The revised Viper 4 version with black PCB looks considerably better than the initial one which sported a green one and now also matches the heatsink color scheme; also, if you do have a black/red color scheme on your motherboard, this kit will fit right in. While the model we have tested is not the fastest out there, for tasks which not include encoding and rendering and mostly office work or gaming, the Viper 4 16GB 2400MHz should perform wonderfully.

With the arrival of the Z170 platform and X99, most hardware enthusiasts were forced to leave their favorite DDR3 memory kits behind and adopt the new standard; we really hope that more and more people will upgrade to the new technology, this way increasing current DDR4 sales and hopefully the prices will drop even more.

Despite the lower stock speed, we found these modules being able to climb up to 2666MHz, while keeping the stock timings; on our platform, we only needed to increase the stock voltage to 1.35V which should be safe for a 24/7 operation; despite the increased voltage in the overclocking environment, the modules continued to operate at a very low temperature.

The Patriot Memory Viper 4 Series DDR4 16GB 2400MHz Memory Kit can be found online for about 154 Euros.
