16 GB DDR4 3200 Module for Gaming Builds

The Patriot Viper Steel RGB PVSR416G320C8 is a 16 GB unbuffered DIMM running at DDR4 3200 with CL18 18-22-22-42 timings at 1.35 V. It targets gamers and content creators who want a single high-capacity stick with XMP 2.0 automatic overclocking and addressable RGB lighting. The black aluminium heat spreader carries a gold Viper logo for visual flair.

Build Integration and Clearance

The 288-pin DDR4 form factor fits any desktop board with matching slots and XMP 2.0 support in the BIOS. A single 16 GB module leaves three slots free on a typical four-slot board, making future capacity upgrades straightforward. The low-profile aluminium spreader keeps thermals in check without blocking large CPU coolers or restricting airflow around the socket area.

RGB Enthusiasts Seeking One-Stick Simplicity

Builders who synchronise lighting through ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock Polychrome, MSI Mystic Light or Gigabyte RGB Fusion will appreciate the native compatibility. Users needing ECC error correction, registered buffering or voltages below 1.35 V should look elsewhere, as this kit is strictly non-ECC unbuffered. Buyers wanting a matched multi-stick kit out of the box will need to purchase additional identical modules separately.

Questions about this item

Will this single 16 GB DDR4-3200 module run at its rated speed without manual BIOS changes?

Yes, the module includes an Intel XMP 2.0 profile that sets DDR4-3200 at CL18 18-22-22-42 and 1.35 V automatically when XMP is enabled in the BIOS.

Does the RGB lighting work with my motherboard's control software?

The RGB LEDs are compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock Polychrome, MSI Mystic Light and Gigabyte RGB Fusion, so you can control colours and effects from those utilities.

What clearance does the aluminum heat spreader need above the DIMM slot?

The Viper Steel RGB heat spreader adds height over a standard DIMM; verify your CPU cooler or case spec sheet lists enough DIMM clearance for tall modules before installing.
