Our memory has SPD and XMP profiles programmed at exactly the same, DDR4-3200 22-22-22 1.20V. Since most laptops are not supporting XMP, then the SPD profile at DDR4-3200 is optimal. Even better would be if the RAM could run at tight timings, but the SPD profile doesn’t have a VDIMM option, and also, laptops don’t have it in BIOS/UEFI, so it’s limited to standard 1.20V. If you have a laptop that supports XMP, then I recommend taking a look at the Zeus DDR4-3200 CL16, which you can see in the specifications table above. This memory would run at 1.35V but also much tighter timings for additional performance.

The reviewed memory kit is based on Hynix IC, but the software can’t read it exactly, and memory chips are rebranded. Having some experience with other memory kits, which were recognized the same way, it looks like the used IC is from the MFR series. At such high capacity, it’s one of the only options on the market. Below you can see how Thaiphoon Burner sees the tested RAM.

The memory works without issues on a laptop equipped with the latest Ryzen 7 4800H processor, which of course, supports DDR4-3200. Below you can see a screenshot taken after over two hours of stability test. Many other tests were performed on the Zeus RAM, so we didn’t want to waste time on the longer AIDA64 test.

So far, so good. Now let’s take a look at the product itself.

 

Package and its Contents

The memory arrived in a retail, blister-type package. The product is well described with general specifications, key features, and contact to support.

Inside the package, we will find two 32GB memory modules rated at DDR4-3200 and 1.20V, the user’s manual, and the T-Force logo sticker.

Most users shouldn’t have problems with the installation as all we need to do install memory modules. Since the memory works with the SPD profile, then in most cases, we won’t need to do anything else. The Zeus will use a programmed profile and run at its optimal settings.

The Zeus DDR4-3200 SODIMM modules look like most laptop memory modules, except for the label with the Zeus sign and the lightning. There is no heatsink as it’s not required, and if it was too thick, it could cause problems with installation in some laptops. The PCB is black, which suggests a memory series for gamers or computer enthusiasts.

The specifications of the tested Zeus memory are close to what we could see in more standard and gaming memory series. Considering high capacity, it would be hard to make anything much better, and as you will see on the next page of this review, the performance is high, even though the main timings would suggest otherwise.

Below are additional photos with Zeus 64GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM installed in the ASUS TUF A15 laptop, which will be used for tests. Since we can’t really see the RAM during work, the design doesn’t really matter, but it’s good to see that the manufacturer designed something new. The most important is stability and performance, which we will test on the next page of this review.
