TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 32GB(2x16GB) DDR5-7000 C34 Review – Best Value

TeamGroup is one of the leading memory and storage brands known for the brand’s competitive pricing and early product releases. TeamGroup is one of the first brands to release its DDR5 memory modules when DDR5 hit the market with Intel 12th Generation Processors. Today, we’re taking a look at the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 desktop memory, TeamGroup’s DDR5 memory for gaming which is also one first DDR5 modules to be released in the market with speeds up to 8200 MT/s.

TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Specs and Configuration

Unlike most memory brands, TeamGroup doesn’t heavily segment its gaming memory line depending on the specs of the DDR5 modules. Instead, TeamGroup offers a wide range of configurations with speeds ranging from the basic JEDEC-4800 all the way to 8200 MT/s for its T-Force Delta series. Our specific review sample is the T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 32GB(2x16GB) 7200MHz CL34 kit.

TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 – Unboxing and First Impressions

TeamGroup uses a uniform packaging design for its T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 series. As indicated in the packaging, the memory module is available in black and white. A sticker on the upper right side of the front packaging shows the capacity and speed configuration. Moving to the back is a cutout to show the serial of the memory modules as well as a peak to see its color.

TeamGroup includes the warranty card and a TForce sticker inside the packaging.

TeamGroup retained the silhouette design of the T-Force Delta series DDR5 memory modules. The heat spreader on the DDR5 sticks has fewer bumps and curvatures versus its last-gen counterparts but also has more markings.

RGB Lighting has definitely improved with this year’s iteration, especially the diffusion throughout the LED bar. The TeamGroup TForce Delta RGB is compatible with all motherboard lighting software.

Benchmark Setup and Test Methodology

Gadget Pilipinas’ testing philosophy is to provide detail-oriented results as accurately as possible so that our readers can replicate our tests given that these conditions are met. Different benchmarking apps and sequences are used depending on the tested component or device.

We use CapFrameX 1.7.1 as our primary FPS capture and analysis tool for all our gaming benchmarks. The latest build version of Windows 11 Pro and WHQL-certified drivers are used for our benchmarks. Readings such as temperatures and power draws are recorded using HWINFO64, and other relevant software for cross-checking.

PROCYON

Procyon benchmark suite is developed by the UL, the same team behind 3DMark and PCMark benchmarks. The UL Procycon video editing benchmark uses Adobe Premiere in a typical video editing workflow. The benchmark starts by importing two video project files with various edits, adjustments, and effects – the second project uses several GPU-accelerated effects. Each project is exported in 1080p with H.264 encoding and again in 4K with HEVC H.265. The reported score is based on the time taken to export all four videos. 

wPrime 1024M

wPrime is a benchmark tool similar to SuperPI, but the former takes on finding prime numbers using Newton’s Method. The benchmark is set to calculate 1024 million prime numbers, and the performance is measured according to calculation time. 

V-RAY

V-Ray Benchmark is a stand-alone version of V-Ray developed by Chaos Group. It is designed to test the CPU and GPU by rendering sample scenes at a fixed amount of time. V-Ray is a plug-in mostly utilized by 3D computer graphics software applications mainly for industrial design, product design, architecture, film, and video game production. V-Ray is not limited to 64-threads as it supports multi and mega-threading.
