Speaking of heat, TeamGroup didn’t change the signature symmetrical heatsink of this memory family, why do that? It has shown with previous generations of memory that it is excellent at dissipating heat, keeping the chips always at a good temperature. They have an RGB LED light bar on top that we can configure with motherboard software, giving the system an extra pop of color.
Unboxing and external analysis
At this point we have already analyzed a good handful of RAM memories from this manufacturer, so their packaging is not foreign to us, which is the same as that used in previous versions of these Delta RGB. Thus, we have a black flexible cardboard packaging on the front of which we can see an image of the memories, one with the heat sink in black and the other in white, which are the two versions available. A label in the upper right indicates that it is a 32 GB (2×16 GB) kit at 7200 MHz.
On the back we have, in several languages, a description of the product. There are also “windows” that allow us to see the labels of the memory modules, while at the bottom we have the logos of the RGB software with which they are compatible, as well as a QR that will take us to the page of the product on the manufacturer’s website.
Inside, there is a small informative leaflet on the lifetime warranty that these memories carry, as well as a T-Force reflective sticker.
Of course, we also have the memories perfectly protected in a transparent plastic blister in which they are embedded. Apart from that transparent plastic, here we can see the memories, which are exactly the same in terms of aesthetics as the other Delta RGB models that we have analyzed previously.
On the outside we find a black aluminum heatsink in which the brand details stand out, such as the T-Force logo, DDR5 RGB and the Delta family.
One of the most striking details is on one of the sides, since this perforation will light up when the memories are turned on.
On the side that will be covered once they are installed on the motherboard, we don’t have all these details, just the usual identification label on each module.
In the upper part we find the usual translucent tube under which the RGB LED diodes are located. On one side we have another detail of the brand, where it still says T-FORCE.
Given the memories, which as we said aesthetically are identical to other Delta RGB models we have analyzed in the past, the time has come to connect them to our test bench and put them into service to see how they they behave.
This is how the TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-7200 works
To test the performance of these RAM memories, we used our usual Intel Alder Lake-S test bench. You’ll see that we used a Z690 motherboard and not a Z790 for testing, and as of now we can confirm that we had absolutely no problems getting them to work, just plug them in, turn on the system and configure the XMP profile in the BIOS. The memories ran at 7200 MHz from the first minute without any type of error or problem.
- Intel Core i9-12900K.
- ASUS ROG MAX Z690 HERO.
- Be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX.
- CORSAIRE RM1000i.
- TeamGroup Cardea A440 Pro 2TB.
- GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.
As usual, for all tests we used Windows 11 Pro 64-bit as the operating system, with all updates installed.
Let’s start by looking at a screenshot of CPU-Z, which will show us the working processor, motherboard and memories.
As we said, we were able to activate the XMP profile at 7200 MHz without any problems, and CPU-Z shows us the memories operating at this frequency. Given that, let’s start seeing his performance, and as always, we start with Aida64.
These are the first RAM memories that pass through our laboratory that exceed 1 GB/s, although in this case it is only in reading speed. Additionally, we were surprised to see relatively low latency despite these memories having higher than usual latencies. We are going to compare it with other DDR5 RAMs that have passed through our hands in the same test bench.
As you can see, this is the most efficient DDR5 RAM of all that has passed through our hands, which is normal since, to put things into perspective, they operate at 2000 MHz more than the first DDR5 that we had that ran at 5200 MHz.
We move on to the next test. Super Pi, which will force the processor to calculate the decimals of the number Pi (which, as you know, are infinite) in a task that is very demanding on RAM memory, since the results of the processor’s calculations are stored there. This was the result.
And below is a comparison with the other RAMs we’ve had.
By little (barely 3 seconds), but these RAM memories were slower than their sisters at 6,400 Mhz. How is this possible if they operate at over 800 MHz? Very simple, because in SuperPi the latencies have a lot of influence, more than the raw speed, since the speed of communication between the processor and the RAM comes into play, and the latencies of this model at 7200 MHz are higher than those of the We analyzed some time ago, at 6400 MHz.
Let’s see if the same thing happens with wPrime, another benchmark for RAM that also calculates decimals for the Pi, but using different algorithms. In this case, we will also use both the 32 million decimal place test and the 1024 million decimal place test, still using 4 processing threads in parallel.
Of course, you also have here the comparison with the other reports.
We end up with a similar case, although more pronounced: the high latencies of this RAM memory penalized the time for carrying out the calculations, and the slower memories but with faster latencies obtained a better result.
Now let’s move on to a real performance test, thanks to WinRAR we will be able to see the performance of these memories when we work with file compression and decompression.
The result obtained is not only impressive, but again it is at the cutting edge of performance, and with a substantial difference compared to other models. Here, that operating frequency was quite noticeable at an impressive 7,200 MHz.
Conclusion and judgment
With the arrival of the new generation of Intel processors (the Core 13s), a wave of much faster DDR5 RAM has also arrived, and if until recently 6600 MHz was crazy, now the memories above 7000 MHz will be normal (remember that, without going any further, TeamGroup offers these Delta RGB DDR5 up to 7600 MHz).
As we are used to, TeamGroup offers us a product of the highest quality and guarantee (in fact they have a lifetime guarantee) that is at the cutting edge of technology, since once again it has been l ‘one of the first manufacturers to bring us the highest speed memory RAM available on the market. These 7200MHz T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 are proof that we have more and better performance available for PC memory.
What surprised us the most was to see that we were able to analyze them on a Z690 motherboard without any problem, with the ease that the simple activation of the XMP profile gives us so that they work at maximum speed, c It is therefore excellent news to be able to have the fastest RAM memories on the market without having to update the motherboard to the latest version available. Of course, a downside is the price, as these next-gen memories are quite expensive.
For all these reasons, we think these TeamGroup Delta RGB DDR5 7200 MHz RAMs deserve our gold medal, as well as our recommendation for their excellent performance.
