Patriot Viper 4 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Review - PAGE 1

When Intel released its latest X99 platform and Haswell-E extreme processors, most big players in the computer memory were ready with several products of their own that offered a new memory standard in the form of DDR4 memory kits. These kits come with higher module density and lower voltage requirements, which translate into better performance levels compared to previous generation DDR3 technology. This new standard is also maturing at an impressive pace, and today's Viper 4 review sample from Patriot is the perfect example boasting modules running at 3000MHz out of the box!

Founded in 1985, Patriot manufactures high performance, enthusiast memory modules with the goal of offering a perfect blend of quality and value for consumers. The Viper 4 series featured in today's review is situated in the mid-range of Patriot’s DDR4 product stack and is geared towards the enthusiast on a budget not looking to pay a premium for the Viper Extreme Edition but still wants more performance and cooling potential than what the value-oriented Signature Line offers. The Viper 4 series utilizes a custom heat shield designed to improve heat dissipation and allow for better system stability. The Viper 4 memory kits are currently available at speeds ranging from 2400MHz up to 3000MHz with capacities of 16GB and 32GB, and are XMP 2.0 ready. These quad channel kits are also backed by a lifetime warranty and Patriot's reputation.
