Introduction
We’ve already taken a closer look at the flagship DDR4 model from T-Force with the T-Force XTREEM ARGB DDR4 memory kit. These are the most beautiful RGB memories in the market right now and I stand by that opinion. Personal bias aside, speeds were still limited during its release but today we’re taking a look at the faster DDR4-3600 kit from T-Force as well as being the white version. We just happen to have some white gear in for review and as this won’t really touch much on the details and focus primarily on the performance of these kits.
The new T-Force XTREEM ARGB memory kits include an expanded speed lineup and also lower timings. This does come at the cost of higher voltages but at this point in time, memory chips have already matured to really perform well at higher spec rates.
In this review we’ll be taking a look at the T-Force XTREEM ARGB DDR4-3600 CL18 (white) 16GB (2x8GB) white memory kits. We’ve already done reviews for 32GB kits and TeamGroup does offer these kits in 32GB sets in DDR4-3600 with the higher DDR4-4000 the highest speeds that the 16GB sticks can get with T-Force only offering the faster sticks at 2x8GB kits.

Conclusion
Its hard not to talk about the main features of this kit and that’s the RGB: its up to personal preference and personally, I’d like the entire RAM to be illuminated rather than just the top bar. While the argument stands that you only see the top, the illumination is something that spans a certain area and I am one of those people that this is what real RGB should look like.
TeamGroup has brought this kit prestige as they push higher-speed kits to the line. With higher performing yield becoming more available, T-Force’s offering have really been stacked and the T-Force Xtreem ARGB kits are a very interesting line to check when looking at the more flashier side of things while still keeping performance in mind.
Ultimately, TeamGroup does ask for a slight premium for this kit. But that’s completely subjective in either direction you go: whether looks or performance, this is definitely a flagship product and only two memory kits have either the prestige or aesthetic to match and both the Corsair Dominator Platinum and the G.Skill Trident Z Royal hold distinct premium price points as well so it would really boil down to your personal preference in looks especially if you’re not overclocking.
Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, I give the T-Force Xtreem ARGB DDR4 White kit my B2G Editor’s Choice award!
