While it is true that DDR5 memory is already on the market, its predecessor still has a lot to say. This is why for today’s review we bring you the T-Force Xtreem ARGB White. High-performance memory with a sleek white heatsink and built-in ARGB lights.
Packaging and accessories
The T-Force Xtreem ARGB White come in a colorful cardboard box that is decorated with a close-up of one of the memories. On the back there is some information about its characteristics but to know which kit we have in hand you have to look at the stickers. Inside it are the memories protected by a blister made of plastic, some documentation, a chamois leather and a T-Force emblem.

Design and build
First of all, in the T-Force Xtreem ARGB the memory chips are mounted on a 10-layer black PCB. However depending on the capacity it is possible that they have memories on both sides or only on one of them.
The first and possibly what most attracts the attention of these memories is its precious aluminum disipator in white. This heatsink covers all memories and has a different design for both sides. In one of them is the T-Force logo, as well as an interesting strip with mirror effect that has the name of the memories engraved. While on the other there is only a small sticker with the exact model of the memories and some specifications.
However, things change when we turn on the PC and bring up the ARGB lighting who have these memories. And, as part of the heatsink is created with translucent plastic, the light is projected over the entire surface of the memories to create a very interesting and striking effect.
To end this section, the last thing you should know about the T-Force Xtreem ARGB is that because of that elegant heatsink they have a 48.7mm height. Because of this, these memories may not be compatible with some air coolers. However, if you use liquid refrigeration this will not be a problem for you.

Overclock
Maybe I’m wrong but I think anyone could think that memories with such speed and latencies are good to do. overclock. However after a good number of tests and reboots I have not managed to get any really interesting results. The fact is that I don’t know where the problem is: maybe it’s my platform, the motherboard’s BIOS or the chips themselves that don’t give more of themselves.
Be that as it may, it has been impossible for me to go above 4400MHz but the good thing is that I have managed to do so while maintaining the latencies of the XMP profile. You may wonder what I did to perform such an incredible feat, but in reality I just had to raise the voltage a little to 1.55v. However, I am sure that on a more mature platform they would achieve better results.
Verdict and alternatives
Throughout this review We have seen that the T-Force Xtreem ARGB White are memories with an elegant white heatsink that integrates ARGB lights. There is no doubt that their appearance is impressive but it is that in addition to being beautiful they have an excellent performance.
However, when it comes to overclocking the kit that I have analyzed, I have achieved quite bittersweet results. Now, there is also no doubt that the best thing about these memories is their excellent quality / price ratio.
Finally, unfortunately I have not been able to find out the price in stores for this particular kit. However, in the header there are links to some stores that have these memories that can serve as a reference.
