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.

Low oc.
Mine cheapo 4400c19 vipers with not best oc MB, 370 taichi, does 4100 15 15 15 31 280@1.53v.
Different board, same memory goes 4400 c16 16 16 34 but 1.62v.
Mems are around 150-180e for 2*8Gb.
They seems best good value b-die on market now
Well, you compare the OC of 2 x 8 GB vs 2 x 32 GB. That's totally different story Mate

Not bad for 64GBs (2x32)--which, btw, I would not recommend for most people because it's simply not going to be used in any game--it's literally too much ram for most people, imo. Expensive, specialist applications might use that much ram, or even twice as much if not more. I have two sets of the Viper Steel DIMMs, each 2x8GB. The kit I'm currently using is an XMP 3733Mhz kit; the other is a 4400MHz kit (saving for later.) With the 3733Mhz ram in my X570 Aorus Master mboard, I'm using the following timings @1.35v and 3733Mhz, CL 16-19-19-19-39-68 1T, Gear down enabled. (Stock XMP timings are 17-21-21-21-41-68) Runs like a top even though these are all better-than-factory timings. I let the system decide each boot whether to run Gear down or not--setting it to auto in the bios--and it always chooses Gear Down enabled. I've run a lot of tests with GD disabled, but the enabled setting seems a bit faster. I might eke out a bit more performance--someday--if I feel like playing with it. Nice ram, However--very nicely priced, too!

You are actually loosing performance over 3600/3733 on ryzen so there no point in these 4400 overpriced ram you guys are tlking about.

Euhmm, there is if you are going to overclock your ram manually, then you can lower the frequency to 3733 and do CL14 or even lower...
I got these in 3733mhz/CL17, worked flawlessly with r5 3600 on xmp settings !
