Review on Patriot Signature Line 3200MHz Single by David Thomley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for gaming, but good for content creation.

I give it 3 stars (5 for installation because it's RAM and 2 for gaming/value for money). RAM at 3200MHz, all 4 of my sticks run at 2400MHz. BTW this RAM stick alone won't let me enable XMP and the "OC" timers and they are locked on Auto which locks this 2400MHz RAM. Although it can run at 3200MHz, it is locked at 2400MHz. It's not for gaming when you are. Go with at least 16GB (I have 8x3 T-Force and then this 8x1). For reference, I ran Horizon Zero Dawn. I didn't gain nor lose FPS before and after installation which slows down other RAM. I knew this was going to happen, I basically made it stuff my motherboard with some custom heatsinks. Mathematically, I have a bit more MHz (100), but that won't result in many frames in games. For content creation, more RAM is better, of course speed is important, but the things I use (After Effects, Photoshop Blender and Premier) work better with more capacity. Threads don't actually use RAM so anyone getting this for a 'streaming game update' won't notice as it has to do with the number of threads on your CPU per core. The ships are also from Samsung so you know it's quality. Generally not for gaming, not for value, especially if you have higher RAM speed (assuming you have 2 sticks at 3200mhz, it will actually hurt fps). For content creation, it is useful for 3D work and caching before playback. However, even in this case, this is a small amount.
