Introduction:
Patriot is definitely a powerhouse contender in the RAM world. With the release of Intel’s new unlocked processors, Patriot stepped up their game too. Introducing the Viper II Sector 5 edition. This is the same ram that helped Patriot make the world record during Computex 2010 for overclocking. We hope to show you if the Viper II Sector 5 can help unlock your system’s potential.
4Gb 2400mhz Kit
Patriot’s Take:
“The Patriot Viper II Series, ‘Sector 5’ Edition, part of the Extreme Performance (EP) Enhanced Latency line, is the ultimate performance memory solution for the Intel® P55 system platform. The Viper II Series, ‘Sector 5 Edition is built using only the highest quality pre-sorted IC’s available and are subjected to rigorous testing and validation on the P55 platform to achieve optimized performance and maximum quality. These modules are engineered to reach PC3-19200 (2400MHz) at 9-11-9-27 timings and are available in 4GB kit capacity. Each module is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and is backed by a full lifetime warranty and industry leading customer service.”
Were going to put this hand-tested kit through its paces using industry standard memory testing software on the following specifications:
- Intel Core I5 750
- Windows 7
- Jetway H106 motherboard
- Seagate Barracuda 7200
Let’s see if it holds up.
Packaging:
Exterior of Box |
Interior blister pack |
Patriot doesn’t take any chances when they pack their performance ram. The anti-static blister pack is shipped inside a laminated cardboard box.
A closer look:
The heat spreaders are nearly Identical to the Viper II ram
I was pleased the spreaders matched my heatsink. Red is a common color within cases and it never hurts to match.
