Patriot Viper PC3-16000 4GB Memory Kit Review


Wed 2008-11-19 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Logic have posted a review of the dual channel Patriot Viper PC3-16000 4GB memory kit.

Let's see what they had to say:

"Patriot gives extreme enthusiasts another memory kit to drool over. With its high performance and large capacity, these Vipers are serious business. They rock an aggressive heat sink design with an intense color scheme that is bound to turn some heads. You get all this at a competitive price point and Patriot's lifetime warranty. Nice!

Unfortunately, only 790i motherboard owners can make use of EPP. You can still use this memory with other DDR3 compatible boards such as the X48, but the rated 2000MHz is not guaranteed. And although it is competitively priced among 4GB DDR3-2000 kits, having to pay over $300 for RAM is a tough pill to swallow.

If you are a 790i motherboard owner, you probably want the best you can get. This Viper memory kit represents one of the most desirable products you can add to your set up. If you are looking to get the most out of your high end system, Patriot's Extreme Performance Viper PC3-16000 memory should be very high on your list."


A decent but not spectacular PC3-16000 memory kit with hideous heatspreaders. On the plus side, it is priced fairly reasonably for a high-end 4GB kit.
