Initial Setup

The neutral two-tone finish of the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB is elegant and will mesh well with a wide variety of builds. The Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB is a particularly good fit for my MSI MEG Z490 Godlike test system.

The TOUGHRAM XG RGB have a top-tier RGB LED implementation. The large RGB LED diffuser gives the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB a soft look without sacrificing any brightness.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Hynix CJR 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.
