Patriot Viper Elite II 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-3600)

The Patriot Viper Elite II 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 20, working out to a true latency of about 11.1ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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 $229.99, which lands it among high-end options.
