Viper Elite II DDR4 3200 16GB

This Patriot Viper Elite II module delivers 16GB of DDR4 memory at 3200MHz with CL18 latency. It uses a 288-pin unbuffered design and runs at 1.35V. A red aluminum heatshield manages thermals during heavy workloads. Intel XMP 2.0 support allows simple one-click configuration.

Ideal for gaming and content creation builds

The single 16GB stick suits users who want high capacity per slot on Intel or AMD platforms. Builders needing lower latency or multi-channel kits should evaluate other options. Systems limited to speeds below 3200MHz will not use the full rated frequency. ECC and registered memory are not supported by this module.

CL18 18-22-22-42 timing at 1.35V

The rated timings of 18-22-22-42 at CL18 define the module's responsiveness under load. This latency profile balances speed and stability for desktop workloads. Verify that your motherboard and CPU memory controller can run DDR4 at 3200MHz with these timings. Matching this spec ensures the expected performance level.

Questions about this item

Will this 288-pin DDR4 module fit my motherboard's memory slots?

The stick uses the standard 288-pin DDR4 form factor, so it fits any desktop board with DDR4 slots.

Do I need to enable XMP 2.0 in the BIOS to reach the rated 3200 speed?

Yes, the module ships with an Intel XMP 2.0 profile; enable it in BIOS to run at 3200 MHz with CL18 timings.

Can I add this single 16 GB stick alongside my existing 8 GB modules?

Mixing capacities works, but the system will run all modules at the speed and timings of the slowest stick.
