Review on πŸ’Ύ Patriot Viper Steel 8GB DDR4 3000MHz CL18 SODIMM Memory Module - PVS48G300C8S by Shawn Schmidt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works most of the time

I bought this stick because it was rated at 2666MHz (base) at a very reasonable price. To the right of the bat, you should note that the 3000MHz in the product name is for XMPP (aka overclocking) only. This limits 2933MHz support to just a few gaming laptops that support XMPP. Basically it works fine, I connected it to another OEM 2666MHz 19CL module in my HP computer. As expected, it runs at 2666 MHz. I have a critical problem: every time I restart the computer, it only recognizes 1 memory stick. I have to turn it off completely and wait a few minutes and then turn it back on for both sticks to be recognized. every time When the computer is on with both sticks turned on, I've never had a problem.

Pros
  • Base Frequency: PC4-21300 (2666MHz); Base time: 19-19-19-43; Tested frequency (XMP 1): PC4-24000 (3000MHz); Timings tested: 18-22-22-43
Cons
  • Hard to tell
