TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 32GB 7600MHz Review
Peter Donnell / 1 year ago
TEAMGROUP is the creator of many of the best-performing memory kits available today, so I’m very happy to see their new T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 memory kit on our test bench today. We actually use TEAMGROUP on both our primary test benches, so we already know that we’re happy with their products. However, today it’s all about this high-performance DDR5 kit which comes with 32GB (2x16GB), running at an impressive 7600 MHz and with CAS 36-46-46-84 timings, which should deliver some pretty impressive performance.
TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5
It’s also got some unique aesthetics, given it was modelled after a stealth aircraft, the T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 looks pretty bonkers. Albeit, I don’t think the stealth aircraft they based the design on had 120° ultra-wide lighting for some RGB thrills. However, it does support the latest Intel XMP3.0 standard, allowing for plug-and-play 7600 MHz performance and one-click overclocking technology. It also comes with a reinforced PMIC cooling design, and on-die ECC for more stable performance and overclocking. Finally, there’s also broad support for a wide range of RGB control technologies; ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASROCK-Polychrome Sync, and BIOSTAR Advanced VIVID LED DJ.

Packaging & Accessories
The box looks great, with a clear photo of both the black and the white variant of this memory, however, it’s the black version we have in for review today. There’s a sticker in the corner, showing us we have the 32GB 7600MHz version too,
Around the back, it’s all just terms for international sales, and company information, nothing too interesting, but we can see a pair of small windows to check the serial numbers on each DIMM.
A Closer Look
If you like your memory to look sleek and classy, this isn’t it, as the T-Force Delta feature a very outrageous and bold design. They said it’s designed after a stealth fighter jet, and if I squint and think really has, I think I can see the relative shape of the back of to Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit.
However, with no huge strip of RGB on the back of it, the bomber looks significantly less “gamer”…
The memory looks great even with its RGB off, as the bulk of the memory heatsink is this fantastic two-tone black-and-white design.
There are some cool lines etched into the back, which I think looks like it’s wearing a bowtie, but I suspect that wasn’t TEAMGROUP’s intention.
The modules are quite large though, with a raised spine and thick light bar giving them increased surface area for both cooling and for more RGB to be shown off.
They are a little taller, so they may conflict with some poorly designed CPU air coolers, but largely, they should be compatible with most system builds so long as you plan accordingly.
Obviously, memory is rarely heavy, but they do have some nice and large aluminium heatsinks on them and actually, it’s often the case that heavier is better for memory, as the mass of the heatsink can deal with more heat.
They’re quite thick too, albeit much of that is the slightly thicker spines, which gives you increased surface area to flex the RGB lighting.
There’s a little cut-away on the heatsink too, so this lettering on the side is illuminated, I think that’s meant to be the letter R, but honestly, I’m not 100% sure.
The tear-down is simple enough, and there’s a really good layer of contact material for all memory DIMMS, but also a larger one for the voltage management system located in the middle. TEAMGROUP has used the latest SKhynix H5CG48AGDB memory modules, which we know to be great, as we’ve seen them used in plenty of other kits at this point, but these are obviously cherry-picked to reach the higher clock speeds too.
RGB
When it comes to RGB, obviously they do not disappoint, with lots of vibrant colours and a nice array of LEDs to give the colours some smooth transitions and effects. I’m not saying you have to have it as a rainbow disco, but it’s clearly capable. Obviously, pictures speak a thousand words, so enjoy this collection of examples!
You can use your compatible motherboard RGB control software to set individual colours and effects to suit your taste too.
How We Test
Here at eTeknix, we endeavour to disclose vital information regarding the benchmarking process so that readers can quantify the results and attempt to replicate them using their hardware. When it comes to our benchmarks in our reviews, the benchmarks are pretty self-explanatory although there are a few exceptions. Remember that your choice of graphics card, CPU, the silicon lottery, and other factors can yield different numbers, and there’s always a margin for error when using any software. Therefore, your experience may vary.
Testing Your Own System
Links are provided below, as well as the settings we use. We encourage you to not just look at how one product compares to any other, but how it compares to your own. If you’re looking to build a new system, you should benchmark your current PC using our benchmarks and settings where possible. You should then look at the percentage improvement from your current hardware to the hardware we tested to give you a ballpark figure of how much an upgrade this will provide you with.

