Team Group Ram

I saw the offer price for Team Group Ram and thought it sounded good, but the only reviews I can find aren't very complimentary, particularly with customer service and DOA issues.
How many people here are using it and is the brand any good as it seems a bit of an unknown?

Google enough and you'll find negative reviews about any company. For every bad review you find there is a good one i.e: https://community.hwbot.org/topic/197906-teamgroup-dark-ddr4-3600c14-quick-review/

In regards to customer service, keep in mind that OcUK as an official partner with TeamGroup they will handle any issues you have in the off chance your RAM is DOA or similar. This can be done with a simple webnote. Team Group is well respected.

imo we should all be thankful for Team Group and the connections Gibbo has made to offer such good quality RAM for the UK market. If you want RAM of similar quality you are forced to import from the states (good luck finding any other 3600C14 kit in the UK).

The recently released 2x16GB kits are also really good value. I actually looked and unless I missed something you can't find any high quality dual rank B-Die anywhere besides OcUK that will hit 4,000 with good timings.

Thanks! I haven't built a machine for a while so more familiar with the historic brands. Does that mean it overclocks quite well too?

For sure. In fact it has matched some of the best B-Die overclocks within safe voltages (4500C17 at 1.5v)

Thanks. I'm planning for a new build so I just want to make sure I'm not considering any poor parts but there's a few brands coming up that I've never heard of. I read somewhere that the peak ram overclock is only about 3800 anyway? So getting a decent set with 3200 base seems a good way to go I was just surprised by the price.
