Viper Elite II 8GB DDR4 2666 Module

This Patriot Viper Elite II module is an 8 GB DDR4 desktop memory stick running at 2666 MT/s with CL16 latency. It uses a 288-pin unbuffered design and operates at the standard 1.20 V. A red aluminium heatspreader helps manage thermals during sustained workloads.

Suits mainstream Intel

The module targets users upgrading or assembling standard desktops for gaming, content creation or productivity who want XMP 2.0 simplicity. It is not ECC or registered, so it will not fit servers or workstations requiring those features. Buyers needing multi-stick kits or higher frequencies should consider other options.

2666 MT/s DDR4 speed with CL16 timing

The decisive specification is the DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) rating combined with 16-17-17-36 timings at 1.20 V. This determines whether the module matches your motherboard's supported memory speed and latency requirements. Verify your platform's qualified vendor list before purchasing.
