If you want RGB LEDs in your memory, there is now no set that does it as well as Team Group's Delta RGB sticks. Their end-to-end RGB lighting gives far more light coverage than any other DDR4 sticks right now, and their multi-colored rainbow pattern that lights up right out of the box is one of my most favorite RGB looks yet. I so badly wanted to give these sticks a 10/10 based on looks alone. But I cannot. Performance and such plays a role too, right?

With these sticks really only made for ASUS boards that offer Aura Sync, these do have some limitations. Then we can look at the speeds offered and find another limitation. They don't exactly have the tightest timings either, but to be honest, does any of that matter with these sticks? In case you missed it, these were clearly designed just to look good, and you are going to pay a bit extra for those good looks too. Because if that's all that matters to you when it comes to memory sticks, and you want RGB and have an ASUS motherboard with Aura Sync, you really shouldn't be buying a different kit. These sticks contain the RGB love you need and want, and everything else can take a hike.

If Team Group wanted to offer higher performance, they would have. I mean, 3000 MHz as a maximum? That's pretty low when you can push 4000 MHz with a good CPU, if not higher. You could overclock these sticks if you wanted to, I suppose, but being the highest-performing sticks is clearly not what these are all about. With sets offered with either white or black heatspreaders, you can pick your set to match your motherboard's PCB perfectly. The white kit, with it's matte white finish, simply looks amazing in person. The textured feel completes everything, so these sticks just ooze luxuriousness that matches the LEDs in such a perfect way as to clearly make this Team Group's best set yet.

When it comes time to look at the benchmarks, it's the battle of the RGBs!!! Team Group has two different RGB kits right now, and one costs more than the other? is there a reason for it? It does seem so! Performance-wise, the Team Group Night Hawk RGB sticks win most benchmarks, even though the sticks are rated for the same speed and timings. There must be some sort of difference within the XMP profile that leads to this, or maybe it's simply because different memory ICs are under the hood; no matter what it is, the difference is nearly undeniable given the number of benchmarks that show a difference, even if marginal at best. But hey, the price difference is just a few bucks, so why not? It almost makes too much sense...

I so wish I could just enable XMP and get a bit more performance out of these at like 3600 MHz or so. I'll refrain from complaining about the software side of things, which could be better, and these sticks could definitely support more motherboards by default, too, but cannot because of that tie-in with the ASUS Aura Sync software. Yet if you have one of those boards, I don't think you'll find a better-looking RGB kit, and you should simply forget about high memory speeds and buy these sticks without hesitation. These sticks are worth it.
