INTRODUCTION

   Capacity versus speed (frequency) has always been the number 1 conflict for most people when out to get a brand new RAM kit but lately another factor has been added by gamers, CAS latency. CAS latency has always been a thing really but it was always after capacity and frequency but since some game titles seem to do better with reduced timings (even though that also means reduced frequencies) some people have begun to put it before everything else. Still, I’ve always been of the belief that it's better to have more RAM (capacity) and never need it than need it and not have it so even though it seems (haven't tested this myself however) that RAM CAS latency matters quite a bit in some games that doesn't really change anything for me. Team Group released their T-CREATE Expert line of products late last year and so finally i was able to get my hands on their 64GB DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Dual-Channel Kit.

   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).

   Team Group aims their T-CREATE Expert line of products towards professionals and that's probably why currently this DDR4 line only includes 16/32/64GB dual-channel kits at just 3200/3600MHZ frequencies, timings as low as CL14 (3200/3600MHz CL14 - 3200MHz CL16 - 3200/3600MHz CL18) and voltages up to 1.45V (3200/3600MHz 1.35V – 3600MHz CL14 1.45V). Of course, since these kits have professionals as their target audience Team Group has equipped them with 10-layer boards (PCB) that feature improved anti-interference/noise shielding and high-temperature resistant capacitors. As for what chips Team Group uses for their T-CREATE Expert line well past the gunmetal grey aluminum heatspreaders our sample features Micron 16GB single die (B-Die) dual-rank ones (always according to Thaiphoon Burner - other models may use different brand chips). As expected Team Group covers the entire T-CREATE Expert line of DDR4 memory kits with a limited lifetime warranty.
