Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3,- any good?

[Frakk]

Are these good or not?

Or what would you recommend? (needs to be the lower profile to fit under my cooler)

Don't know much about these new kits but here is a review on the 2x4gb 2133 kit...

if you can't wait then here are 2 kits that have almost the same timings and should be on the same IC ( I'm not 100% sure but looks like all are Hynix ):
Corsair Vengeance LP 2133 11-11-11 1.50V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233327
Geil Leggara 2133 11-11-11 1.50V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144639

if it's for AMD then I would take one of these :

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148555
and set them @1600 7-7-7 ~1.55-1.60V or @1866 8-8-8 1.55-1.60V

Looks like those are Samsung, at least the kit Newegg chose to take a picture of Ver4.1x = Samsung 2Gbit IC.

You are right, I didn't check that Other new Geil series and Patriots were on Hynix and I just wasn't sure about these Corsairs as timings are the same and most Samsungs 2133+ are 1.65V.

I'm sort of bored with the usual (Corsair, ect.....)

I'm going to be planting these along side a Piledriver chip (unless its Bulldozer episode 2)

They can handle 1866Mhz stock and 4 channels.

For now i'm just looking to run them on the Thuban at 1600Mhz and as tighter timings i can get for not silly money.

I might also have to turn my CPU cooler the normal way anyway, even the small extension on the Patriot Vipers is to tall, The cooler is so wide it over hangs the first 2 DIMM's, there is like a 5mm gap on my low profile sticks now.

So i'm going to have to turn it facing front / back instead of down / up. (don't like it like that)

So what about these? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-121-GL

In a different colour, hopefully

You can try Geil Veloce 2133 C10 ( about the same as Corsa 2133 CL10 ), review should be published in this week on OCF , some tests here http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=712947
It actually made 2600 CL11-13-12-34 1N 1.65V stable on my rig.
Both Corsa and Veloce have tall HS. Low profile series are only Geil Leggera but I can't see them available yet.
As I said best sticks for AMD from LP series are now Crucial Ballistix http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-143-CR
Maybe won't make much above 2000 but can make 1600-1866 on tightest available timings on market ( and low voltage ). Also available with blue/orange and green/red LEDs ... I have almost the same RAM in my brother's rig - Crucial Elite 1600 @ 1866 8-8-8-24 1.55V and I also checked that 4 sticks are running at the same settings ( friend got 2 of them ).

Alright, thanks again. i have a better idea of what to get now, the Crucial Ballistix will be added to my short list.

"irradiated" not exactly, what it looks like, is radioactive vomit....

Not having anything like that lowering the tone of my nicely uniformed and polite rig
