Team group's T-Force Vulcan series of SODIMMs pose as a fantastic option for enthusiast PC users that need some decent SODIMMs for their laptop or small-form-factor PC, with wide compatibility, and then some choice ICs that offer overclocking to enthusiast levels of performance, something not common in the SODIMM space. Then they add in a crazy copper and graphene cooler, something you won't really find anywhere else right this moment, except on other Team Group products. With a fairly affordable price rolled in, these exceptional SODIMMs really stand out from all the other options out there on the market today, and do so without the inclusion of RGB LEDs.
OK, maybe I'd personally like some RGB LEDs on my own SODIMMs, but clearly, there's not much use for such when they are likely to get stuffed into a laptop or some other type of small PC where they won't ever been seen, but one can wish, no?
I was really shocked to see this copper and graphene cooler design, so when these sticks first landed on my test bench, I made sure to check out the product page and found the claims of overclocking up to 3600 MHz. For a series with a highest-rated speed of 2666 MHz, that seemed... well... impressive? Team Group is practically begging you to punish these sticks, should your system be capable. With that in mind, it made very clear sense that I would toss these sticks into my ASRock X299E-ITX/AC, and begin overclocking. I wasn't disappointed to only reach 3200 MHz with two kits installed, but that is a fair bit short of the 3600 MHz claims on the product page. Perhaps I wasn't quite liberal enough with loosened timings, but with 3200 MHz reached, these sticks do reach what I'd consider an acceptable level for enthusiast-grade SODIMMs. When I pushed these sticks and increased the voltage, I was sure to check out the cooler's performance, and wouldn't you know it, but that cooler quite effectively spread out the heat across the front surface of the SODIMM without fail, but I couldn't help but wish this cooler was on both sides of these memory sticks!
With that single side getting this cooler, and not quite reaching the clocks claimed on the product page quite as easily as I would have liked, I was left feeling a little tiny bit disappointed, but then, these aren't some $250 memory sticks; they are quite affordable right now at under $200 for 16 GB, and that graphene cooler HAD to have some cost involved. I really cannot get over how impressed I am with this cooler... this GRAPHENE COOLER!!! If you need some DDR4 SODIMMs, you best get a set of these right now, before they are gone. And when you do, be sure to hit us up in the comment section and let me know how your overclocking went! It just might be better than mine!
