Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4 8GB(2 x 4GB) 2666MHz Kit

I was unsure after reading the mixed views on this ram, but it did work.To give a bit of context, the motherboard I use is Gigabyte M450 Aorus Elite, cpu is AMD Ryzen 7 3700x. I originally had 32gb Corsair ram (3000mhz, cl16) but wanted to upgrade. I looked at this Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4 32GB(2 x 16GB) 4000MHz Kit and thought it is a good deal so with a bit hesitation I thought I could give it try.The key to make it work is to change the ram frequency manually in BIOS. With 1.20v I could increase it to 36000mhz. If I increase the voltage to 1.30, I could reach 3800mhz, but then the system became potentially unstable. For example, after restarting on the second day, the computer ran into blue screen. I only later found that the voltage on motherboard was somehow returned to its default 1.20v, and so it wouldn't work with a 4000mhz setup. I decided to keep the default and run it at [email protected], so far no problems at all.The difference in ram speed is noticeable, so, so far so good.I may give an update in future if it runs into any problems.

A cheap 32Gb kit which was installed into an MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard, XMP profiles work just fine and does what it needs to do.The modules aren't very tall, no flashy ARGB bling to them ( hooray !! ) and work just fine. Haven't tinkered with timings and probably won't as they function OK as is.It was a quick PC build for a friend, he's well happy with the system as a whole and no complaints about performance etc. either.

Great stability ...didn't get the full speed but that's due to the motherboard...

To get them to work with Asus Motherboard D.O.C.P (Profile1) at 3600mhz - I had to put them in the grey slots.

While not every set is going to be faulty, mine was – exhibiting continuous errors when running Memtest86 with XMP enabled at the stock 4000MT/s, and also XMP with transfers overridden to 3800, 3600 and 3200MT/s. (Errors disappeared at 2666MT/s, but obviously this is well below spec.) This was with no other RAM installed, just these two sticks.Remember to always check new RAM from a bootable USB before running your operating system, since faulty memory can corrupt the OS or your personal files.

After upgrading my motherboard, I decided I wanted to upgrade the ram as well. I ordered the 32GB kit. It’s amazing for the price.

Bought these DIMMs after reading all the mixed reviews. Decided to buy anywayInstalled and set to rated speeds and couldn't get them stable. I run a ASRock Z790 PG Lightning.BIOS update sorted the compatibility issue out for me and now running stable and problem free at 4000Mhz. I'm an avid Tarkov player so a year later i've just bought another 32GB for a total of 64GB. Unsure whether i'll be able to run all 4 DIMMs at 4000Mhz but no biggie if not... they definitely work in pairs as advertised if you know how to actually manage your computer instead of plug and play.

This is great value RAM. I bought the 2 x 32GB 3600MHZ set.I’m running mine in a MSI Z490 motherboard with an intel 10900k CPU. It runs at full speed without issue. The timings aren’t as good as the more expensive RAM sticks at 20-26-26-46, but at this price you cant have it all.I’m really happy with my purchase and would happily buy another set should i need more RAM in the future.
