Should you upgrade to 4400MHz memory? - Patriot Viper Steel Series Review

[@mkesl]

It would be nice if the XMP actually worked.

[@fredmcgovern302]

It worked fine on my Apex

[@Nordern]

I wonder if you get performance differences on Ryzen processors due to the infinity fabric, compared to 2400mhz at same CL?

[@C4CH3S]

It's basically imposible to get over 3600mhz on ryzen. Infinity fabric kinda tops out at 3200. Ryzen 3000 will probably be able to hit 4000mhz though.

[@Nordern]

@@C4CH3S I have a 3200mhz kit, running on 3400 stable, over that not so much Ryzen 2700x Is there any hard cutout we know off on ryzen ?

[@C4CH3S]

@@Nordern if you check some benchs you will se that after 3200 the scaling falls off a cliff. speed gets better over 3200, but way slower than for example 2666 to 3000. The difference between 3200 and 3600 is minimal compared to that difference As far as how fast can you run current bdie on ryzen, I would say 3600cl16 on a decent kit with active cooling. The memory controller is just plain bad, so I would say 3600 is a cutout for stable ram speeds.

[@C4CH3S]

@RavenPrecept infinity fabric only scales son much. An this memory kit would not go over 3600mhz stable on ryzen because of how the memory controller is made.

[@C4CH3S]

@RavenPrecept it probably does the same as any other high end bdie. This kit is not a crazy new memory technology, this kit is just good old very binned bdie. Maybe 3600 cl14 daily for this kit (if you are lucky) and maybe over 3800 if you are benching. (with active cooling)

[@LiftedSeven]

In 2014 people told me I am crazy for the fact that I claimed higher frequency RAM improves FPS. I was guided by my own tests, when I overclocked 1333mhz to 1866mhz and got around 15-20 FPS boost in 1080p Battlefield Hardline. 5 years later everyone is casually talking about it like it's a fact. Though I was laughed at on the forums, or at the very least looked at with skepticism, for saying it boosts FPS. Surprise-surprise

[@PrintAimGame]

Tests 5 years ago showed a minimal effect on DDR3. It's only been since the advent of DDR4 that it's really made a difference. I'm not sure what changed in that timeframe tbh, but it wasn't some conspiracy against you. Hardware changed.

[@jaybee0507]

Back then it was basically the same thing with I5 vs i7. People were basically calling you out stupid for getting an i7. Plus, today those i7s especially with fast memory are still rocking hard, while old i5s are starting to show their age.

[@Pillokun]

Back then we did not had that powerful gpus as we have now, even when you oc the cpu the videocard is bottle necked by the cpu especially at 1080p and even in some cases in some games at 1440p. Upping the the frequency of the ram will give the system higher bandwidth and latencies will get a bit lower as well. For example when you are in a game and you look up in the sky then the fps number will get super high as the scene is not that gpu intensive but when you look down you once again are first and foremost gpu bound and having faster ram will not help as much in that case, but overall avg fps will be higher then before. Back in 2014 we had like 980 or 980ti as the fastest gpu out there, and pretty much every game was gpu "bottlenecked" but now with pascal and turin high end gpus fast ram is very important part.

[@jaybee0507]

Pillokun, i beg to disagree a little bit. We have a had plenty cpu bottlenecked games then and far before that. Even though gpu might have been the bottleneck more times than cpu, there have always been medium or low settings in games to ease that gpu load for high frame rate/refresh rate gaming. And i am talking way before nvidia 9-series. Gtx980ti was a hell of a card to push cpus to their knees. It’s just that 120+ hz monitors were kinda more rare for example in the era of nvidia 6 and 7 series, but people have still played high frame rate games like counter strike even far before those. Actually the first game that made appreciate high frame rate was Doom (1993). Those pentium processors blew your mind paired with your favorite crt monitor.

[@noth606]

Lol, this has been the case continually ever since the '90's, demonstrated in repeated tests that have been replicated independently countless times. But people are dumb and always assume that if they themselves can't make something work it means that it can't be done. Unfortunately stupid people are simply too stupid to realize that there actually are people who are smarter and more competent than they are and thus can do stuff they can't.

[@Alex-oj8po]

You should do some low latency testing with this kit, getting it running at c14 3733Mhz would probably have incredible results. I just recently got a 4000Mhz Hyper X kit and I'm seeing nice results at c14 3200Mhz on a Ryzen 1700, going to see if I can tweak it further to go beyond 3400.

[@joemama-js6hv]

getting real close to that 100k I see. well done chief! finally some recognition for this beer loving geek friend of ours.

[@annakudriavtsev2510]

Technically the memory is only running at 2200 MHz. DDR means Double Data Rate, 4400 "MHz" is actually 4400 MT/s

[@siemajestembozik]

Umm every ram works like this

[@sciencegirl100]

Awesome, as usual! Memory overclocking is always a little stargne to me.

