Viper Steel 16GB DDR4 kit

This Patriot Viper Steel kit provides 16GB of DDR4 memory across two 8GB modules. It is built for desktop systems that need reliable capacity for gaming or heavy multitasking. The gunmetal grey heat spreader gives a clean look inside any build.

Sustained load stability at 3600 MT/s

Rated at DDR4 3600 with timings of 18-22-22-42 and a CAS latency of CL18, the modules run at 1.35V. The aluminum heat shield is thermally optimised to maintain performance during extended sessions. Hand testing and validation aim to deliver robust stability under continuous load.

Simple XMP 2.0 setup on Intel and AMD

Installation uses standard 288-pin DDR4 slots with Intel XMP 2.0 support for automatic configuration. Compatibility is validated for current Intel and AMD platforms. The main issues arise when XMP is not enabled in BIOS or when mixing with kits of different speed or timing.
