Closer Look

Sold in a plastic tray put inside a cardboard box, the memory is protected well enough to survive any handling on the way to a potential customer.



The matte black heatspreaders would be a welcome sight in a build of almost any theme but, unfortunately, the standard green PCB lets things down on the styling front.



Keeping things simple, Patriot have gone for the standard affair of sheet aluminium plates held on the modules via a strap of thermal tape to be kept responsible for cooling. While this is not the most efficient option possible, it should definitely keep the price low since it used on all other submodifications of Viper 3 as well.




With modules being 4 GB and single-sided, we expected to see commonly-used Samsung 4Gbit revision B but what we actually found under the heatspreaders is Hynix 4Gbit MFR.



The SPD on Patriot 2400C10 features basic information on the maker and the model of the memory. It is also flashed with seven JEDEC profiles and an XMP that are meant to make life easier when it comes to making memory work out of the box.
