Initial Setup
The silver of the T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB is quite bright. The overall effect is striking, and while there are some color accents on the kit, the majority of is in silver, which makes it pretty neutral visually, capable of matching up with other parts easily.
The light bar on these sticks is very bright, and visible from all angles. The relatively intricate framing of the heat spreader lends itself a very unique look.
Running this kit at its rated speed was as simple as enabling XMP. The T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB had no stability issues at all during my testing.
Thaiphoon shows that these are Samsung ICs, which is obvious from the tight timings. Still, it is good to confirm.
