For Patriot package of the RAM memory, our based company that makes up to USB thumb drives to one five of the major companies to build the fast DDR3 kits in a reasonable price margin. With Viper as its trademark enthusiast grade name for this newer DDR3 kits, going all the name of a snake that is deadly in sight and being you a nasty bite, for this type of Memory rather than snake, it gives our great chunks of info in the board and also have scales in between the memory chips as heat spreaders of the RAM, efficiently cooling the chips in a relative temps while on load and in idle. With the Patriot logo in the sides of the heat spreaders, not more like the Corsairs heat spreaders version but more on the air catcher rather than the bulky heat sink that we seen in the corsair dominator series. The Patriot PC2-9600 C5 kit benched comfortably at their stock settings and also with the stack standard of 1.67V of the VRAM. In return the modules gave the expected stellar results as would be customary of a kit of memory at this frequency and timings scores and BIOS readings.
With a thinner heat sink, you can squeeze with up to four of these memory sticks even in a tight motherboard layout, like the MSI’s P45 platinum, for a four x 1 GB kits can be possible with the Patriot Viper. For the standard memory speed of 1800 with DDR3 memory it can go to most of the new type P45 and even newer X48 chipsets that support to up to the required speed of the memory. If you are specifically after low power, low heat and low profile modules then keep an eye out in December when they become available. We respect there is a market for these DIMMs over concerns of latency and overclocking performance, and for those with X48 DDR3 boards will probably find the over clock fits nicely in to your new DDR3 Intel based platform, But I don’t know about the new AM3 series form AMD with the full support of the new DDR3 interface memory controller..
In the performance sector, it comes close with the Corsairs latency and speed via bulk info coming to and for the Northbridge and Ram, while for AMD it can take advantage of the hyper threading with the lanes going directly to the CPU for speedy transfer and loading times going into a breeze. Going to be a good value for many people, with the Corsair a bit costly with others cannot live with; the Patriot is a good relief for those in a budget performance, I can’t wait for the pay cheque.
