Patriot Viper SODIMM 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot Viper SODIMM 4 GB arrives as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $57.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
