Patriot Viper 3 DDR3 RAM 16GB (2X8GB) 1600MHz CL9 Desktop Memory

It works great so far. My pc is definitely faster.

Product as described and shipped quickly

Purchased as a life extending upgrade for my 3 year old PC. This and a solid state drive have renewed the speed of my machine. Upgraded RAM from 8Gb to 16Gb.The heat-sync fins are a great idea...but mandated a reconfiguration of the CPU cooler to change it orientation. The cooler was originally installed so that its body was over the RAM slots....not an issue until the upgrade. All the same, it was an easy fix....and I was back up and running in no time.Since I run several LARGE Excel spreadsheets, and a couple of AutoCAD drawings at any given time, along with the usual suite of MS Office products, the extra memory was a definite bonus to performance.

I purchased two of these memory kits for an older Shuttle SH67H PC with an Intel i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz and they fit and perform very well. Overall a very good value for a trusted name.

what I needed

I used this to upgrade an 8+ year-old PC from 8GB to 16GB, running Windows 10. NICE and noticeable bump in performance, not only from the perspective of the added RAM capacity, but also the CL9 latency was a 28.5% speed improvement over the CL12 of the previous RAM. My SSD 'felt faster' due to improved caching via Samsung Magician "Rapid Mode", and everything was just better. I am a bit of power user, even if I'm running an 8yo PC.24+ hours in, system has been perfectly stable, no issues with RAM. Patriot is a brand I trust, based on prior experience with their products.Features Rating info:Easy to install - 5 stars, but I'm an experienced PC tech. Doing this yourself is easy enough, if you know about things like static electricity, dust, and 'other'. If you don't know how to upgrade RAM, find some YouTube videos about it.For gaming - Yes, I am a gamer. Things will run faster because of the extra RAM. For FUN, I did create a RAMDISK (4 GB), and loaded the notoriously slow (beautiful otherwise) game GOTHIC 3 (2006) onto the RAMDISK. Teleporting, and other things were SUPER FAST AND SMOOTH!!Value for money - 2 stars might be generous. PC3-12800 RAM is somewhat outdated, especially for gaming PCs. It should not be priced where it is right now ($67.99), and really should be down around the $39.99/$49.99 price point. I probably should've bought faster DDR3 RAM, used it for now, then moved it to a semi-newer PC in the future.Personal note: I AM due for a new PC, just been holding off, just a bit too long due to Covid-19. Stay healthy, folks!

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.

works as it should .this was added to my 2 empty mem slots and it booted up just fine the first time.Different brand than my other but slot and speed are the same , timing was different but it works well.Passed a 1 hr Mem test program with zero issues .

5/5 - 100%. I initially had doubts seeing this low price for 9-9-9-24. However, no issues so far and memtest86 shows 0 errors after 4 cycles (almost 3 hours). See images attached to this comment.Friendly advice - make sure the memory your are buying fits your computer and is compatible with it, this will save you some some and nerves. Things to check:- DDR GenerationThe RAM's DDR generation (e.g., DDR4, DDR5, DDR3) must match the motherboard's supported generation; you cannot put DDR5 RAM into a DDR4 motherboard or vice versa.- Form FactorDesktop PCs use DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) RAM, while laptops use the smaller SO-DIMM (Small Outline DIMM) form factor. A DIMM stick will not fit in a laptop's SO-DIMM slot, and vice versa.- Motherboard SpecificationsCheck the motherboard's manual for the number of memory slots and the supported memory configurations (e.g., single, dual, quad-channel).- Speed and TimingThe RAM's speed (MHz or MT/s) and latency (CL) should be compatible with the motherboard and CPU. While many motherboards can run RAM at a default slower speed, their compatibility is crucial for reaching the RAM's advertised performance.- CPU CompatibilityThe CPU works closely with the RAM, so they must be compatible. Check the motherboard's specifications for the CPU it supports, and then select RAM compatible with both.- Physical ClearanceLarge, tall CPU coolers may physically block RAM slots, preventing the installation of RAM with tall heat spreaders. Measure the available space or check specifications to ensure no interference.

Worked perfectly

Çok iyi.

For the price it was really good.. I was able to overclock it to 7-7-7-20.. The performance made my old pc run faster and was able to multi-task. I don't do gaming due to time constraints and work, but judging from the state of my pc, it will still last long and run the latest softwares with ease.
