Patriot PC2-5300 2GB DDR2 Memory
Type: Patriot PDC22G5300LLK CL 4-4-4-12 timings DDR2 667

So today we are going to have a look at some new DDR2 memory from the good people at Patriot memory. It's good timing as there is a lot going on in the memory industry right now ... or should I have said good timings ;)

Obviously Intel had DDR2 ready platform for a while not but it just did not kick off big-time as standard DDR memory simply could keep up very well bandwidth and latency wise. Things are slowly changing though, and this year we'll see a big move towards DDR2 memory, trust me. next tot hat it's hasn't been that long that a 2GB kit (2x1GB modules) of memory lacking in performance when compared to a 1GB kit (2x512MB modules) yet it was more then twice the price of a 1GB Kit. The timings have gotten better and prices have fallen, so lets take a look at a price conscious 2GB memory kit.

A week or two ago AMD launched their Socket AM2 platform processor with a built in DDR2 controller in the processors, and we know what AMD can do with memory controllers .. they can make memory fly for real. Today's tested kit is a 2 Gigabyte kit as stated from Patriot. The kit despite it's high capacity has some pretty awesome timings. It's 667 MHz DDR2 memory that utilize a cool 4-4-4 timing with a 1T command rate. Does that sound a bit to geek for you ? No worries we'll explain what it all means.

So basically today we'll do three things with this memory today. We'll take a look at it's standard timings and frequency, we'll see if we can lower timings even better and then have a look at the maximum frequency of this memory. These three situation will be visualized with a benchmark suite where we'll look performance graphs of the best solution. That being said .. let's startup the test.

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.
