We are writing our TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review to share information about this memory kit with you. The Vulcan α DDR5 is a memory kit and what we have for our review is the 6000MHz version.
The product supports the AMD EXPO technology, which allows the product to achieve optimised performance with outstanding compatibility. You can experience fast, stable, and reliable overclocking with one click. These offerings unleash the potential performance of the AMD AM5 platform.
But before we get into more detail, our TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review will discuss its packaging and contents.
TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Packaging
We immediately unboxed the memory kit when it arrived for this TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review. It shipped in a simple-looking black container featuring the product image, its name, and company branding at the front. The back of the package has additional information about the memory kit in six languages.
There are only a few items inside the package, and the memory kit only ships with the T-FORCE case badge and documentation.
TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review – Design and Functionality
Out of the box, we can say this memory kit is not your usual DDR5 DIMM. It sports a premium look with an aluminium matte shroud. It has an attractive design tailored for gamers since it also features an aluminium heat spreader across its memory IC.
The product is a simple memory kit on the surface. It comes in black and red, so you can choose a colour that matches your build. This memory kit, despite having a simple aesthetic, still looks excellent.
The angular hints on its aluminium frame and the company logo at the centre add to its charm.
If weight is your concern, the Vulcan α DDR5 only weighs around 32g which is not too heavy. It has a low-profile design without any aggressive RGB solutions or bulky metal frames, which makes its weight decent. Therefore, its weight and height make it an ideal kit for HTPC and small form factor computers.
It is also not taller than the usual LO-DIMM kits. Thus, making it compatible with other CPU coolers specific for DDR5 platforms.
The memory kit also has a wing-shaped style for its wide V-shaped heat spreaders. Against its black colour, the white paint for the company name and logo at the centre pops out. It also applies to the Vulcan Alpha DDR5 to its right.
Front and Rear of the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5
While writing our TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review, we noticed something about its compact heat spreaders. Thanks to this size, installing a cooler while using these modules will not be difficult.
Instead of the company name and logo, a sticker is present on its rear. On it is the part number of the stick and not the kit. Plus, it delivers the timing, speed, and voltage.
At the centre is its serial number, and on its right is the manufacturing location (Taiwan). It also has a note that says do not remove this sticker.
Vertically, the sticks display an appealing look, especially for those who like RGBs/ARGBs. It is also sleek because of its low profile, leaving us without complaints since it looks good inside the chassis.
Heatsinks
The memory kit has an aluminium heatsink created via a one-piece stamping process. It sports a solid snap structure designed at the top.
The most vital element of the product is that the memory is perfect for the AMD platform. It also consists of carefully selected high-quality ICs tested for compatibility, stability, and excellent overclocking.
The Vulcan α DDR5 also has a power management IC for more efficient energy allocation and stable memory power supply. It also features decreased noise interference and enhanced signal transmission quality + stability.
Moreover, this gaming memory supports on-die EEC + IC error-detecting and correcting elements. These features improve the correctness of data transmissions while offering reliable and stable overclocking.
When installed on our board, the high contrast of the Vulcan α DDR5 is perfect with the system. One of the positives of the stick is anyone looking into the chassis will know who created the RAM.
The product features T-FORCE at the top-edge portion to make the name more prominent.

Hands-on with the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5
This TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review will not be complete without our product tests. We used the memory with our PC for a week to see how well it would perform.
As expected from 6000MHz, the T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 was up for the task. It delivered faster transfer speeds and higher performance, resulting in better gaming experiences.
The memory kit also had adequate headroom for overclocking, and increasing the speed was not an issue. When we did some tweaking, we even got better overclocks. Aside from excellent speed and performance, it had a lower voltage consumption.
Overall, the T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 is an impeccable memory kit. It is an excellent option if you want to build a PC with the latest AMD processors.
TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review Summary
DDR5 has been expensive for the past two years, so no one expected it to be affordable soon. To our surprise, TEAMGROUP released the T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5, a budget-friendly memory kit with frequencies reaching up to 6000MHz. Although many manufacturers aim to produce cheaper DDR5 memory kits, TEAMGROUP is the first to offer that.
Aside from high speeds, what makes the T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 impressive are its compact heat spreaders. They stand 30mm above the motherboard, allowing the installation of a massive AIO cooler on the roof. Usually, this section of the PC case is tight and installing a cooler becomes difficult.
During our tests for this TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 Review, we enjoyed its fast transfer speeds and performance boost. We also did not encounter issues while installing it on our PC since it has a build-friendly design.
On top of that, the T-FORCE Vulcan α DDR5 looks good whether you choose the red or black memory kit. Despite its simplicity and not having RGB lighting, the black colour makes it easy to blend with any build aesthetic. The red one is also attractive and is a good option if you want a different colour.
