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

Reliable storage - don't listen to idiots

This is reliable storage at a solid price. I personally switched to a set of Corsair sticks because I realized I wanted a higher clock speed for my Ryzen, but this RAM is as advertised. There are a few idiots who leave one star reviews because they don't understand how overclocking works; You see it as 2133 in the BIOS and assume something is wrong with the memory - NO, the memory is fine. All memory is present by default. You need to enable XMP overclocking in the BIOS to get advertised speeds (2666 in this case). This applies to all memory modules I have, including my current Corsair kit. Don't listen to ignorant people who say it's not 2666 - it is,

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