Methodology
In our RAM reviews, we keep things relatively simple. We put the RAM kit that is being tested into our test system and benchmark it at its first XMP profile using a variety of benchmarks and tests. Once complete, we apply a reasonable overclock where possible and benchmark the same software with the overclocked values. The CPU clock speed is set to default for both runs.
AIDA64
Straight away, we’re off to a flying start, with the highest scores to date in all AIDA 64 tests, which is obviously excellent. This was further improved upon with the lowest latency we’ve seen so far too, which is epic!
Calculation Performance
Lower is better for Super Pi, and it delivered a very fast time of just 291 seconds, our second fastest yet!
The score is somewhere in the mid-range for WPrime, but overall, very competitive with other memory kits.
Rendering Performance
It lagged behind a little in R24, but overall it’s a small margin from one kit to the other here, and well within the targets we expected for our chosen CPU.
Again, a very good score here, but still largely on par with what we’ve seen from other high-end kits.
Again, another great result, but not far off from other rival kits in this test.
FutureMark Performance
For some reason, it was a little behind in FireStrike, not enough to be of concern, but a little higher always look better, of course.
A bit better in TimeSpy, again, largely on par with what we’ve seen from other brands. I bet if I retested these all again next week, they’d all change place.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Become Eivor, a Viking raider raised to be a fearless warrior, and lead your clan from icy desolation in Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England. Find your settlement and conquer this hostile land by any means to earn a place in Valhalla.
Available now on Steam.
Gaming performance should be good here, with strong speeds and low latency, and as you can see, it’s right in line with the competition, with over 140 FPS in Valhalla.
Cyberpunk 2077

Red Dead Redemption 2
Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are outlaws on the run. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.
Available now on Steam.
And again, the other extreme, lower down, but still well within a good target for other kits.
Watch Dogs: Legion

Available now on UPlay.
Yet, for Legion, it was the complete opposite, scoring the best… that should play hell with our averages.
Overall Average FPS
Overall though, there was significantly more success here and only a couple of titles that lagged a little, but largely, this is a great memory for those 1% lows.
Temperatures
Overall, the temperatures are pretty good here, considering they run at such a high clock speed, they’re not really much warmer than most other kits, so those heatsinks are doing a great job.
How Much Does It Cost?
The TEAMGROUP Delta RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-60800C36 7600MHz Dual Channel Kit – Black (FF3D532G7600HC36DDC01) is available now from OCUK for £239.99, which is a lot of money, I know, but keep in mind this is a high-speed, low-latency, DDR5 memory kit with a premium design, so you’re going to pay more for it. There are lower speed and capacity variants available for those who need something more affordable, but again, if you want the faster stuff, expect to pay a premium; that’s true of any brand of memory, really.
Overview
One thing that really stands out about this memory is the design. I should point out, that it’s a little bit outlandish for my taste, as I tend to build myself more understated and less-RGB-focused builds these days. However, the market for something that looks more “gamer” is obviously massive, and if I were to build a cool-looking gaming PC for someone, this would certainly be a prime choice for me to do that.
I like the stealth bomber with RGB stuck on it mentality here, it’s a very wild design and it certainly does grab your attention. If you’re not a fan of RGB, it’s obviously not going to appeal, but for those who love the extra lighting effects, they really nail that aspect, and are very bright and vibrant, so will look great if you have a case that shows off your build in all its glory.
It’s not all just flashy lights though, as those larger heatsinks are designed to help maintain the performance of the memory too. The higher your memory clock speeds, the more heat they’re going to generate, and keeping temperatures in check is vital for your system’s stability. Again, no issues in that regard, and their performance was superb throughout all of our testing.
The overall build quality is very good too, with the aluminium heatspreaders, and the SKHynix memory working great together. Obviously, with DDR5 having the voltage management on board, that looks like it’s well taken care of too, with additional thick thermal pads for the ICs and controller to ensure optimal performance. TEAMGROUP provides a lifetime warranty with this memory too, which certainly adds peace of mind.
With the fastest read, write and copy speeds we’ve seen yet, and the lowest latency, this memory kit is very capable. What makes it most appealing is how it generally had some of the best 1% lows while gaming, resulting in a noticeably smoother gaming experience.
Normally, we would push even further with a page dedicated to overclocking. However, this memory most certainly is overclocked right out of the box, and we couldn’t exceed the XMP profile. 7600 MHZ is freaking fast already, and this is one of the fastest kits on the market today, even at stock settings.
Should I Buy One?
If you’re looking for high-performance DDR5 memory, you’re pretty spoilt for choice these days. However, the TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 32GB 7600MHz from TEAMGROUP delivers big on performance and some very unique and vibrant aesthetics and RGB that are backed up with high clock speeds and excellent cooling, making them more than ideal for those building a high-performance gaming PC.
