Not much to say really. Easy to install, as all RAM really is. Came in a relatively sturdy box to keep them safe and with a small Patriot sticker. Only thing I would say though, is that the PCB board is green (or at least was for mine) as the answer to the question above states. However, it is near impossible to see the green once you have the RAM cards installed so I wasn't too concerned when I got mine. They look good too, something a bit different to the likes of Kingston, Corsair and G-Skill. Oh, and they're actually quite low profile relative to the other brands mentioned, so I, at least, could fit them next to my CPU cooler without any problems (Cooler Master Evo 212).

Bought these to use with an MSI 970 gaming motherboard and an AMD FX6300 after my previous Intel board and chip gave up the ghost.They come in a nice easy to open retail packaging and worked first time in my new motherboard, very stable although I have not tried to overclock them and they look quite nice with the black heat spreaders. Talking of heat spreaders these are not the low profile type so if you have a large cooler such as the Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo you may have to mount the cooler vertically so it does not foul the spreaders.All things considered this is great value 1600mhz DDR3 ram that works for me just great.

These were the second cheapest 8GB kit on Amazon when I bought them, I kind of thought I was taking a risk as they aren't the biggest name in memory manufacturers, but I took the plunge.Can't fault them at all, worked out of the box at the stated speeds and are actully very good overclockers, I stuck these in an MSI G45 Gaming MB and they get along just fine.If they drop a few quid I will definately get another set to max out my MB memory channels, you never know when more memory will come in handy when gaming....

In life you pay for what you get and I can tell you guys you pay good money for this memory you get good memory for your money. Brillant stuff! from the moment you install it like Usain Bolt..... its off like a rocket!!! Ive put it through its paces (over clocking) and it is like it was asking me...."is that all you got????"Get this memeory it's every good. Highly recommended if you are looking to upgrade.

I didn't have to wait until the end of the estimated arrival period, which is a plus. I plugged it into my PC and have been using it to run heavy Minecraft Modpacks, which used to take an excessive time to load and then performance was very choppy, and now they take slightly less time to load, my PC is capable of doing other things while I wait, and the game runs smoothly. Just what I was looking for!

Wanting to increase the memory of my computer, I chose memory from the same manufacturer as those already in the machine. I found these Viper memory units fairly easily, ordered them and they arrived in good time. I was not too difficult to fit them, although it took more than one attempt. It now works well and allows me to design more complex models in my design software.

No problems with this after 1 week of moderate usage with ASRock Z87 Extreme4 + i5-4670K.Have not tried overclock/under-time these DDR chips; I expect with this being a 'binned' (tested and rated) product, assigned to the lowest of three available timings in this Viper 3 product line, it won't overclock/under-time far. But it works as specified, which is what counts.

What I ordered. It's an older DDR product so I feel it was a teeny bit overpriced, but again it wasn't too bad. Worked perfectly. I do a lot of pc building and upgrades so I had no issues installing and ensuring the xmp profile (needed to ensure runs at the advised speed) was on.

Nice looking bit of kit, easy and fast to install, keep fairly cool, the ram seems to preform very well and with 8gb can keep up with most applications, if you're looking to video edit/photo edit or dual screen with them I would recommend getting 2 lots or going to the2X 8GB

Good RAM and worked out of the box. But possibly the same issue as almost any RAM, if it goes wrong, which it hasn't, how does a UK purchaser call on a "lifetime warranty" in any practical way?Like I said, it worked, and hasn't gone wrong. And nice metal heatsink thingies!

had it OC'd @ 1800mhz, undervolted. works perfectly in my setup: MSI z87-g41 + i5 4670k. 16gb performed brilliantly during android build tests and results showed a 5-10% speed increase when overclocking to 1800mhz

I have been using the same RAM in my gaming pc for a long time now, something like a year, they have nothing wrong with them and I have never had any issues in the past. They are efficient at their job.

Works perfectly. I was a little worried the heat spreader might stop me fitting these as the slots I put them in seemed very close together however they went in with room to spare (but not much).

Was looking for ram for my new build kit, and considered 8gb from Corsair, but for £20 more I got double. Probably overkill as most games use 4gb ram, but it leaves the pc a little future proof.

A year on and this memory is still performing well. Absolutely no issues with it to date. I am looking for more memory currently, and will certainly buy Patriot if the price is right.
