Patriot Viper Steel
With a single 16GB module running at 3200 MT/s and CL16 timings, this kit offers a straightforward path to 32GB or 64GB configurations without discarding existing sticks. The gunmetal grey Viper Steel heat spreader provides effective thermal management without excessive height, ensuring compatibility with large air coolers. It’s best for budget-conscious system builders who need reliable, XMP-ready DDR4 performance and want to preserve open DIMM slots for future upgrades.
