T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 3200 MHz 16GB Review

Stock

Straight away, the Vulcan Z is right on the money. It’s certainly not the most expensive or fastest latency kit we’ve tested, nor is it the cheapest or slowest. So it’s of little surprise to see it land somewhere in the middle at stock clocks. 3200 MHz is the most common speed we test too, so it’s good to see that it is competitive. Read, Write and Copy speeds were superb at the XMP profile too, with competitive latency which delivered a WPrime time of just 3.054 seconds. The Physics score of 24805 is also right in the middle, and the PCMark10 score was very close to the more expensive Patriot Viper kit too.

Overclocked

We managed to hit a very respectable 3800 MHz on this kit with minimal fuss. It didn’t take any extra voltage to get there either. Relative to the other kits we’ve tested, there’s no overhead needed for the RGB because there isn’t any. This, combined with those lovely aluminium heatsinks, allowed for quick and easy overclocking. This saw Read, Write and Copy speed get a very healthy boost, as did the Physics and PCMark 10 score. All that extra performance basically for free.
