Patriot Viper Elite 32 GB (1x32GB DDR4-2666)

The Patriot Viper Elite 32 GB comes as a single module with 32GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 12ns. 32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $227.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
