Conclusion
The well-built set is different insofar as it uses a sloping heatpreader design and T-Force logo clasping mechanism....Team Group jumps on the RGB RAM bandwagon with the release of T-Force XCalibur RGB memory available in either 3,600MHz or 4,000MHz speeds.
The well-built set is different insofar as it uses a sloping heatpreader design and T-Force logo clasping mechanism to hold the wide, bright and even RGB lighting underneath.
Succeeding in its primary task of having high-quality RGB, Team Group XCalibur's super-loose timings make it no better than basic DDR4-2,667MHz memory in certain scenarios, particularly gaming.
The bottom line is that Team Group has a viable entry into the premium RGB RAM space with its 16GB pack priced the right side of £200. Do be aware that speed isn't everything, however.
