I found this kit to be very interesting just because on paper it looks slow but that's because it's geared towards extra stability. To further emphasis this, it does not use the popular X.M.P/D.O.C.P profiles for frequency and timings. Instead, it implements the full JEDEC memory standard, which the motherboard automatically detects and applies. Thus there is no need to activate anything in the bios, just simply install the memory and enjoy.

To further explain the goal here, unlike regular computer tasks, content creators can actually utilize sizable system memory. Editing raw 4K or even 8K video, can easily require 64 GB of memory. What separates gaming focused memory from productivity memory, are the timings and rated speed. Games don’t utilize all of the system memory for extended periods of time, but that’s exactly what professionals do with workstations. Because of the critical endurance required, workstation memory have to be focused on reliability and not pure speed.

There are 3 capacity options, 2 main frequency categories and 2 latency sets which gives you 6 kits to choose from. You can have 16, 32 or even 64 GB in either 2666 or 3200 MHz @ CL19/22. Prices start from $60 all the way to $229 which is quite good considering you get 64GB.

At just 32 mm tall they are perfect for any type of build, since they reduce the risk of any height interferences, like the CPU heatsink. The T-Create 10L DDR4 kit uses stamped aluminum for the heatsink which has a modest fin yet angular design that gives the heatsink more surface area for cooling and why not a unique style.

No further need to emphasise that this memory is not intended for overclocking nor to be a speedy gamer kit. That said, we were able to squeeze out a respectable low-voltage overclocked profile, which produced an excellent performance boost over the rated JEDEC profile for 3600 MHz CL18-22-22-42 @ 1.35v.

This is a great memory kit but it all depends on how you look at it. If you are a beginner in building your computer for the first time, this is the perfect solution, because of its plug and play nature. Team Group specifically made it like this to ensure bulletproof stability over raw speed. The fact that you can still overclock it to a similar kit that comes from factory with the XMP/DOCP profiles, is a great bonus because that’s the appeal of OC’ing – free performance. Its main purpose however, as they market it, is for content creators that require a a lot of capacity headroom and for its current price, it does just that. This 32 GB kit will be enough for 4K editing and if by any chance your workflow revolves around 8K, they have the 64GB variant as well. Combined with a low profile neutral colour heatsink, this can tick a lot of boxes even for small form factor builds. All in all, I don’t see why you can’t have this kit for all computer users, not just content creators and workstation professionals.
