Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 RAM 16GB (2X8GB) 3200MHz CL16 1.35v UDIMM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit Compatible with XMP - PVS416G320C6K

Upgrading my PC with this Patriot Steel DDR4 RAM was a bit of a rollercoaster. When I first installed it and powered on, I got an error that made me think the RAM was faulty. My heart skipped a beat!Turns out, silly me—I put the RAM in the wrong slot. Once I fixed that, everything fired up perfectly.Going from 16GB to 32GB was a massive jump. My computer now runs lightning fast, and I can have way more browser tabs open and multitask like a champ without slowing down.If you’re looking for a reliable RAM upgrade that seriously boosts performance, this Patriot Steel kit is the way to go — just double-check your slots before panicking like me!

Make sure to upgrade your mobo and make sure that your previous mobo even had the capability to run this ram at rated speed. DerpI was fuming when I first got the ram. I thought I got robbed due to the price of the ram and it being 4400Mhz speed was a steal. Well I realized that my ROG Strixx B450-I couldn't run the ram at rated speed or anything near it. Wouldn't even boot up some times if the speed was above 3866Mhz. After I had an unfortunate mishap with my previous board I upgraded to the B550 Aorus Master and it runs EASILY at rated speed and timings without any issues whatsoever.Plan to buy another kit and see if I can run 32Gb at 4400Mhz. I imagine not as the higher the capacity the worse the speed gets, but hey if I can get these B-Die to run at 3600 with really tight timings at 32Gb I call that a win.Update 8/5/2020: I purchased another kit and I'm running 32gb of this awesome ram at XMP 2.0 profile 2 which is 4266Mhz. Booted up just fine without any issues whatsoever. Couldn't boot at fastest timing, but I counted on that. I know that the 3900x can't really do anything with the extra speed past 3600Mhz, but it's nice for the system to be able to run at the rated speed. Will work on getting lower timings with 3600Mhz across all 32Gb in the future to see just how much added performance I can get out of my hardware.Update 9/5/2020: After a few bios updates I can now successfully run this ram at the main XMP speed of 4400Mhz without issue. I even tightened the timings with the help of Tech Jesus aka GNSteve and everything flies.

It's hard to go wrong with ram from Patriot. This is top performing DDR4 ram at a great price.

Just a forewarning to anyone looking to buy this kit is to make sure to check your motherboard manufactures QVL of compatible RAM. check the part numbers for example this kit "PVS416G440C9K" and check if its there. for peace of mind if you want to play it safe. I purchased this kit anyways even though its not in the QVL. but that doesn't mean you can't run it :Dtesting results are done by a complete novice (me) and will verify soon in forums if they are done right for now its just a typical amazon review. I had a lot of fun benching this kit to find the right timings for a few profiles on my daily rig. There were tons of trials and errors cold booting double booting no boot etc. all while learning how timings work. took a few days/nights trying to find the right sweet spot for my system, While trying to stay within the memory controller limits, hopefully its enough to utilize this kit. Here are my results.Tested PC PartsCPU - Ryzen 9 3900x OC 4.3ghz on all CCX'sCooler - Noctua NH-U12S (push/pull on NF-12 fans)Board - Asus TUF x570 Plus Wi-Fi bios rev. 1407 ( memory kit is NOT in the motherboard QVL)GPU - Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb (doesn't really matter for this test)Case - Lian Li Lancool IIPSU - EVGA 850 G5Storage - Corsair Force MP600Tested Profile:CPU Setting - Ryzen Master on Manual OC @ 4.3 1.28v on all CCX'sManual (D.O.C.P.

I was scared to buy this kit at first because its not in my motherboards Qualified Vendor List (QVL) furthermore I was looking at the voltages on the kit themselves, Which they state are rated to go 4400Mhz @1.48v I would say its fairly high for daily use. Normally should be around 1.35v is what everyone says, but I will test it out in the long run @ 1.45v. I ran MEMtest86 overnight with a 0 errors and a 1500% pass so I would say its stable that this profile. I will try to test for higher frequencies another day, maybe 4200? Overall I am satisfied with how this kit performs. I would definitely get another set if I could.
