Patriot Viper 3 8GB 2X4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit - Black Mamba
Cons:Pas de sticker de boitier inclus.Heatsink trop haut inutilement.

Pros:Prix intéressant lorsque Pricematché à 63.79$Bon manufacturier.Bonne caractéristique.Belle apparence.
Comment:
Les prix de la mémoire est relativement haut ces temps-ci. Il faut chercher beaucoup pour trouver des barrettes de mémoire CL9 1600MHZ à bon prix. Celles-ci sont les moins cher que j'ai trouvé lors de mon dernier achat de barrettes de mémoire. Le qualité et fiabilité des produits Patriot est reconnue donc je n'ai aucune crainte à recommander ce produit.

Cons:None

Pros:Reasonable price, works well
Comment:
Hard to complain... I bought mine at $35. Sometimes these are cheaper. Works great with my ASRock Z77 EXTREME4 Motherboard & Intel Core i5 3570K. Have not tried any overclocking but at stock speeds these are great. Nice looking head spreaders too that are not excessively large.

Patriot Viper 3 8GB 2X4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit - Black Mamba
Cons:tall heatsink will interfere with some "tower-type" aftermarket coolers but should not be a problem with most oem coolers and closed loop water coolers

Pros:Looks nice. Heatsink color scheme makes it look more expensive. Performs as expected based on speed rating and timing. Overclocked slightly without a problem and without adding voltage
Comment:
Great price when on sale.Purchased a pair to replace a set of Corsair Vengeance LP that was originally installed in an AMD-FX machine. (There was nothing wrong with the LP's except that I was transferring them to another machine that was AMD-FM2 based). At default settings, WEI actually increased from 7.2 to 7.4. I understand that the experience index doesn't really mean much but having that increase for me is still considered a plus and ynthetic benchmarks for the memory confirmed the improvement as well.As it stands, this memory has been running 24/7 for almost two months without any issues.Overall, this is a very good set considering that I paid just a little more than half of the retail price without a pricematch

Cons:The heatspreaders are taller than I expected

Pros:It looks really nice it works
Comment:
These look nicer in person, I bought them because my build is black and blue and I was surprised I have to say they look nicer than my Vengence(lowprofile white), I will have to check latter to see if they are stable but so far 1.5 hours normal use in Ubuntu and they are doing just fine.

Patriot Viper 3 8GB 2X4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit - Black Mamba
Cons:- None.

Pros:- Not obnoxious looking.- Fairly low profile.- Seems fairly tough physically and electronically.
Comment:
Out of the box it does what it says, and at a pretty good price.But more importantly it does much better than that. I've had it as high as 2200 with 11/11/11/28/2 e 1.6v, I'm fairly sure it would go even higher but to me that just means it's reliable.I keep it at 1800 with 1600 timings (9/9/9/24/1) and undervolted slightly at 1.475v. Nothing to complain about.

Patriot Viper 3 8GB 2X4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit - Black Mamba
Cons:None

Pros:Booted right from the get-goRuns perfectly fine at stock settingsLooks slickGood build quality
Comment:
I got the red ones, not the black ones, and I must say, metallic red never looked so sexy on my black mobo. The build quality is fantastic too, b/c no matter how hard and how much I wiggled the modules, the heatsink never budged and never came-off the sticks. Trust me, it's happened before with other modules. Stock settings t 1600MHz & 9-9-9-24 t 1.5v ran flawlessly. Kept up with my CPU's OC's nicely. Booted up my system right from install, I was so happy, :).

Cons:defective stickrma

Pros:cheap pricegood brand
Comment:
I bought this, and seemed to be running fine, but I had the occasional windows crash, the error was "memory management". I ran memtest86 on the ram and found that one of the sticks was getting tons of errors (thousands per minute of the test). The other stick had no errors. NCIX was quick to do an RMA, so it will be replaced.I'm not sure if this is normal thing for this ram or not, hopefully the replacement will work fine.

Pros:StableLooks good
Comment:
I am using this RAM on an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard with an Intel i5 3750k. It works perfectly fine. I have no complaints so far. I should mention that my system has not been overclocked so I have no idea how overclockable this is.Aside from that, it looks pretty damn slick... which doesn't really matter since it's buried deep inside the PC, right?
