TeamGroup T-Force Xtreem DDR4-4133 16GB Special Edition Memory Kit Review

The Test Rig

For our tests, we used our Lian-Li Test Rig which consists of an Asus Maximus XI Hero (Z270) motherboard, along with and Intel Core i5 – 7600K (Kaby Lake) and an Inno3D GTX 1070 (8GB GDDR5) graphics card. 

* ALL tests are conducted at specified default speeds and settings.

Note: 

I tried to run the these modules at the specified rate of DDR4-4133 at 1.4v using the XMP options on the Asus Maximus IX Hero motherboard. Unfortunately, it failed to boot at DDR4-4133. It appears that this motherboard is not very compatible with these modules (or should I say the memory wasn’t compatible with the motherboard). I did update the BIOS on the motherboard, same thing – no post. So I manually set the speed to DDR4-4000, 3666 and 3466 … all failed to boot. Only at DDR4-3333 did the system come to life.  May I add … This NOT a fault of the memory modules, but rather a motherboard compatibility issue.

Update:

See the updated benchmarks using the Asus Maximus IX Apex motherboard. This motherboard was fully compatible with the TeamGroup T-Force Xtreem DDR4-4133 modules, with XMP enabled. Click HERE.
