Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB 16GB (8GBX2) DDR4 4000Mhz Desktop Ram
Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB 16GB (8GBX2) DDR4 4000Mhz Desktop Ram Review
Today we are going to check out one of Thermaltake’s latest DDR4 memory kits. We have here the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR4 to review. The kit that Thermaltake sent to us is a 16GB (8GB x2) DDR4-4000MHz memory kit. As its name suggests, the TOUGHRAM XG RGB features 16 LEDs “for a dynamic lighting experience and vivid RGB colors”. I’m not sure why it’s called “TOUGHRAM” but Thermaltake is aiming this memory kit towards gamers and enthusiasts; and of course, for those who like some bling in their gaming machine. If you’re in the market for an RGB DDR4 memory kit, please continue reading our Thermaltake Toughram XG RGB DDR4 review below.
The TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR4 memory kit is one of Thermaltake’s latest or newer DDR4 memory that is “built for high performance”. According to the company, it features “tightly-screened” ICs and it has a unique “X-shape” light bar design. Well, it is only at the middle portion of the memory stick where you will see that X-shape.
Aside from the tightly-screened ICs, Thermaltake is also using a “specially optimized” 10-layer PCB with a 2oz copper inner layer that provides enhanced electrical conduction. It also features 10μ gold fingers for enhanced durability and high wear resistance.
There’s also a substantial amount of aluminum heat spreader to dissipate the heat. Due to the design of the heat spreader, I find it difficult or I have no idea how to remove the heat spreader without destroying the memory kit or ruining its aesthetics.
The TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR4 memory has 16 “high-lumen” addressable LEDs and there are 8 lighting zones that you can control and configure. I don’t think the LEDs here are as bright and vivid as Corsair’s Capellix RGB LEDs found on the Dominator Platinum RGB DDR4, but they are bright enough and are diffused evenly.
Currently, the Toughram XG RGB DDR4 is available in a 16GB (8GBx2) memory kit and speeds from 3600MHz up to 4600MHz. You can check out the rest of its specifications below. After that, let’s take a closer look and see how it performs.
