Conclusion
Those familiar with geizhals price comparison tool will discover that offers for 2x8 GB sets of Patriot Viper 3 DDR3-2133 currently start at 127 Euros excluding shipping across the EU. Of course, whether it’s a worthwile purchase depends on the 16 GB offers coming from competitor camps and there are quite a few which might upset the purchase. For a start, we have Team Group 2133C11 and 2400C10 sets, both sporting a lower price tag, courtesy of Caseking. Then there are 2400C11 offers coming from G.Skill, which, as we saw not too long ago, are based on the same Hynix MFR chips and overclock similarly well.
In the end, we can conclude that our previous voyage to the land of Patriot was not a holiday romance; there are other kits in the lineup that are equally attractive. Take these 2133C11 Viper 3 models, for example. You can’t take away from the fact that those are very solid performers, but there are one or two things that spoil the overall experience.
Award
Therefore, we award the 16 GB versions of Viper 3 DDR3-2133 CL11 a rating of
4 stars out of 5.
