                                       - The performance at 3000 Mhz is just amazing, personally I lowered the frequency to 2133 Mhz to gain latency and it's just titanic.
- Works well for basic tasks. Great speed.
- Nice transfers and possibility for OC/ tightenings the timings.
- Good Looking, Very fast memory with great Value for the money.
- This is excellent memory. Amazing speed of memory.

                               Patriot Memory VIPER 4 3000MHz 16GB Dual Channel DDR4 Kit
                                       - RAM memory really good quality, value for money ok, nice as well to see!
- The installation of the memory is simple, they are not very bulky modules that will cause problems when installing them on the board.
- They are perfectly compatible with Ryzen, although in principle there would be no problem with Intel.
- Looks good. Just about fit under my air cooler.
- It's really tall, can sometimes be a pain if you've got RAM slots close to a fat CPU cooler.
Patriot Memory VIPER STEEL DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3000MHz Kit
                                       - This memory is recognized as 2133 MHz when installed without any action.
- The heat sink looks beautiful, with an aggressive look.
- The memory modules are quite low profile which make it easier to install larger heatsinks.
- This ram was expensive and was good to begin with. I mean the concept of was good.
- Excellent memory at a great price, running at 3000mhz with very tight timings.
