The well-known memory manufacturer, Patriot has created a new Viper RGB DDR4 line in order to accommodate with the latest trends; these are offered with both black and white heatshields and differ a bit regarding the XMP 2.0 speeds: the black heatshield ones go from 2666MHz up to 4133MHz, while the white ones go only to 3200MHz. One other important thing to mention is that the kits are offered in 16GB dual-channel, but if you need up to 32GB in your mainstream platform, you’ll have to buy two separate kits.
The product is offered in a compact cardboard enclosure that matches the color of the heatspreader; on the frontal area of the box we will be able to spot that this particular kit is compatible with most RGB systems (Gigabyte, ASUS, ASRock, MSI), but also the total quantity of memory and rated speed:
