Patriot Memory Unveils Viper 4 Blackout in DDR4-4133, DDR4-4266, and DDR4-4400
Patriot Memory today unveiled new high-frequency variants of its Viper 4 Blackout memory modules which debuted in May 2020. At the time, the Viper 4 Blackout series came in frequency based variants of up to DDR4-3600. Today, Patriot is introducing new DDR4-4133, DDR4-4266, and DDR4-4400 variants, all of which are in 16 GB (2x 8 GB) dual-channel kits. These modules use binned memory chips, and a 10-layer PCB for better signalling. Patriot has tested the hits to offer their advertised frequencies on both Intel Core and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen platforms.
The DDR4-4133 variant (PVB416G413C8K) achieves its advertised speeds at 18-22-22-42 timings, and 1.4 V. The DDR4-4266 variant (PVB416G426C8K) ticks at 18-26-26-46 timings, and 1.45 V. The top-spec DDR4-4400 variant (PVB416G440C8K) was tested with the same 18-26-26-46 timings as the DDR4-4266 variant, but with 1.5 V module voltage. All three variants are backed by limited lifetime warranty. The company didn't reveal pricing.

However, alot of the recently announced coolers are being made specifically with higher clearance on the pipes & fins to avoid this, so there may be hope after all :)
But as with all high end G.Skill modules availability is scarce. I've been keeping an eye on the 3800 CL14 and this comes and goes when it comes to availablity. Never staying in stock for long.
That being said Micron has some pretty nice E-Die based options coming.
