Patriot is glad to announce a new series of RAM modules. The Viper LED is an innovative lineup of dual-channel units, encased in bright clothing with white or red LED backlight. The white-designed models are introduced in 16 GB kits (2x 8 GB) with clock frequencies ranging from 2400 MHz up to 3600 MHz. In their turn, the red-designed modules are represented by 8 GB or 16 GB kits with 2400/2666/3000 MHz clock frequencies.




All Viper LED new-comers are based on 10-layer PCBs, employing top-standard memory chips. The modules are cooled down with the help of a low-profile aluminum heatsink. It should be noted that these items are targeted motherboards on Intel 100/200/300 & AMD 300 chipsets; thus, they are compatible with Intel Skylake/CoffeLake/KabyLake & AMD Ryzen processor families.


Moreover, the Viper LED come equipped with Intel XMP 2.0 technology which enables an instant activation of BIOS work settings without the need to custom timings or additional parameters.
