Patriot Viper 4 8 GB (2x4GB DDR4-3600)

The Patriot Viper 4 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 9.4ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify. 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. At $127.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
