Conclusion

Looking up the EU prices for 8 GB kits of Viper 3 series via geizhals, we see that both Black Mamba and Venom Red can be had starting from 75 Euros + shipping. Strictly speaking, this is not the best price offer for DDR3-2400 CL10 rated memory out there but if Patriot are able to remain consistent with use of Hynix chips then the Vipers should definitely be taken seriously by anyone browsing the surrounding memory market.
What we have in the end is another strong upper midrange product. There is nothing seriously wrong with the DDR3-2400 version of Viper 3; the only thing we managed to come up with a valid complaint about is the PCB color. Moreover, Patriot’s unorthodox selection of memory chips provided lots of positive emotions during the overclocking part of our testing, which is exactly the thing we are seeking for being an overclockaholic website.

Award

As a result, the 2x4 GB Patriot Viper 3 DDR3-2400 CL10 memory deservedly gets our maximum rating of 5 stars out of possible 5.
