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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Won't run consistently at advertised speeds

I recently put together my first proper Ryzen build and Ryzen's word seems to be get the fastest RAM you can afford because it's quite gaming performance has a lot of impact on you. I wanted 32GB at an affordable price so I went with this memory as the advertised speed of 3200MHz was the lowest I wanted to work at. This memory can't handle that speed, I had to drop it down to 2900MHz in the BIOS to run games like Rust and Subnautica without crashing every hour or so. I spent hours fixing this issue before overclocking the memory and haven't had a single crash since. However, my FPS dropped an average of 5-8 frames in both Subnautica and Rust. I think you get what you pay for. I will soon use this memory in another build and replace it with higher quality sticks.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
