Initial Setup

The sleek white finish of the white edition Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB is quite appealing and will be a nice addition to any white themed build. While not a perfect fit with my ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7, it still contrasts nicely against the backplate of my EVGA 2080 FTW graphics card.

The large RGB LED diffuser gives the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB a soft look without sacrificing any brightness. The individual RGB LEDs are visible through the diffusion, but overall, the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB sticks look excellent. The Thermaltake logo built into the design is very cleverly done; obvious and subtle at the same time.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Hynix A-die 2 GB chips. It also shows an 8-layer PCB despite markings and Thermaltake marketing indicating a 10-layer PCB. I am inclined to believe Thaiphoon is in error here.
