Review on Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 8GB (2X4GB) 2666MHz PC4-21300 Dual Channel Kit (Black/Grey) PVE48G266C6KGY by Jonathan Abreu

I've had this RAM (2x16GB kit) for over a year now. All the time he was solid with no problems. I ran memtest86 the day I first got it. No mistakes. I'm running this on an MSI Z390-A PRO with XMP enabled. The correct acceleration rate was found immediately. If you are new to this RAM speed, remember that you need to enable XMP to run it at the advertised speed. If you can't do that, then it's a BIOS issue, not a RAM issue. Those who leave bad reviews that they cannot work at the advertised speed. Please do your homework before you write. Whatever your rating does, it makes you look stupid in front of all experienced users and confuses all newbies. This RAM runs at 2666 MHz as advertised. If your motherboard supports XMP, it will do so automatically once you enable this feature. Otherwise you will have to overclock it manually. In conclusion, for those who are repelled by the term overclocking. Technically, this is not overclocking as the RAM modules are designed for this speed. The problem is that 2133MHz is the industry standard speed. The standard specifies higher speeds, but these refer to "enthusiast" speeds. It just means it's safe to run at that speed, if the motherboard supports it and the RAM is designed to a higher speed specification given by the RAM manufacturer. Not all motherboards support this, so please do your homework again. If your motherboard supports XMP, it will do so automatically once you enable this feature.
