Patriot Memory Performance Viper Elite DDR4 16GB Memory Kit PC3-17000 (2133MHZ) PVE416G213C4KGY Gray

I have a gaming PC I purchased from Amazon that is a Cyberpower. It came with 8gb (1 stick) and I wanted to upgrade my RAM to 16g so I could play more graphic intense games. This RAM is AMAZING! it was delivered quickly and in perfect condition in the box it was shipped in.Installing this card is incredibly easy. All you need to do is open up the side of your computer and insert it in one of the open RAM slots. My Cyberpower PC has a B360M Extreme ASROCK mother board and has 4 RAM slots. Since I have two sticks (including this item) the mother board advised to place them in 2nd and 4th slot. You literally just insert it into the slot like you would plug in a cell phone charger. It was that simple.The RAM is high quality and my PC runs amazing. No programs or anything to run, you just plug it in and get the benefit of a faster RAM. Would highly recommend as it is affordable and works perfectly!

This RAM works great for me, I have 16GB worth, and a Ryzen 7 2700x. No problems at any point, however there is better value out there. For Ryzen processors (especially the newer generation CPUs), it is recommended to get higher speed RAM, and the main reason I have continued using this RAM specifically is because it was the best value I could find when I initially built my system, with a Ryzen 3 1300x. The prices for good RAM have gone down, and there is better value out there now. Go for a 16GB kit of 8GB sticks, unless you need more or are on a tight budget, and 3000mhz ram is a fair bit faster, and can be found pretty cheap compared to this for those slightly larger amounts. But hey, this stuff works just fine for daily use or gaming, so if this is what you want, go for it.

I purchased one stick of this DDR4 RAM for my gaming rig and from what I have seen, the heatsink looks cool but feels a little cheap. The box came with 2 stickers as other people had mentioned but I didn't use them. The system itself registers that it is there and it works brilliantly. For my system, XMP was disabled by default, not sure if it was from the RAM or the Mobo but it works regardless.Basically, it's cheap and works. If you can find a better deal then get something more name brand but if not, this will do better than nothing. Looks cool too

Bought a stick through Newegg and it failed after a few days of use. Had to RMA. Bought replacement through Amazon for faster shipping. When it works, it works great and stays cool. Never had a memory stick fail on me before, so I'd caution others to have a memory tester on hand if you go with this, in case the computer starts to act up.

I ordered this for the computer our kids use. My son plays on a FiveM GTA roleplay community with us and anytime he was driving you could tell his computer was struggling hard and he would be desyncing horribly. I had assumed it was his computer in general just not being good enough until I watched his system resources and saw it was maxxing out the ram with only 8gb. I ordered this 4gb and we installed it as soon as it came in and the difference was night and day. He is extremely excited to be on the server now as he has always wanted to be a part of the high speed unit (he is a deputy sheriff in our community) but the desync and lag he had always prevented that until now!

Great buy! I bet this comes off the same assembly line as the much more expensive 3000+ rated versions from Patriot, but maybe I just got lucky.... It is very Cheap, yet very good quality (see overclocking results), nice looking, has a black pcb & heatspreader. Overclocked this RAM (2x4GB in dual channel mode) to 2400/2666/2800/3000 with no problem on a Gigabyte z370M DS3H motherboard, which is one of the cheapest z370 boards and paired with i3-8350K @ 4.8Ghz. By the way although it is a good CL14, @ 2133Mhz it can run at CL13. 3000Mhz needed timings of 18 19 19 42 IIRC, I settled on 2800Mhz timings CL16 17 18 38 but you'll have to figure out your own timings. Dont use XMP if you want to set your own custom timings (XMP has only 1 profile and it auto sets RAM at 2133 CL14) if you want to overclock and unless you don't know what you are doing and don't mind running at the base advertised speed of 2133Mhz (1066) CL14 it works fine. For a fast CPU I would recommend overclocking to 2666Mhz at least, so you don't bottleneck data.

I'm a long time G.Skill fan and normally do all of my builds using G.Skill, that was until the prices started floating up higher and higher. 16 Gb on a Ryzen 7 1700x build and 64 Gb on a Ryzen 7 1800x build. Both using ASRock Taichi x 370 motherboards. Typically as with any RAM, easy to install and recognized immediately with Windows 10 x64. Overclocked them just slightly and they're much more stable than G.Skill. Also works with any color scheme. With Aura RGB motherboard software having so many problems I've opted to stay away from the lit and colored RGB RAM and these fit the build perfectly and look great.

I've been running one of these in my OC'd 8700k build for a few weeks now with no issues posting. I just ordered a second module to enable dual-channel memory and future-proofing purposes. Will edit my review if the second module has problems.**Edit** - Second module posted no problem. Memtest64 gave no errors after loading the XMP. One thing I noticed is that the 2666 version of this kit runs at the exact same cas timings and voltage as this 2400 kit. Decided to increase my mem clock speed to 2666, and had no issues posting using the stock voltages and timings. Passed a 1hr test in Memtest64 with 0 errors. My guess is that this is just an underclocked version of the 2666. Save yourself the few extra bucks on the 2666 and just OC this yourself in about 20 seconds.
