Patriot Viper LED Series DDR4 3000 MHz Memory Review
Packaging
The Patriot Viper LED Series memory comes in an attractive black package. On the top left-hand corner, we see Patriots famous viper head logo. To the right is a sticker that tells you the capacity of the kit. In this case, it’s a 16 GB or a 2 x 8 GB kit of DDR4 PC4-24000 3000 MHz. The sticker also tells us of the color of the LED’s, in this case, RED. Placed in the center of the front is an image of the two sticks of rams. On the bottom left corner is the viper “Gamer Certified” stamp of approval. Next to this stamp is the VIPER LED branding with “Dual Channel DDR4 Technology” printed below.
The rear of the package is where you’ll find the UPC code, as well as the model number of the kit. Also on the rear of the box is the many links to Patriots social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The Patriot Viper LED Series comes with a lifetime warranty. That is clearly stamped on the bottom left-hand corner of the rear of the packaging. Last, the rear of the packaging has this quote, in several languages. “Ultra-Fast DDR4 memory delivers excellent performance for demanding applications and extreme gaming. Custom designed, high-performance heat shielding provides superior thermal protection for best in class stability. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Viper memory offers rock-solid reliability and performance for the most immersive gaming and power productivity.”
The left and right side of the packaging is the same. The both have the Patriot logo printed in the center. The bottom has the addresses and phone numbers of Patriots corporate headquarters, their APAC Sales office and their EMEA Sales office.
The memory modules come packed in a clear, clamshell style plastic package. It’s a hard plastic, and combines with the thick cardboard box, provides plenty of protection during shipping or storage.
That Gigabyte board was the limiting factor. Test these on something like an Asus Apex board and watch them fly.
