Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhance Performance with Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 8GB 3000MHz Memory Module - PVS48G300C6 by Derick Johns

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The XMP profile is not stable. Expect base speeds

As mentioned in many other reviews, the 'tested' XMP profile for this RAM is actually unstable. For the kit I received, I can't overclock my new gaming rig without BSOD. It feels like I've been betrayed. I can play all games (Rocket League, Warzone, Apex, etc.) at base speed. As soon as I use it in an XMP profile or even at the tested timings of 2800MHz or 3000MHz at different combinations of clock speeds, all games crash and computer BSODs. I also used the Ryzen DRAM calculator but it didn't work either. Memtest runs fine and doesn't report any problems, so unfortunately I can't return it. Something else has to happen. Some system specs: Asus x470 Prime ProEVGA 1070TI FTW2Ryzen 2700x

Pros
  • base timings: 15-15-15-36; Tested timings: 16-18-18-38
