While it only topped a couple of benchmarks, the T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB proved to be a solid performer. Many consider CAS14 3200 MHz memory to be the best compromise of frequency and timings right now, and generally, I can agree. That said, the differences are small, and the price of entry for a kit like this is quite high. The T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB is within the same price range as other kits using the same Samsung ICs, so it comes down to aesthetics and preference in the end.

On that topic, I think the T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB is a very attractive kit, and the complexity of the heat spreader is unique. The casting isn't perfect, but the flaws are only obvious under close scrutiny. When the kit is installed, it looks very good. The light bar is bright and visible from all angles, and again, the complex heat spreader gives it a unique look. The software is a weak point since Team Group's own software is still buggy and a strong point as every major motherboard RGB software is supported. The standard lighting effects are impressive by themselves, and generally, I would recommend leaving them alone.

The T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB is offered with the heat spreader in different colors; however, as best as I can find, this CAS14 version is currently only available with the heat spreader my sample had. The CAS16 version is much more common, and I have to admit that the matte black heat spreader looks very good, at least in pictures. All of that said, the silver of this sample is neutral and very good-looking. The granularity of the casting compliments the color and adds depth to the appearance.

Overall, I would recommend the T-Force NIGHT HAWK Legend RGB if you are looking for a kit with a unique look and tightly timed Samsung ICs.
