TeamGroup T-Force DELTA TUF Gaming 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL38 Memory Kit Review

TeamGroup is the creator of some of the most high-quality memory products for the PC industry. They have come a long way since its inception in 1997 and went on to become one of the fastest-growing product manufacturers and a leading brand around the globe.

Since the arrival of DDR4 memory in the mainstream market, TeamGroup started a separate line of DIMM kits under their new T-Force brand. The T-Force brand is the more enthusiast and gamer-aimed memory series with a sheer focus on quality and performance. The company also focuses on creating custom memory kits and products for other brands such as ASUS's TUF Gaming and that's exactly the type of hardware we are going to test today.

For this review, we will be testing out the T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 memory kit in TUF Gaming flavors.

TeamGroup T-Force DELTA TUF Gaming 32 GB DDR5-6000 Memory Kit Specifications

The TeamGroup T-Force DELTA TUF Gaming 32 GB DDR5 memory kit is designed to offer a combination of great gaming aesthetics and performance. The kit I received is optimized at a clock speed of 6000 Mbps (PC5-48000). The memory kit consists of dual 16 GB DIMMs which make up a total of 32 GB in capacity.

The memory kit has a tested latency spec of CL38 and the timings are 38-38-38-78 for this specific kit. The voltage set at reference is 1.25V and the memory kit comes in an unbuffered package with an on-die ECC (Error Correction) design. The memory kit is fully compliant with AMD's EXPO and Intel's XMP profiles.

• Series: DELTAα RGB
• Module Type: 288 Pin Unbuffered DIMM On-Die ECC
• Capacity: 16GBx2
• Frequency: 6000 Mbps
• Data Transfer Bandwidth: 48.000 MB/s (PC5 48000)
• Dimensions: 46.1(H) x 144.2(L) x 7(W)mm
• Latency: CL38-38-38-78
  
• Tested Voltage: 1.25V

• Taiwan Utility Patent (number: M640994)

Intel Z790 / Core i9-13900K DDR5 Memory Test Setup

For testing, I used the latest Intel Core i9 13900K processor along with the Gigabyte Z790 AERO G motherboard which can support higher frequencies memory without any issues. The XMP & EXPO profile for each respective RAM kit was enabled.

DDR5 Memory Kit Performance Tests With Intel Core i9-13900K

I have separated the performance tests into two sections. The first section consists of synthetic and general workload tests while the second section focuses on gaming performance and how different games are affected by higher-clocked memory sticks.

AIDA64 Memory Bandwidth Benchmark

For AIDA64 memory tests, I ran the kits at stock speeds since overclocking isn't the main focus here as stated above.

SuperPI

Super PI is used by many overclockers to test the performance and stability of their computers. In the overclocking community, the standard program provides a benchmark for enthusiasts to compare “world record” pi calculation times and demonstrate their overclocking abilities. The program can also be used to test the stability of a certain overclock speed.

Winrar

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can back up your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP, and other files downloaded from the Internet, and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.

Gaming Performance Tests

Gaming applications generally don't see huge gains with different memory kits but DDR5 has enabled a huge gain in memory frequency which can impact gaming performance. Moving from the stock 2133 Mbps (DDR4) to 6000+ Mbps can have a huge effect on performance and the improved CAS timings on some of the high-end SKUs can result in better overall FPS and system responsiveness.

Furthermore, while 8 GB has become the standard for gaming PCs, modern applications such as editing software and multi-tasking users can benefit hugely from 16 GB and 32 GB kits which have become more common in the gaming market over the last couple of years.

Conclusion - TUF Gaming Theme At The Same Budget Pricing

The T-Force DELTA RGB series are some of the more mainstream modules that are great for budget PC builds. We have tested several DDR5 DELTA RGB modules from T-Force and all of them have performed great. Featuring a great selection of kits, profiles, and capacities, these kits should definitely be your go-to if you are looking to build a new PC. With the DELTA TUF Gaming series, the company offers a cool new look to its DELTA DDR5 lineup which still retails close to the $100 mark.

The same kit was also able to overclock up to DDR5-6666 MT/s with ease within its 1.25V spec. The heat spreader does a great job at keeping things cool and looks great with all of the illuminated RGB lighting from the diffuser on the top. The extra light will hide the TUF Gaming logos but you can set it to a dimmer lighting mode since the kits are compliant with RGB software from almost all motherboard vendors.

A few years ago, the same memory kit would've set you back for over $200 US but today, the prices are equivalent to DDR4 modules and availability is great. TeamGroup has a wide range of memory kits to select from and its latest DELTA series offerings in Alpha (EXPO) and TUF Gaming variants will be a great partner for your newest gaming build.
