TEAMGroup @ Computex 2024

Computex 2024:

TeamGroup is well known for high-performance memory products, and while we’ve often seen some fantastic designs from them over the many years, it was their new bright pink DDR5 memory that really grabbed our attention today. For so long, brands have been stuck in a world of black and white, then thrown some RGB on the top and called it a day. However, there’s a growing trend for this old-school thing called “colour” and it’s great to see more colours hitting the market again.

As part of their Xtreem series, the new Diamond Rose T-Force XTREEM (PK) DDR5 Desktop Memory not only looks fantastic, but also delivers speeds of 6400 MT/s to 7600 MT/s, in kits of 16GB up to 96GB, so there should be a little something for everyone here.

Of course, if pink isn’t your thing, there are the modern classic options too, with this stunning Fuji White edition, which contrasts well with the black and chrome of the logo on the right.

And of course, there’s also the Narvik Black Edition, and while I love the pink version, I would love to know which version of this memory you like the most?

Moving on to storage, TeamGroup has an impressive display of the latest Gen5 SSDs, ranging in capacities of up to 8TB and all delivering some impressive next-gen speeds, or at least, it’s fairer to call it current gen at this point.

At the top of the range, there’s the M.2 Gen5 GE Pro, which can deliver flagship read and write performance of around 14,000 MB/s.

Below that, you have the 12,000 MB/s version.

And a little below that, the 10,000 MB/s version. Of course, the faster ones will be a little more expensive, and likely require a little more cooling performance, but that’s to be expected.

When it comes to cooling these drives, TeamGroup is able to do everything in-house, as they have an impressive range of extremely powerful M.2 cooling solutions.

This smaller one on the left is really clever, as while it’s a big cooler and small fan combo, which is quite common, it’s also magnetic.

This means you can snap fans onto it tool-free, but also magnetically snap additional heatsinks one on top of the other.

How high dare you stack these I wonder? Albeit I think two is more than enough for any Gen5 drive these days.

This one is even more impressive, as it features their Waterflow design. It’s a fully all-in-one liquid cooling solution, with radiator, cooling fan and massive heat pipes that can be applied to the top of any M.2. Well, that’s assuming you have space for such a big cooler.

The Dark AirFlow 05 is a bit more modest, looking more like a traditional CPU air cooler, and great for high-performance without taking up huge amounts of space.

And similar with the 03, which should be more than enough cooling for Gen4 and lower-end Gen5 drives.

The Dark Airflow is more compact again, but since it has an active fan, it can shift heat faster, and is perfect for systems where the M.2 isn’t getting enough airflow from other cooling components.

While the 04 is passive, but again, favours a larger heatsink, but will otherwise still require airflow from elsewhere in your system to perform at its best.

Portable SSDs are fantastic, but they’re getting smaller and more expensive. With built-in tagging, you can use the app to help find if you left it in your backpack, down the back of the couch, or anywhere really!

Memory cards are vital in our daily lives, we use them in our production cameras, and ensuring the data is in good hands is vital. With these new drives, they’ll have S.M.A.R.T. technology on MicroSD for the first time, allowing you to log into your app and track drive health! This is fantastic to see, and I bet we’ll see more drives doing the same in the near future.

Memory cooling is next, and while a lot of users don’t need this, when it comes to extreme systems and overclocking, cooling your RAM can massively improve system stability.

With a mount that allows horizontal movement and angle adjustment to improve cooling performance, you should be able to push those memory clocks a bit higher and ensure stability.

Plus, it looks pretty neat too, with a design that reminds me of a tiny graphics card!

Finally, we have their latest range of AIO coolers, which come in all the usual shapes and sizes, and tick all the modern options for ARGB fans, ARGB pumps, and even an LCD display option, which are all the rage right now.
