Page 10 - Overclocking and Conclusion
With our third look in the Patriot Viper RGB lineup, we can come to a lot of the same conclusions that we did in the past. For one, this is a gamer-focused memory kit with its styling of the heatspreaders and full RGB lighting for illuminating your PC from the inside. The white aluminum heatspreader makes its appearance this time around, but the same silver snake head logo and Viper branding also enforce this gamer-centric focus. However, we have the same quality Samsung chips with even higher frequencies at decent latency timings. In terms of performance, the higher frequency DDR4-4133 may not always reflect the best performance in our benchmarks, but there are definitely other factors that affect these numbers. When it comes to overclocking, it is clear we can continue to push these chips even further. With latency timings slightly relaxed, we were able to get up to DDR4-4333, which represents a 4.8% increase. While it may not sound like a whole lot, this is pretty impressive considering its stock XMP/DOCP profile is already pushing these chips pretty fast. This overclock is Prime95 stable, as shown in our screenshot above. With a reliable brand, lifetime warranty, solid set of B-die Samsung chips, and gaming looks, it is no surprise Patriot can continue to push out these kits. At a retail price of $135 USD, this kit is priced competitively for memory operating at this speed and RGB lighting. Once again, Patriot has pushed their Viper RGB to a new limit, and their White DDR4-4133 is another well-performing kit for those looking for the last speed boost before DDR5 memory kits start showing up.
Patriot provided this product to APH Networks for the purpose of evaluation.
Since April 30, 2007, Number Ratings have been dropped for all CPUs, motherboards, RAM, SSD/HDDs, and graphics cards. This is to ensure the most appropriate ratings are reflected without the inherent limits of using numbers. Everything else will continue using the Number Rating System.

The fastest rendition of the Patriot Viper RGB White DDR4-4133 is a memory kit that provides both flash and dash in looks and performance.
