FEATURED Patriot Viper 3 ( LP ) 2x4GB DDR3-2133 CL11

[Woomack]

On the OCF Patriot memory isn't as popular as some other brands and I bet that some forum members aren't sure what to expect from Patriot newer memory kits.

Since I've received Patriot 2x4GB DDR3-2133 CL11 memory kit for tests then I wish to show something about this kit. Of course if you have any questions about settings then feel free to ask.

Full review is here:

Memory is marked as low profile but it's actually standard DDR3 height. However is lower than regular Viper 3 modules so should be better option if anyone wish to use it with large CPU coolers.


SPD/XMP/AMP

Let's start from profiles programmed by Patriot. As you see on the CPU-Z screenshot, there is also AMP so profile for AMP CPUs. It's quite rare but good that someone is thinking also about AMD users

AIDA64
Standard window without all timings but all is clear and we can see actual memory voltage.



MemTweak IT
Full list of timings taken from XMP1 profile



CPU-Z
At the end CPU-Z which isn't best to read profiles but it shows AMP profile.



Memory kit is based on single sided Hynix MFR modules so as some forum members already know, we can't expect top performance but we can focus on overclocking results.

Here is photo of mentioned Hynix MFR:

Performance on stock

Stock performance isn't bad but we could expect more. All regular users and gamers shouldn't see any special difference between single and double sided memory. All who are overclocking and benching better look at double sided kits like Patriot Viper 2x8GB 2400 CL10 that are also overclocking good.

HyperPi 32M



7-Zip x64



Results were made at 4.2GHz i7 4770K so should be easily comparable for all readers.

Overclocking

Maximum clock achieved on air cooling is ~1500MHz ( DDR3-3000 ) 12-15-15 ~1.85V. This voltage seem high but it still should be safe as absolute maximum for Hynix MFR is 1.975V.



Also list of timings. Probably it's possible to tighten them some more as I focused more on maximum clock than highest possible performance.





2600 12-13-13 1N ~1.65V


2800 12-14-14 1N ~1.75V

Interesting kit...gonna keep my eyes peeled for results.

Yep, quite interesting but I wish it was double sided with the same OC potential.
I didn't make full stability OC tests but 2600-2666 11-13-13 should be possible at reasonable voltages of 1.65-1.70V.

I've added HyperPi 32M results to #3 post. I was slightly wrong, 2600 is stable at CL12 and ~1.65V. 2800 requires 1,75V for full stability at CL12-14-14-34 and CR 1N.

Makes sense why your the top contributor to the ocf bench club.. Nice job

 

[MongGrel]

Interesting to look at, ya.

 

[Woomack]

Thanks guys. There should be one more Hynix MFR based kit test, later this month.

Edit:
added Hynix MFR IC photo to the 1st post
Edit2:
added couple of photos to the 1st post

This is very interesting thank you
