Review on Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 8GB PC4-21300 2666 MHz Memory Module (Black/Grey) by Rey High

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable memory - don't listen to fools

This is reliable memory 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 there by default, you'll need to enable XMP overclocking in the BIOS to get the advertised speeds (2666 in this case). This applies to all memory modules I have including my current Corsair kit. Don't listen to the ignorant people here who say it's not 2666 - it is, they just have no idea what they're talking about.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor problems
