Team Group released only one memory kit from the Dark Z FPS series. So far it's a 2x8GB DDR4-4000 CL16-18-18 1.45V kit which already looks pretty good. As expected, it's using Samsung B IC. There are no LEDs or any other flashy things. The heatsinks are quite standard but have a specific design. You may like it or not but the most important is how the memory works.
Some manufacturer's info:
Module Type 288 Pin Unbuffered DIMM Non ECC
Frequency 4000
Latency CL16-18-18-38
Capacity 8GBx2
Data Transfer Bandwidth 32,000MB/s (PC4 32000)
Voltage 1.45V
Dimensions 43.5(H) x 141(L) x 8.3(W)mm
Heat Spreader Aluminum heat spreader
Warranty Lifetime warranty
The Dark Z FPS memory has one XMP profile, programmed to work at DDR4-4000 CL16-18-18 1.45V. It actually works fine on AMD and Intel motherboards but because of memory controller behavior, it seems better for Intel chipsets. I will perform tests on both platforms and mix some results so please read the description or simply check what platform is on the screenshot.
The memory uses Samsung B-die IC which is so popular that I guess I don't have to add more. What's important is that the Dark Z FPS uses higher binned IC so also overclocking results are expected to be better.
Below is how the Thaiphoon Burner software sees the RAM.
