Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200 (4 x 8GB) vs Patriot Viper Steel DDR4

Runs great at 3333mhz Asus Crosshair VII Hero (x470 chipset) with a Ryzen 2700x and the April 2018 firmware. When updated to firmware 804 from late July 2018, machine will crash under heavy usage. Reverted to 0601 and the machine is again rock stable. Update 1 and (I thought) problem solved! As it turns out bios revisions beyond 0601 does some very screwy things with the timings for this ram

** (NOTE: Sometimes the CMOS Battery is located behind the Graphics card.) This will require you to power off your pc so save this review in a screenshot on your phone. Once you have successfully reset the CMOS and have default Bios proceed to step (2) ***DON'T OVERCLOCK YOUR CPU FIRST! START WITH THE RAM!*** 2 - Set BLK frequency to 100 if it is not already set to 100. Make sure you're in DRAM settings and not CPU settings

Now that is at 3600 megahertz of speed and that is the sweet spot of this memory right now. This memory is also available at slower speeds which is th...

Rebooted and straight to desktop at 4400mhz at rated timings. No issues, no hiccups. Ran a few tests. No issues

Coming back to the present, to take a look at the RGB-enabled Patriot Vipersteel RGB DDR4-3200 2x16GB, can we answer the question as to whether RAM is...

Runs reasonably cool, although I haven't stress tested it yet. good looking heat sink/spreaders. Decent color spectrum. Cons: The iCUE software is way too much just to set the colors for this--wish I could control it through the Gigabyte control software

Also, after running my usual tasks on this PC, I found out that 32GB were still an overshoot. My RAM almost never climbed over 14GB utilization, so I'm going for 16GB modules rated for 3200 with C14 (another brand). Unfortunately Corsair does not have those, or if does, at a higher price point than the competitor. So that's that

This product will be best used to upgrade a pre-built or something similar from single channel to dual channel well, and it does that well, but if you're just getting a single ram stick I'd go for 2 4gb sticks or if you can 2 8gb sticks because dual channel runs it way better
