We finally have the Thermaltake Toughram RGB with us. It is a high profile DDR4 RAM memory kit, with a very minimalist design and with very interesting technical characteristics. Specifically, the guys from Thermaltake sent us a kit of 16 GB at 3200 MHz.
Will it live up to expectations? We will tell you this and much more during our analysis.
And we continue, not without first thanking Thermaltake for trusting us by giving us these interesting memories for analysis.
Thermaltake Toughram RGB technical features
Unboxing
The Thermaltake Toughram RGB comes in a compact, full-color box. On its cover we find the design of the RAM memory, the capacity it incorporates, the number of modules it incorporates in and the speed it is capable of reaching. In the lower corner we can see the RGB certifications, which good FPS will give us while we play.
In the previous area we came across the main specifications and technical characteristics. Among them we detect compatibility with the XMP profile and the main motherboards on the market.
Once we open the box, we will find the two high profile RAM memory modules and a plastic blister that will cushion the main blows of the transport. We miss some warranty documentation or quick installation for the newest.
Exterior design with RGB
These Thermaltake Toughram RGB memories if they do something is attract attention for their excellent aesthetic design and finishes. Obviously, these are 288-contact DIMM modules with a heatsink made of aluminum.
As we have already commented on several occasions during the analysis, these are high profile memories, since their measurements are 0.83 cm thick, 13.3 cm long and 4.8 cm high in the area of greatest wingspan. So be very careful with the double tower and large size heatsinks such as the Noctua NH-D15 or similar, because we will have problems if we plan to occupy the 4 modules available on the motherboard.
Focusing a little more on the design of the package, we have a composition of two plates, the first made of aluminum and the second is a plexi that allows RGB lighting to pass through. Among them we have a couple of silver colored metal pieces that help give it a more exquisite design.
The Thermaltake Toughram RGB lighting system consists of 10 addressable LEDs on each module. These are compatible with virtually all lighting systems on the market starting with your own. Among them we can find the Asus AURA, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock Polychrome, and Thermaltake RGB Plus.
Benefits
Thermaltake has provided us with the kit of 2 modules of 8GB of capacity at 3200 MHz. But we have in Spain configurations with the same capacity but with frequencies of 3000, 3600, 4000, 4266 and 4400 MHz. They could have already behaved and send us one of the fastest, since it would be useful to check the performance of the AM4 platform with fast memories.
By having this intermediate frequency, the modules have a set of CL16 latencies (16-18-18-38), and a voltage of 1.35V, exactly the same as the vast majority of models.
If we are from Intel, we will not have any problem, because the Thermaltake Toughram RGB offer us Intel XMP 2.0 support at 3200 MHz from the factory. In this way we ensure compatibility with the LGA 1151 and LGA 2066 platform.
For AMD we will not have problems either, it is more, it is the platform that we have used to test this kit and get the most out of it. We can assure you that it is 100% compatible with the new Ryzen 3000, but the manufacturer does not confirm 100% compatibility with it. Remember that these memories are NON-ECC, the usual thing in this consumer / gaming sector.
RGB lighting and management
As each manufacturer belongs to their father and mother, we always recommend installing Thermaltake software to configure to our liking. If we synchronize it with external applications, we will not have any problems either, but we always advise installing them, checking that everything is fine, and then uninstalling the applications that we do not need.
In our case we have not had any problem mounting it on an ASUS X570 Formula board. Everything went great and the RGB lighting is very well combined. What do you think?
Test bench and tests
Without further ado, we continue with the corresponding performance tests of these T-Force Delta RGB. Our test bench consists of the following elements:

Processor: |
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X |
Base plate: |

There will be no bottlenecks precisely, because it is nothing less than the Asus top-of-the-range motherboard for this Intel X570 platform. In addition, we have a more than outstanding Ryzen 9 3900X and one of the best BIOS that we find in the hardware landscape.
WE RECOMMEND YOUShuttle XPC SZ270R9 Review in Spanish (Full Review)So much so that it has only been connecting memories and turning on the test bench so that the AMP profile is automatically activated with those 3200 MHz @ 1.35V in a stable and perfect way.
Speed and latency
We have carried out the performance tests with the two modules in Dual Channel with both their maximum speed and their standard speed. All of them thanks to Aida64 Engineering, so these are the results:
The results are with the memories set in BIOS at 3200MHz (1600 MHz clock). We also wanted to check what memory chips it uses, this time it is the Hynix. As many of you already know, Samsung B-Die have been discontinued and we will find ourselves in the vast majority of cases Hynix chips.
Final words and conclusion about Thermaltake Toughram RGB
RAM Thermaltake Toughram RGB has left a great taste in our mouths, both for its design and its features. It seems to us one of the best RAM memory on the market .
We have to take into account that its heatsink is high profile, so we need to check the correct compatibility with our processor heatsink. Thanks to this high performance thermal solution, they are very cool and with the RGB band of 10 LEDs it offers us an extra design.
The starting price of these memories is 99 euros for the 16 GB and 3000 MHz kit. One of the cheapest on the market and that has nothing to envy other manufacturers.
