Thermaltake ToughRAM RGB Metallic Gold DDR4-3600 review: failed the fire test

The Thermaltake ToughRAM RGB Metallic Gold DDR4-3600 kit has injected four new decorations for creative construction into the company’s high-speed memory kit. These types of high-performance kits have proliferated in the market in the past few years, mainly because each generation of AMD and Intel processors comes with improved memory support, allowing vendors to continuously push frequency limits. However, DDR4-3600 memory kits are still a very popular choice among consumers, which explains why the market is flooded with them. As you know, memory comes in various sizes and colors, so there are memory kits for everyone.

Thermaltake now offers its ToughRAM RGB Four newly decorated memory kits: racing green, racing red, turquoise and metallic gold. However, regardless of the color, the design is the same: the radiator still has a rectangular shape, with notches and metal strips that highlight the design. Our samples have a metallic golden appearance and matching metal strips.

To recap, the memory module has a height of 48.25 mm (1.9 inches) and advertises a beautiful RGB diffuser with ten addressable LEDs. You can use Thermaltake’s internal TT RGB Plus software to control the lighting of the ToughRAM RGB, or you can use the software that comes with the motherboard. Compatibility is very good, because ToughRAM RGB can be used with Razer Chroma, Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

ToughRAM RGB is a typical dual-channel 16GB DDR4 memory kit with two 8GB memory modules. The memory module adopts a single-row design, in the case of ToughRAM RGB, with a 10-layer PCB. Thermaltake really likes Hynix integrated circuits (ICs) for the ToughRAM RGB series, so it is not surprising that this DDR4-3600 memory kit uses H5AN8G8NCJR-VKC (C-die) ICs.
