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

The Patriot Viper 4 Blackout 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 3200 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 11.9ns. 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.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $162.95 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.
