Patriot Viper Fin PC3-15000

Zitat

Patriot has really done themselves proud with their Viper Fin series and the implementation of this version of DDR3-1866 is the one to look out for if you want enthusiast memory with performance to spare. Compared to the original Extreme Performance DDR3-1866 memory we reviewed late last year, the Viper Fin is an improvement in every aspect.

Physically, the Viper Fin heat-spreader provides incredible cooling capabilities that the standard design was unable to provide, something we were genuinely impressed with.

Technically, XMP inclusion ensures that the memory complies with Intel's standards and is more likely to succeed to operate at its rated speeds than the non-XMP Extreme Performance RAM. Of course, XMP only applies if you're using it on a motherboard that supports XMP in the first place. However, from our overclocking tests, we've proven that the memory has loads of bandwidth, pushing 2000MHz with no issues. We were actually a little disappointed that the original Extreme Performance DDR3-1866 was literally running at the very edge of its capabilities before, but overclockers should have a field day with the Viper Fin edition.
