Patriot Viper Steel RGB 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-3600)

The Patriot Viper Steel RGB 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 20, working out to a true latency of about 11.1ns. As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $135.99, which lands it among high-end options.
