Team Group has been around for quite sometime and it is great to see the brand stepping up and venturing into 'gaming' themed hardware with the introduction of their T-FORCE line. The T-FORCE Dark DDR4 in particular features a unique eye-catching 4-piece heat spreader design likened to a 'dark knight' which doesn't only add to the aesthetics but also improves cooling of the heat spreader.
The Dark DDR4 kit is offered in black/red and black/grey which should fit most of the gaming themed hardware offered today. However, given that there are kits offered with RGB lighting customization today, we could say the color options of the Dark DDR4 is rather limited compared to other offerings.
With the kit optimized for Z170 use, stability of the kit was excellent. With 16-18-18-36 timings and a low operating voltage of 1.25V, the kit has excellent gaming performance through hours of Overwatch with browsers and other applications running in the background even though it may be outperformed by other offerings in our tests. You can find the Dark DDR4 black/red and black/grey 16GB (2x8GB) 3000Mhz kit in the UK for £109.99, US for $109.99 at the time of this writing which is one the cheaper side of DDR4 kits. Its great value and stability makes it worthy to be considered on your next gaming PC.
If you are looking for a great gaming themed DDR4 kit without the fancy and bright LED lighting, the Team Group T-FORCE Dark DDR4 with its beefy dark knight armor heat sink might meet your expectations.
