Patriot Viper 3 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot Viper 3 4 GB ships as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. DDR3 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $217.18 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
