A quote from the article:
Back in the sweet spot for many users, we now have a set of memory with speeds which are more attainable on just about any system running DDR4. In this new series from Patriot, we are shown that there are two choices in LED illumination. Buyers can choose from red LEDs or white LEDs, and these kits range in speeds, with 2400MHz, 2666MHz, 3000MHz, and 3200MHz kits are available with the red LEDs, while the white LED versions omit the 2666MHz option and offer a 3600MHz kit instead. That being said, they all conform to a more standard approach to the XMP 2.0 profile, with voltages ranging from 1.20V on the two lower speed kits, and 1.35V used for the kits at 3000MHz and beyond. Patriot has sent the new Viper LED RAM for us to tinker with and deliver a verdict on it. Specifically, we have the PVL416G3200C6K kit, which boasts a speed of 3200MHz, has timings of 16-18-18-36 2T and uses 1.35V to power the sticks and the LEDs. These limited lifetime guaranteed sticks employ an XMP 2.0 profile, which means they are pretty much plug-and-play in any Intel system utilizing DDR4. Pricing of said kits ranges from just $134.99 for the 2400MHz kits but does break the $200 barrier to obtain the 3200MHz RAM we are going to show you here.
