Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 32 GB (4x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 32 GB ships as 4 modules of 8GB each with 32GB 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.

As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 32GB on offer here is the spec that counts for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work. At $83.73 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
