Patriot Viper Xtreme 6 GB (3x2GB DDR3-2000)

The Patriot Viper Xtreme 6 GB comes as 3 modules of 2GB each with 6GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 2000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. As a high-end DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

6GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $120.53 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
