Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB vs Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3600

When it comes to performance testing of these superfast DDR4 modules, I have to say it feels a bit unnecessary as when it comes to real-world impact, ...

Oh, and all the tests were run with the rest of the clocks running in a 1-to-1 configuration. So, let's get into it. Now, as more and more numbers sta...

TLDR; 50% of my 4 sticks work. My recommendation would be to spend a little more and find a different vendor if you need high clock high density sticks and avoid the 6+ hour headache hardware revision I just dealt with. Got these because they were on QVL., had a BSOD (GSOD now I guess?) with memory error reference within the first few hours so started digging a bit more

Ever have a problem? Speak to Patriot, send them back, you get new ones. The Steel Series kits are available in a massive variety of speeds and capaci...

my last go with Corsair RAM. Hopefully the replacement sticks will have zero issues, and they can live out there day's in this system. Dominator series RAM is supposed to be top notch Corsair, you truly have missed the mark

So in terms of my board, since it's a B260, it doesn't really support 3600MHz RAM. For the lighting, it's quite bright I would say compared to most RA...

With my current cooling configuration my RAM temps never exceed 60°C during gaming, infact they hardly break a sweat running at 56- 57°C under load (keep in mind this is with all 4 RAM slots filled on my mobo). I'm a sucker for RGB and I'm a sucker for performance, this set of 4x8 sticks gave my system a much needed boost in performance as I no longer have stuttering/framerate issues while streaming games to twitch using shadowplay or OBS. In addition to that, while most games don't typically rely heavily on CPU or RAM speed, I have seen a nice boost of up to 20 frames in games like Battlefield 5 which does benifit from faster ram speeds. I was originally getting 40-50 fps on high/ultra settings with the 2400 MHz set I had, now I'm getting 60-70 fps (high/ultra) without CPU or GPU OCs

At the XMP rated 3600 Mhz speed, memory test fails and Windows crashes with BSOD. The only stable speed was 3200 Mhz with poor latency (XMP profile for 3200 has tighter latency) NOT Recommended. I would never buy another Patriot product. They sell a 3200 part as 3600

Do I keep the LED RAM, or do I give the radiator full roof access? If this is just the regular standard for non-cheapo RAM, then it's my stupidness for not getting a bigger case. Or figuring out how to do my own water cooling.

125 something. Had a High fan curve to ensure cooling. I was able to eventually get the RAM stable at 3600 mhz with 16-16-20-20-32 with 1.45 volts

Currently working to time this kit out, but I'm really saddened that I had to go through all of this for a bit more aesthetic at a premium price. So, let this be a bit of a warning..

The price I paid. 6. Worked fine on my fine MSI Z570 Gaming Edge WIFI motherboard with an April 2020 BIOS update. Cons, 1
