Today I will make a short presentation of the latest Team Group memory kit - Xtreem ARGB. The tested memory kit was purchased in a local store just because I found it interesting and the price was quite low, around ~$120 (inc. local tax and shipping). Somehow, the price went up by 20% just after purchase so hard to say how it will look in some time or in different countries.
The memory is based on Hynix DJR so about the same as most new memory kits at DDR4-4000 or above. This IC has the potential to run at DDR4-5000+ but it's never guaranteed.
I can't show you a screenshot from Thaiphoon Burner as on my Z490 motherboards it can't find SPD settings and stops at error. Every other source is confirming the DJR IC series, including multiple motherboard manufacturer QVL. It also works at timing and voltage ranges of previously tested Hynix DJR memory kits.
Going back to the memory kit itself, it works fine at XMP settings on X570 and Z490 motherboards, but as you will see later, it is not the best option for those who like overclocking.
In my feeling is that Team Group went the easiest way giving us IC that runs easily at higher frequency (and maybe is quite cheap as it's flooding the market right now) and put nice glowing heatsinks so the product looks well but can't offer much better performance than XMP settings so DDR4-4000 CL18-22-22.
I don't have much time on tests right now and sadly, this memory is not worth spending more time on it so I will show some overclocking results which were stable during tests that took two evenings.
