One of the biggest issues when choosing a component or peripheral with RGB lighting is that our motherboard is compatible. Well TEAMGROUP took note and just released the first one with full compatibility. Let’s see how your T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 memory is and what it offers us compared to other RAMs on the market.
The new DDR5 standard, despite having the same number of contacts as DDR4, requires profound changes in motherboards for all of its functions and one of them is the way in which RGB lighting is controlled in modules where it is used. is integrated. It is a function which, although it does not add anything in terms of performance, is very aesthetically appreciated and the proof of this is the number of manufacturers who have incorporated it into their products, which means that there is a demand.
And how could it be otherwise, it will reach DDR5 and we have a clear example of this in TEAMGROUP’s DDR5 T-FORCE DELTA RGB.
T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 specifications
The first thing that we observe is that the industrial design is the same as that of the DDR4 versions of this memory, but the similarities end there, since as the name suggests we are dealing with a DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz with the possibility of increasing its speed to 5600 MHz thanks to Intel XMP 3.0 support which allows one-click overclocking. It is also sold in 16 and 32 GB configurations.
Like its predecessor, it retains its striking RGB lighting, now controlled by the PMIC chip that all DDR5 modules have, so that their power no longer depends on the motherboard, but on the module itself. This common feature of the new standard has been used by TEAMGROUP to make their T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 work with any motherboard RGB system and certify that it is compatible with the following RGB systems from ASUS, GIGABYTE, BIOSTAR, ASRock and MSI.
So if you want to mount a gaming computer with a DDR5 compatible processor and have RGB lighting without having to break your horns to get it to work, then RAM is the ideal one for that, because all you will have to do will only be to download the latest driver / software from your motherboard manufacturer.
DDR5 games will be highly coveted
The new memory standard for achieving higher bandwidths sacrifices access latency, this means that high speed memories are needed to compensate for the loss of speed of said access by the CPU. Therefore, DDR5 at standard speeds does not stand out over DDR4 at this time, but rather the gaming models which generally come not only with RGB lighting, but also with built-in heat dissipation systems and a one-click overclocking, they will gain in importance.
In the case of the T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5, the people of TEAMGROUP did not give their latency, we assume that it is that of the JEDEC standard. Either way, this won’t be the last DDR5 RGB for gaming and its launch shows us that the transition period, whether fast or slow, will not have a brake.
