Test: Patriot Viper 1800 DDR3

Konklusion

Patriot har præsteret et sæt DDR3 på hele 1800MHz, der alligevel overclocker så det er til at føle på. Vi nåede samtidig timings på bare 7-6-5-18, der er ved at ligne hvad vi kender fra DDR2, og det endda ved command raten 1T. Vi må altså konkludere at sættet er berettigede deres navn - de er giftige.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
"Extreme Performance - Low Latency" - sådan lyder sloganet for Patriots Viper serie, og det kan vi kun være helt og aldeles enige i. Med dette sæt er vi ved at se hvad DDR3 kan drive det til, og det er flot at se allerede nu hvor DDR3 kun lige er ved at gøre deres indpas i vores kære PC'ere. Selv om RAM'enes heatspreaders er sølvfarvede, er de lavet af en legering der også indeholder kobber, og med 2.2v igemmen sig, var der faktisk ikke nogen mærkbar temperaturforskel ift. de 1.9 der er standard.

Design/Layout - 5
Patriots Viper RAM har et lidt særpræget design, der ud over at se godt ud, ligeledes er meget effektive til at fjerne varmen. Vi havde ingen problemer med at nå et stabilt overclock, både med og uden extra volt.

Ydelse - 4
Vi nåede 1950MHz ved standard timings. Med 2.2 volt kunne vi presse timings ned på bare 7-6-5-18 ved 1900MHz, og det er første gang undetegnede har oplevet et sæt DDR3, der også ville køre med en commandrate på 1T ved så høje MHz.

Pris - 4
Prisen på Patriots Viper RAM ligger på 1399,- dkr. Det er en mere end rimelig pris for et sæt high performance DDR3, der yder så godt.  

 UK summary

Patriot has made a set of DDR3 that runs 1800MHz, but stil hits a noteworthy overclock. On top of that, we got timings of just 7-6-5-18, which is looking almost like thoose of DDR2, and that's even at the commandrate of 1T. Therefore we have to conclude, that the name is not that far from the truth - they are poisonous.

Innovation/Technology - 4
"Extreme Performance - Low Latency" - is the slogan of Patriots Viper series, and we can only agree on that point. With this set, we are beginning to see what is possible with DDR3, and it's positive to see already, when DDR3 is only just on the verge to seriously find it's way into our PC's. Even though the heatpreaders are silver, they are made of an alloy with cobber in it, and at 2.2v there really wasn't a difference in temperature over the standard of 1.9v

Design/Layout - 5
Patriots Vipers has a somewhat odd design, whitch besides of looking good, is also very effective at removing heat. We didn't experience any difficulties reaching a stable overclock, both with, and without extra voltage.

Performance - 4
We reached 1950MHz at standard timings. With 2.2v we got the timings down to just 7-6-5-18 at 1900MHz, and it's the first time your's truly has had the pleasure of experiencing a set of DDR3, whitch also ran at a commandrate of 1T at these high speeds.

Price - 4
The price of Patriots Vipers DDR3 Memory is 1399.- dkr. That's more than reasonable for a set of high performance RAM, that performs this well.
