Viper Steel 8GB DDR4 3200

The Patriot Viper Steel PVS48G320C6 is an 8 GB unbuffered DDR4 UDIMM rated for 3200 MT/s at CL16 with 1.35 V operation. It targets desktop builders who need a single stick for gaming rigs or workstations running current Intel and AMD platforms.

Aluminum heat spreader and validated timings

A custom aluminium heat shield covers the module in gunmetal grey with a diamond-cut logo, moving heat away from the ICs during sustained loads. Factory-programmed timings of 16-18-18-36 are hand-tested and validated so the board can train at the advertised speed without manual adjustment.

Standard UDIMM installation

The stick fits any desktop DDR4 slot keyed for 288-pin unbuffered memory; no extra cables, drivers or software are required. Clearance issues only arise when oversized CPU coolers overhang the first slot, so check cooler dimensions before seating the module.
