Patriot Memory Viper PVS416G320C6K geheugenset (DDR4 DIMM; 2 x 8 GB; 3200 MHz; CL16)

Patriot Memory Viper Steel memory modules are engineered for high performance and compatibility with modern Intel and AMD platforms. The kit includes two DDR4 DIMMs with a total of 16 GB (2 × 8 GB) and operates at 3200 MHz with CAS latency 16. A custom aluminum heat shield provides passive cooling and a low-profile steel-look design suitable for most motherboards, while hand testing and validation help ensure system stability under demanding workloads.

Advantages

The Viper Steel kit delivers a balance of speed and stability through DDR4-3200 operation and CL16 timing, with a 1.35 V operating voltage for improved efficiency. Its aluminum heat spreader aids thermal performance without adding excessive height, and Patriot’s quality control includes hand testing and compatibility validation to reduce installation issues.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktop PCs and workstations for general computing and multitasking
• Gaming systems that require mid-to-high frequency DDR4 memory
• Content creation and productivity applications that benefit from increased memory capacity
• Server or small-scale server builds compatible with unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs

Key specifications

• Total capacity: 16 GB (2 × 8 GB)
• Memory type: DDR4
• Speed: 3200 MHz
• CAS latency: 16
• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.35 V
• Passive aluminum heat shield
• Weight: 0.096 kg (kit)

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installing. Insert each 288-pin DIMM into matching motherboard memory slots according to the motherboard manual, ensuring the module notch aligns with the slot key. Press firmly until the module latches into place. After installation, reconnect power and verify that the BIOS/UEFI recognizes the full 16 GB and that the memory runs at the expected 3200 MHz profile; enable XMP or equivalent memory profile if required.

Recommendations

Install the modules in the recommended dual-channel slots for best performance and, if available, enable the XMP/DOCP profile in BIOS/UEFI to achieve the rated 3200 MHz speed. Ensure motherboard compatibility with unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs and verify adequate case airflow to support passive cooling.
