2x16GB @ 2666MHz results in 2x16GB @ 2133MHz.

2133MHz as other customers have mentioned. Ordering 2 new bars from someone else and sending them back unless a solution is found with this company. If it said 2133MHz, I wouldn't buy it. 2666MHz is the maximum frequency my board can support without overclocking and I didn't want to bother with overclocking.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Nice Ram Package Best in Internals

Arrived quickly and packaged in a premium box to match its price. Viper is Patriot premium storage. It comes with an efficient heatsink and looks great (other colors are available). Everything else is basic material. Put it in MB 8th gen and it works great. I think the real test is working long hours. For this info I'll have to come back in a few years to give an update but so far it works, fast and looks nice.

Great memory for the price!

I bought an 8GB (2 x 4GB) Viper Elite 2666MHz RAM kit (PVE48G266C6KGY) to run it on my Asus ROG Strix B450 Gaming MB with Ryzen 5 2600 OC on 4 GHz to use. My original 3rd party RAM failed so I sent it in for RMA and bought it to use until I can get a replacement RAM. 16-17-17-17-36). According to Thaiphoon Burner, this is SpecTek (Micron) Single Rank (A Die I believe). Overall I am very impressed with this RAM kit and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good RAM kit at a…

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

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Available in white only

Reliable Performance - Runs as advertised at 2666MHz

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…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly torn
