Patriot Viper Steel 8GB DDR4 3200MHz Desktop RAM Review

We review all-new Viper Gaming RGB 16 GB (dual channel) 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM kit from Patriot. It’s not the fastest in their new series but still looks very reasonable with a proper price & perf ratio. It should be also possible to overclock these DIMMs a bit further, so – why not have a look at that? Simply put, Viper Gaming RGB looks very cool with RGB implementation, and it’s good that an XMP 2.0 memory profile for Intel is available as well of course. When it comes to PCs, especially in our realm, Gaming is the thing that is what it is all about in the market now. Many types of parts and accessories usually sell better, when they’re marked and marketed directed towards gamers. Part of that is RGB, which is very trendy, but most definitely can increase the already high price of memory kit. Almost every manufacturer introduced RAM with some kind of lighting. The first one in the market was G.Skill with their TridentZ RGB series, then the others have been and are Corsair, Team Group, Geil and Ballistix. Patriot didn’t want to be too far behind, as HyperX and others want to have a piece of the market too. High-end enthusiasts will definitely have a look at the Patriot Viper RGB kit. Patriot Viper RGB Series was designed for extreme performance, even 4133 MHz modules are available. RGB lighting included 5 different lighting zones – all fully customizable through Viper RGB software. Have a peek at the photo below: DDR4 memory modules on the market are in different segments, but these Patriots definitely belong to the upper-end. Warranty for these DIMMs is set at a lifetime. This memory is optimized for both Intel, and AMD platforms. Normally we'd recommend you to look at the QVL list for the motherboard and proc support, that's one thing that Patriot lacks on their website though. We hope to see that improved soon, as you do not want to gamble on compatibility with your expensive purchases.
