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.
