The tested Viper Steel RGB DDR4-3600 is available as a 64GB memory kit, two 32GB memory modules. We could see Hynix IC under the heatsinks in our previous reviews with 64GB DDR4-3600 Patriot Viper memory kits. In this case, Patriot decided to use Micron IC. I can’t precisely tell you what IC is there. Memory chips are rebranded, and the software can’t see the whole IC part number. The IC looks more like something from the new E-die, which we could see in the HyperX Fury a couple of days ago.
The memory has one XMP profile:
- XMP#1 DDR4-3600 20-26-26-46 1.35V
This profile should work on most available motherboards, even these with lower chipsets or not designed for overclocking. It’s also one of the reasons why this memory has been released at such relaxed timings. It simply has to be compatible with every popular motherboard. I’m not sure if it’s not too relaxed for DDR4-3600 as it may affect sales.
For sure, the memory causes no problems during tests. The XMP works without issues on ASUS and MSI motherboards with B550 and X570 chipsets.
CPU-Z is showing the mentioned Micron IC. It doesn’t matter what IC is in use for most users, as long as it’s fast and stable. Micron is known for higher compatibility than other IC but, on the other hand, also more relaxed sub-timings. Performance tests will tell us some more, but first, we will take a closer look at the product and the package contents.
