TeamGroup has just announced their newest line of Memory. 

a 64GB DDR4 kit of 4x16GB Dimms. Other sized kits are available (64GB, 32GB, 16GB)

 

The kit comes in speeds of:

DDR4 2666 CL15 16GBx4 /8GBx4 / 4GBx4

DDR4 2800 CL16 16GBx4 /8GBx4 / 4GBx4

DDR4 3000 CL16 16GBx4 /8GBx4 / 4GBx4

 

The kits come in two varients, the Dark Series and the Vulcan series. So basically a black and red colour scheme to match most builds. 

 

EDIT: The Dark series comes in Black, Blue, Silver and Red, while the Vulcan series comes in Red, Orange, Gold (That's how you do a gold colour Asus) and Blue. Maybe more colours in the future?

These Dimms are also Intel XMP 2.0 compatible

They also come with a Lifetime Warranty

 

 

Dark Series:

 

 

 

Vulcan Series:

 

 

 

My thoughts?

We are finally there, 16GB DIMMS. And they don't look that bad in my opinion, especially the Dark series (EDIT: I take that back, After viewing all the colours, i prefer the Vulcan Series). They are supposed to be reliable, but only time will tell. The only problem i can see is,

How much will it cost for a 64GB Kit?

Your Opinions?

Looks gash. But teenagers will lap it up

Team is a cool company; they're japanese and japanese have good technology. I can see Team maybe becoming more popular from this

[Tagiau]

Well seeing as the cheapest 32gb kit is over 400$, i can see a 64gb kit for 800-900$usd

 

The dark series looks to gskill for me, and the vulcan series is orange/red. I personally don't like neither. 

 

And mushkin needs to release their enhanced stealth version already(somewhat relevant)

It's a shame they look pretty ugly

16gb black PCB. I'm all for it also, didn't linus mention upcoming video with 128gb of ddr4 in the last wan show ? Could this be it ?

On the picture the high profile heat spreaders look ugly to me too. Also it looks like they don't belong,if u know what I mean.

Seems possible. X99 motherboards tend to (or all perhaps?) have 8 DIMM slots. 128GB divided by 8 is 16GB DIMM's.

 

However, I'm willing to bet he'll be using something Corsair or Crucial or maybe Kingston. Keep in mind that this is just the first 16GB DIMM. Now that this is out, you can be darn sure the other manufacturers are following.

 

I highly doubt that TeamGroup manufacturers actual memory chips, so odds are this is just an OEM rebrand of something else anyway with TeamGroup designed heat spreaders.

I'm with you on the High profile looks their not that bad but still...., I think the Vulcan series looks better

I think they might actually make the chips as they also make SSD's and USB sticks / memory cards but they could just be an OEM brand.

 

EDIT: Team Group product offerings include its original Team brand name memory modules, various memory cards and USB Disks. The company also accepts commissions from clients to design OEM brands or OEM outsourcing projects from renowned international manufacturers.

I'm 14, and I think the dark series looks like ass

Hi 14, how are you?

Finally Team makes some decent heat spreaders! I can get performance and aesthetics, all in one purchase.. This is pretty good, we're closer to what we were being told DDR4 would be (if you completely ignore the very common "it'll be a bajillion times faster" statement).

As for anyone saying these look dumb/ugly/whatever, they're a great design. I'm a big fan of G.Skill SKUs, except maybe 2 of the older spreaders they're pretty fantastic. This beats everything but Ripjaws Z, honestly. And Team is another really good brand for performance RAM. I'm happy, they've accomplished a lot in one product release..

[Techhog]

Yep, I came. Too good.

Hi 14, how are you?

Get off the forum, dad.
