Patriot Viper II 'Sector 5' Edition 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-2400)

The Patriot Viper II 'Sector 5' Edition 4 GB ships as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 7.5ns. 4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $101.73 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
