now if you go on the Patriot website they have a lot of different series of
RAM tons and tons of different series have G2 and sector and Sector 5 and
sector 7 and different numbers they have all these different kinds of rams and
Vipers and Gamers and why that is the
question that is the question I'm asking and that is the question that I'm also
going to answer the reason is that their different
series of RAM are optimized for different platforms so right here I have
the Patriot memory G2 series now this is kind of a sort of a value performance
memory so you don't have you know super fancy heat spreaders you don't have that
kind of stuff going on but what you do have is decent spec okay in this case
this is a PC3 uh sorry PC3
1280 but the DDR3 1600 MHz so this is a
dual Channel kit and it is designed for the Intel 6 series platform so that is
another thing that you get by going with an optimized kit so this is optimized
for the 6 series platform that means you can use it with p-55 just like you can
use their p55 optimized memory with a p67 board or with a z68 board but you
might not get the same level of compatibility that you do if you use the
correct RAM with the correct platform so inside we find another retail package
look at this this has a hanger on it how is the retail
supposed to know that there's a hanger
inside fascinating you know what's cool about Patriot actually I was on a trip
down into California um a couple weeks
ago and I got to see the Patriot facility in in California and they have
actual smt machines in their office
where they were producing memory dims right there in the USA go figure right I
had no idea they're actually one of the few memory manufacturers so they don't
manufacture the chips that are under the spreader so they're not a Samsung or or
a micron but they do actually
manufacture modules in the United States
still they have more manufacturing facilities overseas but it was pretty
cool you got to like like it was just open and there's like a like a line that
goes along and then it goes puts all the components on it and then it goes
through the oven you can actually just like stand there and watch it very very cool anyway this is the G2 Series so
right here you see we've got a fairly standard Fair heat spreader on there all
right this is a DDR3 memory module it is dual Channel as I mentioned before in
terms of latencies these are not too super aggressive by any stretch so 1600
MHz 99920 run at 1.65 volts so these
aren't a super low voltage kit either but they are definitely suitable for
Intel core I3 Core i5 and core i7
processors on LG 1155 so that is your
h61 h67 p67 and z68 motherboards thank
