The Viper 4 Series DDR4 32GB 3000MHz kit from Patriot Memory is not as flashy as other RGB offerings we have tested from other manufacturers, but comes with a good quality aluminum heat spreader for fast heat dissipation, while using the airflow inside the computer case. 32GB of RAM should be enough for most todays’ games and productivity applications, while most systems should be able to run this kit at the stock speeds without issues, thanks to the pre-programmed XMP 2.0 profile.

Packaging, A Closer Look

In this article we will concentrate our views upon another memory kit from Patriot Memory: the Viper 4 Series DDR4 32GB, comprised of two separate modules, which carry a CAS latency of 16 and were built to function at 3000MHz. The manufacturer has built this product to be compatible with Intel Skylake platforms but also AMD 300 series and the Viper 4 kit does also feature support for XMP 2.0.

 

The kit is shipped inside a slim cardboard enclosure with a small cut-out, so we can take a look how the memory modules do really look; additionally, we can see some of the product highlights on the frontal layer:

 

 

 

On the opposite side, Patriot Memory has included a short product description, in many languages:

Despite the promotional photos which do show a black PCB, the PV432G300C6K kit does ship with a regular green PCB; the modules are not too tall (in order to preserve compatibility with larger CPU heatsinks):

 

 

 

On the opposite module side, we are seeing a small sticker that houses the product code name along with the XMP 2.0 pre-programmed memory timings and stock speed (PC4-24000 C16):

 

 

 

The top aluminum component was designed in order to further assist with cooling, by using the airflow inside our computer case:

 

 

 

It is detachable if we do remove the screws on the sides:
