Review: Patriot Viper Steel 4000 MHz DDR4
Today we are reviewing Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 memory. This is a new variant of the Patriot Viper series, which quite surprisingly doesn’t have RGB support (unlike the Viper Gaming RGB kit that we checked out previously). A kit running a 4000 MHz frequency.

I'm enjoying my current Patriot Viper Elite 16GB kit (2x8) PV416G320C6K. No troubles. I paid $~190 in December of '17--it is selling now for $111.00--for the 16GB kit! OKAY--caught Amazon doing it again!... As I refreshed the link the price magically rose to $119, for the pair! Gotcha', Amazon--and your creepy price-padding algorithms! Wish I knew what the exact algorithm is! Since I don't know, I can't predict accurately. 3rd or 4th time I hit the page, the price magically rose...! Grrrrr. Don't click on the link more than twice (?) or it will jack-up the price! I've noticed similar things for Wishlist entries at times. This is not the first time I've seen this from Amazon! YMMV...!
Anyway, the odd thing I noticed here is that my kit is spec'ed at faster timings than this one at 3200Mhz. 16-18-18-36 for this ram versus 16-16-16-36 for mine @ 3200Mhz. Interesting.

Eh?.... Should also work in D3d12 multi-gpu, I would guess.
Vega 64 doesn't work in crossfire :p

I wish there were still amd cards with dual gpu like the old 4870x2 or whatever it was called, a dual vega 64 or 7 would be a beast and empty my wallet immediately lol

"The memory is optimized for use with the latest Intel motherboards and processors, but there shouldn’t be any problem with AMD systems either."
Are you certain about that? Not trying to be confrontational, but I'd be quite interested in seeing the outcome of pairing this kit up with a Summit Ridge memory controller.

Possibly, but I wasn't really getting any notable performance boosts anywhere else either other than a more responsive bios, maybe an extra second shaved off my boot time, but that was about it.
I have a second vega 64 laying around for crossfire if I want but I haven't tried it since none of the games I usually play are supported, maybe the faster ram will help in crossfire? I just wouldn't see the gains.
