T-Force Delta RGB


TEAMGROUP £480

Engage maximum frequencies


The Teamgroup Delta
RGB DDR5-6400 kit is
one of the fastest
memory kits on the market. it’s
the kind of kit that is overkill for
most users, but if you’re
fortunate to be rocking a
high-end overclocked system,
then you owe it to yourself to
grab a set of high speed RAM to
get the most out of it.
The Team kit we tested
featured SK Hynix ICs and it had
some surprising overclocking
headroom. If you’re a bit
adventurous with your voltages,
this is a kit that can push towards
7,000MHz, even. We were able to
hit DDR5-6667 with 36-38-38

timings, making this DDR5 well
and truly a step ahead of DDR4.
The kit is available in either
black or white. Its diffused RGB
lighting looks great and we’re
pleased to say that its price is well
under what it was originally listed
for. It’s still a pricey proposition,
and definitely not for everyone,
but if you’re one of those who is
considering something like an
RTX 3090 Ti, then a kit like the
Team Delta RGB DDR5-6400 is
a no brainer.

SPECS SPEED: 6400MHZ / TIMING: 40-40-40-84 / CAS LATENCY: 40 / VOLTAGE: 1.35V / DIMMS: 2X 16GB

Fury Beast


KINGSTON £220


A tame beast


Kingston’s Fury Beast
kit eschews flashy RGB
lighting and huge heat
sinks in favour of a design that’s
subtle and discrete. Not quite the
beast we were expecting, but if
your PC is sitting under a desk, do
you really need a lot of bling?
The Fury Beast DDR5
memory modules have a black
PCB with a low height aluminium
heat spreader. That’s handy if
you’re installing these in a
compact PC case with limited
room. It comes with SK Hynix ICs
which means there should be
some OC headroom on tap,
however, our sample wasn’t all
that capable, with a stable


6,400MHz being a struggle when
we were testing it. That’s likely
just our particular sample though.
The real strength of the
Kingston Fury Beast kit is its
value for money. At the time of
writing it is one of the cheapest
2x16GB 6,000MHz kits on the
market, and that’s likely still true
by the time this mag hits the
shelves. If you care about
performance and less about
bling, this is a DDR5 kit that’s
well worth a look.
