Introduction

Team Group is one of those companies that I think is really shaking up the memory market right now, having released many different products with different designs on a continual basis that help keep new SKUs on store shelves by giving us something new to get excited about between regular platform launches from both AMD and Intel. I've taken a look at quite a few of their DDR4 products and have been impressed by each and every one.

This time around, we've got a Vulcan Gaming DDR4 set, a 3200 MHz kit with two 8 GB sticks and 16-18-18-38 timings. The Vulcan Gaming kits are sets that have been given specific treatments to match specific boards, with the set I have here ready for ASUS TUF motherboards. The heatspreader takes the theme of those ASUS boards and matches it top-to-bottom, giving these sticks a look that completes the visual appearance of your ASUS TUF build in a way most others simply want to.

Packaging

The Team Group T-Force Vulcan sticks come in a standardized plastic clamshell Team Group uses for several of their DIMMs. That means the packaging is a bit over-sized, but why spend money on developing a new package when they don't have to? The paper insert inside the clamshell is custom and says a bit about this memory specifically, as you can see in the picture above. You'll also note that the package is sealed with a sticker at the top as well.


I opened the package and found the DIMM's labels on the hidden side. I had almost celebrated the first kit I got without any stickers, but was wrong. You get the two DIMMs and a small instruction leaflet.
