welcome to my unboxing of the Patriot division 2 Viper extreme
0:12
DDR3 gaming memory with unrivaled
0:15
performance hold on got to take the package off cuz Slick's all like oh no
0:20
the package is shiny and then the lights will reflect be bad um so basically this
0:26
is an 8 gig memory kit that runs at 2.4 gigz yes we are getting up to the point
0:31
where desktop memory is like as fast as
0:35
video card memory was not that long ago which is pretty C if you ask me so
0:40
Patriots Viper extreme division 2 Series memory kits are designed for Intel's
0:44
well they say second generation core processors but I actually don't buy that
0:48
because really this kind of frequency is not um not necessarily as easily
0:53
achievable on a Sandy Bridge processor as it is on the new ivybridge processor
0:57
so all of a sudden these high-speed memory kits with new z77 boards and IV
1:01
Bridge processors are going to become a lot more interesting because you can
1:06
pretty much effortlessly set them up on an Ivy Ridge platform so you can see
1:10
here we've got copper spreaders on the
1:13
bottom okay here you can kind of yeah there you can see the copper spreader
1:17
that goes over the RAM chips itself can you see it not really okay well it's in
1:20
there um and then connected to the Copper spreaders you've got aluminum
1:25
heat shields that uh also spread Heat and help to
1:30
dissipate heat from the memory um I mean honestly I don't know how much of a
1:34
factor it is this is only 1.65 volt memory and unless you're going really
1:37
crazy on it it probably doesn't you know need the 8 lbs of copper and aluminum
1:42
that's attached to it but they look pretty badass and so we're going to go
1:46
ahead and install these in one of our z77 boards and see how it
1:50
goes so here's my ivybridge test platform this is with a 4 something 4.6
1:57
GHz 3770k and my standard testing Kingston
2:01
hyperx DDR 3600 so what I'm going to do
2:04
is I'm going to see just how you know
2:07
plug and play this new 2.4 GHz memory
2:11
from Patriot is so the full specs are
2:14
him to 2400 MHz and then the latencies
2:18
are 11 11130 it's an 8 gig kit running at 1.65
2:23
volts here we go there it is installed
2:27
all we had to do was enable the XMP profile and there are the settings that
2:31
are promised on the package there's the
2:35
oh look there's the memory running in the system looks pretty balling out so
2:39
let's see if we actually you know what let's do this in real time okay so
2:43
motherboard settings save and exit save changes and reboot yes so let's find out
2:48
if it works together how easy is it we
2:52
will soon know when the computer boots up and let's see how long lonus can keep
2:57
talking about nothing while he waits for computer to boot it's a good thing it
3:01
has an SSD because oh incidentally also a patriot SSD that's a wildfire in there
3:06
one of the fastest ssds out there still
3:09
booting up right it's a good thing it has an SSD
3:13
because that means I don't have to kill quite as much time it's also a good thing this motherboard has a really fast
3:17
post you guys see that splash screen done starting Windows ready to go
3:22
although this is a very beat up copy of Windows in the sense that it has like a
3:26
billion different drivers on it and a ton of different utilities and startup
3:30
nonsense however it should still boot reasonably
3:34
quickly there we go let's see if it
3:39
worked so if you're really committed to
3:42
running high frequency memory then it looks like Ivy bridge is pretty simple
3:46
to do it on as long as you buy high frequency memory thank you for checking
3:49
out this unboxing and test of Patriots
3:54
Viper 2 extreme division 2 or Viper
3:58
extreme division 2 2400 MHz DDR3 RAM

4:07
YouTube let's see how long they keep watching
4:11
this Slick's laughing in the background not sure if you can hear that or
4:16

4:21
