Patriot Viper

Patriot's Viper RGB White DDR4-4133 16GB Dual-Channel RAM kit gets thoroughly investigated here in our latest memory review.

Introduction DDR4 memory kits are steadily superseding DDR3 DIMMs due to competitive pricing and the advent of Intel's LGA1151 chipset which supports speeds in excess of 3200MHz. Furthermore, DDR4 modules require less voltage to remain stable despite the typical increase in memory bandwidth. Recently, professional overclocker Shamino set an astounding world record and overclocked the G.Skill Ripjaws 4 to 4255MHz using a mere 1.3 volts. Clearly, this is an extreme case and the majority of DDR4 kits available to consumers range between 2400MHz and 4000MHz. Plus, the performance difference in gaming tasks primarily revolves around your system's graphics card, and CPU.

Patriot are well known for their Viper Gaming series of memory products, which are designed for gamers at a reasonable price. The Patriot’s memory SKUs recently expanded to include the fastest DDR4 memory kits to ...

Patriot sent us the Viper Steel for review. A memory kit that I've been eagerly waiting to get tested ever since I got the news mainly for a couple of

Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz CL20 (yes – 20!) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. I can say that we’ve had our fair share of experience with Patriot RAM. We had an opportunity to test a similarly clocked kit (3600 MHz) from the Viper Steel series (so no RGB there), but the capacity was 2 x 32 GB back then, and the latencies were quite surprisingly better, at 18-22-22-42. Before that, we also reviewed one of the fastest 2 x 8 GB kits in the range, clocked at 4000 MHz with CL19 latency. Introduction

The Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600MHz DDR4 Memory offers great illumination and performance all while remaining affordable.

For those who were in elementary school in 1990s or earlier, I want to ask you this question: Were playgrounds cooler back then compared to what we have now? I was recently talking to a friend who grew up in the 2000s, and I was lamenting how today's playgrounds simply do not stand against the stuff we had. Simply put, today's playgrounds are boring and uninteresting. Some of the stuff I remember back then include a freestanding, open-air metal spiral slide that was probably 30 feet tall, a massive climbing dome with its highest point 15 feet above the ground, and a very steep hill that we were allowed to toboggan down in the winter that is no doubt illegal today even for adults. The spiral slide was so tall you could feel it shake from the wind and it had a straight staircase where we lined up on every step there was and waited for our turn. I am not even sure if the stairs were even made to hold that many people at the same time, and only God knows what would happen if someone at the top fell backwards. With regards to the climbing dome, I was pretty sure we were not allowed to go to the top, but recess supervisors generally turned a blind eye if you appeared responsible. As for the ultra-steep tobogganing hill? It was probably the most fun I have ever had in my childhood. And let us be honest here -- none of us died and we all lived to tell the story. Personally, I did not even get injured once. I apologize to all the kids today. We grew up using these facilities without any problems, and then it was also us who decided it was too dangerous and took it away from all of you. With all this nostalgia in mind, I want to ask a somewhat related question: Was RAM cooler back then without RGB LEDs? No doubt there were some interesting stuff if we turn the clock back 15 years or so. Some of my highlights include the OCZ Special Ops Edition Urban Elite, OCZ Reaper HPC, and OCZ Flex XLC. So to answer the question on whether RAM was cooler back then without RGB LEDs, let us take come back to now and take a look at the RGB-enabled Patriot Viper Steel RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB.

Second-quarter of this year, Viper Gaming by Patriot, released its latest Gen4 NVMe SSD - the Patriot Viper VP4300 PCIe m.2 Gen4 SSD.

Under the spotlight today is the Black Mamba RAM 2133MHz memory kit which comes from Patriot's Viper 3 product line.

The new Viper 3 Series is in our midst. Dubbed Black Mamba Edition can this Generation 3 DDR3 memory deliver a deadly blow with pace and agility?
