Specifications and features

“Patriot Memory’s Viper Steel memory modules are designed with true performance in mind. Built for the latest Intel® and AMD™ platforms, the Viper Steel series provides the best performance and stability for the most demanding computer environments. The Viper Steel utilizes a custom-designed high-performance aluminum heat shield for a clean sleek steel-look inside any motherboard. The Viper Steel is made to ensure rock-solid performance even when using the most taxing applications. Built from the highest quality build of materials, Patriot’s Viper Steel Series memory modules are hand tested and validated for system compatibility.
Patriot’s Viper Steel Series is offered at speeds from 3000MHz up to 4400MHz with XMP 2.0 support. Hand tested for quality assurance the Viper Steel series is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.”

  

 

VIPER STEEL features:

  • Gunmetal grey sides with diamond- cutting Viper logo / Blacktop
  • Aluminium heat spreader with unique and specific design elements
  • Compatibility: tested on the latest AMD/Intel platforms
  • Limited lifetime warranty

Not much of the marketing stuff here, so we can proceed to the essence. Let’s see what we have under the hood. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die. According to this program, the chips that are used here are from Hynix. Will that provide headroom for some overclocking? We’ll see on the following pages.

 

Manufacturer:

Patriot

Model:

PVS464G360C8K

Frequency:

DDR4-3600

Basic timings:

18-22-22-42

Capacity:

2 kits of 32 GB (16 GB x2)

Voltage:

1.35 V

PCB Type:

8 layers

Form Factor:

288-pin DIMM

Warranty:

Limited Lifetime

 

You can already see that the official timings are worse than what the software shows (18-22-22-42 vs 18-20-20-40), so that’s actually good for the consumer.
The chips are covered with a heatsink to ensure that the memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance. You put the sticks in, enable XMP (which is, in fact, the industry standard and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with some photo-shooting first, and then move on to the practical part (benchmark/games).

Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 6200 CL40 review
Patriot presented a new series of DDR5 memories in April; it’s the Viper Venom DDR5. Most kits come in 32 GB (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6400 MHz). We are checking the Patriot Viper Venom 6200 MHz CL40 DDR5 kit today. It’s the best model of the series.

Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz (2x 16GB) review
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.

Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3600 MHz (64GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL18 memory in a 64 GB set consisting of two 32 GB modules. At the beginning of 2019, we had an opportunity to check a higher-clocked kit from that series (4000 MHz), but the capacity was 2 x 8 GB. Patriot’s Viper Steel Series is offered at speeds ranging from 3000 MHz up to 4400 MHz, with XMP 2.0 support.
