Patriot Memory Signature Line Premium DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 2666MHz Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2019-05-26

RAM has decreased quite a bit in price and mainstream kits are now more affordable than ever! The Patriot Memory Signature Line Premium is one of the solid choices you could take into account if you are not interested in RGB kits and are building or upgrading a system with a good price/performance ratio. The kit does not have XMP pre-programmed profiles but is compatible with most platforms and thanks to the low-profile heatspreader you won’t have any issues when using beefier CPU heatsinks or smaller enclosures.

Test Setup and Test Results Part I

Test Setup

CPU: Intel i7 9700K Retail

CPU Cooler: Deepcool Captain 240 EX RGB AIO

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming

RAM: Currently tested kit

Video: KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB

Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W

SSD: OCZ Vector 150

Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840

The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as SpecTek:

From the stock DDR4-2666 19-19-19-43 specs, we tried a bit of overclocking as well: by setting a voltage of 1.35V, we have managed to climb the frequency up to 2933MHz and adjusted the timings to 21-21-21-47 in order to be Memtest stable:

Starting with the JEDEC 2133MHz, we did benchmark the RAM step-by-step up to its stock 2666MHz frequency, in order for you to spot the performance differences. We did also benchmark at the maximum stable frequency of 2933, but because of the increased CAS latencies, only some applications took advantage of the increased bandwidth.
