Patriot Viper 4 Blackout DIMM DDR4

The Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 4133MHz 16GB RAM is an extremely fast memory kit for both Intel and AMD platforms. This memory can be a little tricky for an AMD setup, but once you find the sweet spot this RAM will run close to the 4133MHz (3933MHZ, 3700x on a B550 board) on an AMD system.

Patriot Viper 4 memory with Samsung B Die memory ICs are super affordable and overclocking beasts if you have the time and desire to manually tweak them!

In diesem Test stehen ein paar schlichte RAM-Module aus dem Hause Patriot auf dem Programm, die auf den Namen Viper 4 Blackout hören. Die Speichermodule der Viper-Blackout-Serie wurden mit Augenmerk auf eine hohe Leistung und ein schlankes Design entwickelt. Und die Leistung werden wir uns in unserem Overclockingteil genauer ansehen.

Beim Patriot Viper Blackout PVB464G360C8K kommen eine sehr hohe Kapazität von 64 GiByte, eine Freigabe für DDR4-3600 und ein attraktiver Preis zusammen. PC Games Hardware beleuchtet, was das Kit in der Praxis leistet, welche Tuning-Reserven es bietet und für wen sich ein Kauf lohnt.

This particular memory kit is best suited for workstation users who want more bandwidth than what DDR4 2666 can provide but not break the bank with its reasonable pricing. It is perfect for AMD's AM4 Socket with 12 or 16 core CPUs. Specifically for AMD, having memory running at DDR4 3600 allows a matching Infinity Fabric Clock (FCLK) of 1800MHz, which is safe bet for all 3rd Gen Ryzen (3000) CPUs. This is because, as explained in the AMD Ryzen Memory Scaling Analysis article, a FCLK of 1900MHz generally isn't possible without tweaking various voltages in the BIOS. Many users will be unwilling to take the time to overclock memory. For those ambitious types, DDR4 3800 is possible and will put the Ryzen 3rd Gen CPUs FLCK to the absolute limits for 99.9% of them.

Today we have the Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series DDR4 64GB. Who need more RAM? I will never say no to more RAM. The more the better. When I look for new RAM I want to know the MHz and CAS. You want to be able to find the highest compatible MHz with your motherboard and then narrow that list down to the lowest CAS you can find. Now once you get over 16GB of RAM you game performance may not see a justifiable performance boost, unless the game is CPU heavy. But if you are like me and want to have a game running along with other programs you will definitely appreciate the extra RAM.
