TEAMGROUP T1 DDR4 GAMING 2x8GB DDR 2666 Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2019-06-09

The latest T-FORCE T1 memory kits from TEAMGROUP are designed for mainstream computers but also entry-level machines but even in this case, the manufacturer has used pre-screened IC chips in order to avoid stability issues and also feature pre-programmed XMP 2.0 profiles. At this price you are not getting RGB lighting or a heatspreaders (at the advertised speeds it won’t be mandatory anyways), but the modules still look quite interesting thanks to the white/red ink used on the PCB.

Test Setup and Test Results Part I

Test Setup

 

CPU: Intel i7 9700K Retail

CPU Cooler: Deepcool Captain 240 EX RGB AIO

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming

RAM: Currently tested kit

Video: KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB

Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W

SSD: OCZ Vector 150

Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840

 

The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as SK Hynix:

 

 

From the stock DDR4-2666 18-18-18-43 specs, we tried a bit of overclocking as well: by setting a voltage of 1.35V, we have managed to climb the frequency up to 2933MHz and adjusted the timings to 20-20-20-47 in order to be Memtest stable:

 

 

Starting with the JEDEC 2133MHz, we did benchmark the RAM step-by-step up to its stock 2666MHz frequency, in order for you to spot the performance differences. We did also benchmark until the maximum stable frequency of 2933, but because of the increased CAS latencies, only some applications took advantage of the increased bandwidth.

Test Results

 

SuperPI XS 1.5 2MB

 

GeekBench 4
