Patriot Memory were nice and supplied us with a memory kit in order to test along with our Z170 platform; to be more specific, the model we have received is the Viper 4 DDR4-2400MHz 16GB, which consists of four sticks of 4GB each. As it says on the box, they were originally meant for the Intel X99 platform and do support the XMP 2.0 standard. On the top area of the packaging, we will get to see the speed rating of the product along with the total capacity:

On the back side of the packaging we will get to see a small product description along with the product code name:

The four RAM sticks are available inside in blister packaging, two-by-two:

By having a closer look, we will discover that each stick comes with a black PCB and heatsinks on both sides; the modules are not very tall, which helps with compatibility when installing large heatsinks; speaking of heatsinks, the modules have a top red aluminum component attached in order to further help with heat dissipation:

If we turn the module on the opposite side, we will get to see a small sticker which houses the product code name along with the pre-programmed memory timings and stock speed (2400MHz 15-15-15-35):

The top aluminum components are held with two screws:

These can be easily removed in order to transform the kit into a low profile set:

Besides the actual product we will also receive a nice case badge:
