Performance


Cinebench

Now, while we couldn’t get this memory to run at 4133 MHz, as it’s basically doing so in an overclocked state. We simply could not get it to clock any higher than 4000MHz on our test system, although your mileage may vary of course. I ran it at a speed of 3200 MHz for the stock tests and then at 4000 MHz in our overclocked results, allowing for a more broad comparison with other kits we have tested. Amazingly, even at stock, it was the fastest kit we’ve tested in Cinebench and again in its overclocked state! I’m not going to lose sleep of 133 MHz shy of the XMP, and perhaps a more skilled BIOS tinkerer could squeeze that extra bit out.

AIDA64

The memory transfer speeds are on point too, beating out just about everything with relative ease. What a shocker that is though “Fastest Memory Kit is the Fastest Memory Kit” should have been the title of the review, right?

The latency is pretty decent too, nothing too crazy, but about on par with previous memory kits we’ve tested. Unfortunately, we haven’t had time to test more kits on this new test bench over Christmas, but experience has taught me that the Viper is on track to be one of the best overall anyway.

WPrime

Again, we see the kit excel in this benchmark too, holding onto the fastest WPrime times at both stock and overclocked speeds. Couldn’t be much more black and white than that really.

3DMark Fire Strike

Patriot didn’t take the top spot at 3200 MHZ, but again we see the benefits of faster RAM, as it edges out a small lead on the Aorus, Crucial and Thermaltake kits once overclocked.

PCMark 10 Productivity

It’s not a huge lead, but again, the Viper scored very well in both tests here. It’s only a few points ahead at 3200 MHz, but a full 76 points faster once overclocked. For those using memory intensive applications such as editing software, this is proving to be a great kit.
