchmark (Intel) but on the flip side the Cinebench 2024 and Handbrake test results were disappointing. And at 48.8mm high, if you use air cooling for your CPU you might have to check any clearance issues.
