We’ve wrapped up our testing of the Teamgroup T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition, and it’s time to bring you the full breakdown. Unveiled at Computex 2024, this memory kit offers a high clock speed of 7,200MT/s, and a cooling solution features a heavy aluminum heat-spreader that can reduce temp of up to 10%.
Our sample is the T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition, a 32GB kit (2x16GB) clocked at 7200MT/s with tight CL34-44-44-88 timings. With DDR5 technology pushing DRAM speeds far beyond DDR4’s 4,000MT/s cap to today’s remarkable 8,800MT/s, this kit positions itself as a strong contender for high-end users. It’s programmed with two Intel XMP overclock profiles, one is 6,000MT/s and the other one is the 7,200MT/s.
T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s 32GB (2 x 16GB) is priced at $140 (PHP 7,975.80 in Philippine currency), it has 3 color variant, Diamond Rose (Pink), Narvik Black (Black) and Snow White (White).
A side note on this review: Starting today, we will be using the term MT/s (Megatransfers per second) instead of MHz (Megahertz) when discussing memory speed. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, MT/s more accurately represents how DDR (Double Data Rate) memory functions. DDR transfers data twice per clock cycle, so while the kit was advertised at 7,200MHz, it technically runs at 3,600MHz per module, but with double the data transfers, it effectively achieves 7,200MT/s or a total of 7,200MHz. This is why you’ll now see MT/s labeled by the manufacturer instead of MHz, as MT/s provides a clearer representation of the actual data transfer rate.
With that, let’s dive straight into the performance and see what sets this memory kit apart.
Packaging and Unboxing
Just like other T-Force DDR5 kits, the T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition arrives in Teamgroup’s signature red and black color scheme, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with the brand. The bold packaging puts the module front and center, with the vibrant pink color standing out against the dark backdrop. Essential details such as memory size and speed are clearly displayed on the front.
Flipping to the back, you’ll find additional information in multiple languages, with the memory timings subtly listed on a small sticker in the bottom-right corner. There’s also a fine print at the bottom noting the kit’s lifetime warranty.
Design and Build: The Diamond Rose Appeal
The T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition comes with a bold color of pink and rugged construction. The 2mm-thick aluminum heat spreader is equipped with alloy fin heat sinks that promised up to 10% heat reduction. The sandblasted texture gives the module a matte, slightly rough finish that adds to its durability while maintaining a refined look. The dimension is 48.8mm x 134.5mm x 8.2mm (Height x Length x Width).
On the front, the XTREEM logo is prominently displayed at the top, paired with the Diamond Rose DDR5 branding, both printed against the vibrant pink background. You’ll also notice the phrase “FROM T-Force Lab,” giving it a more specialized feel. The black and silver T-Force badge on the right also adds premium aesthetic.
The back of the module takes a simpler approach, featuring its heatsink fins alongside a clean pattern of four stripped lines. Here, you’ll also find the crucial sticker that lists the memory’s timings and key specifications, keeping the design both functional and aesthetically balanced.
Features
Beneath the stylish exterior, the T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition packs serious performance features. Each module is equipped with high-quality SK Hynix ICs, known for their superior overclocking potential and efficiency. It has two XMP Profile timings of CL34-44-44-88 running at 7200MT/s and CL38-38-38-78 running at 6000MT/s.
Below are the rest of the timings:

| tRC | 136 | 136 | 126 | 116 |
| Voltage | 1.10 V | 1.10 V | 1.400 V | 1.250 V |
The memory is also equipped with an advanced Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for improved power regulation and On-Die ECC for a more stable system.
Additionally, the T-Force XTREEM DDR5 1-click overclock profile is programmed for Intel XMP.
Compatibility
Prior in our testing, the kit works well on an AMD build, though not quite to its full potential since this kit is specifically for Intel XMP. We also ran into an issue when testing with a 13th-gen Intel processor, specifically the Core i5-13400, where the processor’s IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) seemed to limit the memory from reaching speeds above 7,000MT/s, though this issue is not with this kit itself is more for other DRAM kit as well. However, after switching to a 14th-gen Intel Core i5-14400 do not have a problem.

Conclusion
The T-Force XTREEM DDR5-7200MT/s Diamond Rose Edition stands out as an entry-level option for those looking to future-proof their system with high-performance DDR5 memory. Offering a balance of premium aesthetics, excellent performance, and affordability, this 32GB (2x16GB) kit, priced at $140, provides an accessible gateway into the next generation of memory speeds. With 7200MT/s in XMP mode, it ensures a solid boost for both gaming and productivity, making it an ideal choice for users ready to embrace advanced DDR5 technology without breaking the bank.
In our testing, the kit performed exceptionally well when utilizing the 7200MT/s XMP profile. Benchmarks across tests like 3DMark, PCMark 10, and gaming titles such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Shadow of the Tomb Raider showed noticeable improvements in average FPS, responsiveness, and system stability compared to the default 5600MT/s setting. The higher clock speed gives this kit a clear advantage, as it outperformed other DDR5 kits in the market, which is expected given its 7200MT/s speed. This boost is particularly beneficial for demanding games and tasks, providing a smoother, more responsive experience.
However, we did encounter some compatibility issues when testing with 13th-gen Intel processors, particularly due to the processor’s IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) limiting the kit’s ability to achieve its full potential at higher clock speeds. This is a common challenge with higher-clocked DDR5 kits, but switching to a 14th-gen Intel processor resolved the issue, allowing the kit to run smoothly at 7200MT/s. While this kit is compatible with AMD builds, it performs best when paired with Intel systems that fully support XMP profiles.
Overall, if you’re looking for a fast, eye-catching memory kit that excels in both productivity and gaming, and you’re running a compatible system, the T-Force XTREEM DDR5 Diamond Rose Edition is an excellent choice. With its competitive price, robust performance, and the ability to outperform lower-clocked memory kits, it’s a strong option for both gamers and power users alike. Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty.
