| Patriot Viper II Sector 5 PC3-12800 2x2GB DDR3 RAM review Whew, time sure flies by. When I pulled up my last Patriot RAM review in preparation for this article today, a quick glance at the date labeled 'November 8, 2008' revealed it has been a good two years already (Mind you -- the Patriot Extreme Performance series memory we tested back in November 2008 was some very good stuff). For as long as I have been a computer enthusiast, this company has been a prominent player in the industry, making its name among computer enthusiasts as a manufacturer of high performance computer memory products. In addition to the usual flash drives, SSDs, and the such, Patriot also has some cool stuff in their collection, such as the Patriot Box Office network media player we took a look at back in February this year. After giving G.SKILL's Ripjaws F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH 2x4GB DDR3 a run through our labs, posting a series of very favorable results on the board a couple of weeks ago, it is now the Patriot Viper II Sector 5 PC3-12800 2x2GB set's turn to step up to the challenge. And what a challenge it is. Retailing at around $80 at press time after mail-in rebate, the Viper II Sector 5 running at DDR3-1600 with 8-8-8-24 latencies is, undeniably, priced very competitively among its peers. As the icing on the cake, Patriot also throws in a copy of Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage benchmarking software as part of the package. If you have been following APH Networks and have read all our reviews from the last two weeks, the benchmark results in our review today should be nothing new to you. But for the stuff that really matters, like what kind of IC Patriot has plugged in behind the Viper II Sector 5's heatsink, and how well it overclocks, this is where we will have you all filled in. Let's jump right in and see what we have found out! http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/patri...c3_12800_2x2gb
