2012-05-27
welcome to my unboxing of a patriot division 2 viper extreme ddr3 gaming memory with unrivaled performance hold on take the package off this Slick's all like shiny then the lights will reflect so basically this is an 8 gig memory kit that runs at 2.4 gigahertz yes we are getting up to the point where desktop memory is like as fast as video card memory was not that long ago which is pretty cool if you ask me so Patriots Viper extreme division two series memory kits are designed for Intel small they say second generation Core processors but I actually don't buy that because really this kind of frequency is not not necessarily as easily achievable on a Sandy Bridge processor as it is on the new Ivy Bridge processor so all of a sudden these high speed memory kits with new z77 boards and Ivy Bridge processors are going to become a lot more interesting because you can pretty much effortlessly set them up on an Ivy Bridge platform so you can see here we've got copper spreaders on the bottom okay here you can kind of yeah there you can see the copper spreader that goes over the RAM chips itself can you see it not really okay what's in there and then connect it to the copper spreaders you've got aluminum heat shields that also spread heat and help to dissipate heat from the memory I mean honestly I don't know how much of a factor it is this is only one point six five volt memory unless you're going really crazy on it it probably doesn't you know need the eight pounds of copper and aluminum that's attached to it but they look pretty badass in so we're gonna go ahead and install these in one of our z77 boards and see how it goes so here's my Ivy Bridge test platform this is with a four point something four point six gigahertz 3770k and my standard testing kingston hyperx ddr3 1600 so what i'm gonna do is i'm going to see just how you know plug and play this new 2.4 gigahertz memory from patriot is so the full specs our hymn to 2400 megahertz and then the latencies are 11:00 11:00 11:30 it's an 8 gig kit running at 1.6 5 volts here we go there it is installed all we had to do was enable the XMP profile and there are these settings that are promised on the package there look there's the memory running in the system it looks pretty ballin out so let's see if we actually you know what let's do this in real time okay so motherboard settings save and exit save changes in reboot yes so let's find out if it works together how easy is it we will soon know when the computer boots up and let's see how long Linus can keep talking about nothing while he waits for a computer to boot it's a good thing it has an SSD because Oh incidentally also a patriot SSD that's a wildfire in there one of the fastest SSDs out there still booting up right it's a good thing it has an SSD 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 post you guys see that it's flash green done starting Windows ready to go although this is a very beat-up copy of Windows in the sense that it has like a billion different drivers on it and a ton of different utilities and startup nonsense however it should still boot reasonably quickly there we go let's see if it worked so if you're really committed to running high frequency memory then it looks like Ivy Bridge is pretty simple to do it on as long as you buy high frequency memory thank you for checking out this unboxing and test of Patriots viper-two extreme division to our viper extreme division to 2400 megahertz ddr3 ram don't forget to subscribe to me on youtube let's see how long I keep watching this Slick's laughing in the background not sure if you can hear that or not it's a good thing someone thinks I'm funny okay here oh yeah yeah supersonic XT that's his USB Drive he's running to get more Patriot stuff wait for it wait for it or don't wait for it it's fun you don't have to yes more Patriot stuff you'll find more you'll find more wait for it oh yeah wildfire box oh yeah Tyra Missy blows more wildfire boxes wow it's like the Patriot Museum going on in here now okay subscribe
