Patriot Viper 16GB 3000MHz RGB White DDR4 Review

Performance

Cinebench

At stock speeds, the Viper performed well enough, sure it’s at the bottom of the chart, but it’s within the safe zone for a kit of this speed and about on par with the rival hardware. Overclocking to a staggering 4000 MHz, the highest speed we’ve hit since we refreshed our testing, the Viper took third place behind the Geil and Crucial kits.

AIDA64

Even at stock clocks, the Viper delivered our second highest read speeds. However, overclocking saw some impressive gains of around 3000 Mbps read and around 7000 Mbps write.

Latency at stock was the lowest we’ve had to date, clocking an impressive 49.6ms. Overclocking pushed that up to 50.1, but still saw overall performance improve quite a bit regardless.

WPrime

Again, pretty good WPrime performance too, not the fastest, but certainly not the slowest.

3DMark Fire Strike

Even the 3DMark performance was going strong, holding onto second place at stock and third while overclocked. Pushing up to 4000 MHz improved the score of 22238 to 22271.

PCMark 10 Productivity

Finally, the Viper ends on a high note, taking first place in both stock and overclocked benchmarks for productivity testing.
