Patriot 16GB(2x8GB) Viper III DDR3 1866MHz (PC3 15000) CL10 Desktop Memory with Black Mamba Heatsink

I have an ancient X58 based Core i7-980x that I wanted to bump to 48GB of ram (6x8GB) as the Gulftown memory controller is rated for 48GB. Three of these kits did the trick perfectly and run very well at the built in 1600 timings. I noted about a 4% memory performance improvement versus the circa 2010 4GB DDR3-1600 DIMMs that were original to when I built the machine, which is surprising.Granted, this is now an obsolete memory standard, but if you need quality, relatively performant RAM for a DDR3 system, I don’t think you can do much better.

Bumped up my system from 8gb to 24gb. This pair of Patriots matched perfect with my older Corsair memory. All the speed and timings were auto set to default which is acceptable for my older machine.Well recommended memory.

This DDR3 RAM works like a charm. Fit perfectly in my computer. Well made.

I purchased 32gb of DDR3 SDRAM (4x8gb) and installed it in my old Dell XPS 8500, doubling the 16gb the computer came with. Installation took all of 5 minutes and it was a simple plug and play operation. I like the built in heat sink that is part of each memory stick. Ordered on Saturday, received on Monday. Works great in conjunction with a new 1tb SSD drive. Between the two upgrades, my computer is faster than ever.
