INTRODUCTION

   RAM has always been one of the very first hardware components people tend to change whenever they want a reasonable boost in the performance of their PCs (and MACs). This actually holds even truer today not only due to the serious price cuts RAM underwent over the years (this however is the primary reason) but also because of the immense competition currently in the market by both old and new manufacturers. Just for the record i still recall a time when in order to get just 256MB of DDR RAM you had to spend well over $100 whereas today consumers have access to numerous 16GB DDR4 dual-channel kits for less. A few days ago, Team Group officially announced their ZEUS line of DDR4 modules and today I’ll be testing one of their dual-channel 16GB kits.

   Team Group Inc. was founded in 1997 in Taiwan. To aim at the global layout of R&D technology and manufacturing in memory products, the chairman of the board, Mr. Danny Hsia established the headquarter in 1997 in Taipei. Team Group Inc. possesses professional research and development capabilities, high quality products, rapid productivity, a tightly-knit global sales network and complete customer services. In addition to ranking among CommonWealth Magazine’s top 1000 enterprises, it has also become one of the fastest growing 3C product manufacturer and a world’s leading brand in recent years. Team Group Inc. has been publicly listed on the Emerging Stock Market since October 2010. Team Group Inc. also listed company at stock exchange market in January 2019. (Stock code: 4967).

   The ZEUS line of DDR4 RAM modules by Team Group includes single and dual 8/16/32GB kits at 2666/3000/3200MHz frequencies, timings as low as CL16 (3000/3200MHz CL16, 2666 CL19 and 3200MHz CL20) and voltages set at both 1.2V (2666/3200MHz) and 1.35V (3000/3200MHz). According to Thaiphoon burner the 3200MHz 1.2V 16GB kit which i have here with me is based on single C-die 8GB modules by SK-Hynix and is XMP certified with timings set at 20-22-22-46-68. Of course, since this is a 1.2V kit i expect it will reach very good speeds when set at 1.35V on the EVGA Z390 DARK. Last but not least Team Group covers the entire ZEUS line of DDR4 RAM modules with a rather generous lifetime warranty. So, time to see what they just released.
