Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1866)

The Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 8 GB arrives as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 10.7ns.

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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $95.44, which lands it among mid-range options.
