Patriot Viper Xtreme 6 GB (3x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot Viper Xtreme 6 GB ships as 3 modules of 2GB each with 6GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. For gaming, capacity matters more than raw speed past 3600 MT/s — 6GB comfortably covers esports and everyday use.
