Patriot Viper 4 8 GB (2x4GB DDR4-3200)

The Patriot Viper 4 8 GB ships as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 3200 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. 8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR4 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $208.16, which lands it among high-end options.