[@chrisb9726]

Thing is, any gains in speed from the RAM are going to be somewhat dependent on a couple subtimings in particular--that is if you have a high memory speed and a super high latency in any subtiming, you'll find you don't really gain all that much performance.

[@AcidRP]

There is a tiny Italian man drowning in the background

[@joannaatkins822]

Fantastic! Brief, informative, and to the point. I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 1600x on an all core 4ghz @ 1.35v, 16gb of Corsair Dominator RAM running 3200mhz CL16,18,18,32 @ 1.36v, and a GTX 1060 6gb from MSI. Considering the time I have put into these overclocks I'm confident the CPU can go faster, but the RAM has been picky. I don't think my rig could handle more RAM speed.

[@Linets.]

Tried overclock my ram above 2666 with 1600 3.4ghz but dont work... I would wanna overclock all but I dont understand all.. Now trying overclock 1060 6gb I got core in 180 and mem on 1000 not 100% stable yet but aroind 160 and 900 is maybe the spot.

[@mrdot1126]

i would test this ram with a 2700x overclocked... cuz AMD is more memory clock sensitive

[@thomast6907]

MR Dot1 Worthless trying, the IMC in the 2700X and other Ryzen chips can’t handle such highly clocked RAM

[@Nighterlev]

False. Ryzen benefits just as much as Intel does from highly over-clocked RAM. Ryzen is no different here. You wouldn't see much of a difference in the results at all with a 6c/12t Ryzen CPU vs the 6c/12t 8700k.

[@Nighterlev]

[@Cafe_TTV]

Did you bump up your system agent and IO voltage? It's nigh impossible to hit these speeds if you're at like 1.1V.

[@Spacecomber]

I like checking out what you have going on here. Thinking about a comparison of memory speeds on performance, I might have tried to break it down into some theoretical/synthetic benchmarks (memory benchmarks and CPU benchmarks) to see what the potential for improvement might be and then looked at user scenarios like games and maybe something else, like video encoding, to see some "real world" results. Would have been more work, though, and maybe not much to show for it, given the results that you did get.

[@TheCptnOfFail]

I wonder how well this will work with the new stuff from AMD later on. Great B-roll by the way, it looks great in 360p

[@TexasTimelapse]

I'm waiting on this too.

[@RojasTKD7]

I don't know Patriot "fast"RAM kits not being able to run at advertised speeds seems to be a common theme from my limited experience.

[@Diapolo10]

Currently sporting an i9-9900k @ 4.9 GHz (clocks were mostly stable at 5 GHz, but not enough to my liking at 1.4V, so I shifted it down a bit) with 32 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. Honestly, while 3200 MHz is by no means bad, I think I'd benefit from faster memory because I do things that utilise it a lot.

[@H31MU7]

Nice work, dude, especially on the hitman results. I'm glad I went with some relatively inexpensive (for the time) 3600MT/s memory.

[@floki6481]

So I recently grabbed a 2 kits of Patriot Viper Steel 4400Mhz 2x8. One stick has a different XMP profile and says its part number in CPU-Z is 4000 C19 instead of 4400 C19. Also without removing the heatspreader I can see that the memory stick that has a different XMP also physically looks different under the heatspreader compared to the other 3 sticks of RAM. So did I get a memory kit with a 4000 C19 memory module in a 4400Mhz kit?

[@Carnyzzle]

I'm running a Ryzen 5 2600 with Corsair vengeance 16GB running at DDR4 3066. It's rated at 3200 but 3066 is close enough for me.

[@sjarken3979]

I had same problem, then i did raise the voltage slightly, something like 0.002 volt and then i had 3200mhz without problems. Before that it wouldnt run 3200mhz without crashing, and with the voltage on auto. Worth a shot, as you will get some performance increase. Just dont adjust the voltage too high.

[@ShallowPlane]

I have Corsair vengeance 16gb 3000mhz overclocked to 3200mhz at 1.36 and works a treat on bf5 high settings 1080p 60fps

[@guyfawkes8873]

From what I understand it's actually not the memory controller on Ryzen that can't handle it, it's the Infinity Fabric. That's the reason they're decoupling mem clock and infinity fabric clock on Ryzen 2.

[@MatWilson2612]

I have a very similar system to this and I am interested to see what the difference is in gaming, especially CSGO as I play that a lot. How did you do your testing for it? I'm really keen to replicate what you did and compare. I have a 8700k delidded at 5.2GHz on an Aorus Gaming 7 Z370, with 16GB of GSkill Trident Z RGB 3000Mhz CL16 @ 3900mhz CL16 and a founders 1080 at 2126mhz on the core and I cannot remember the memory for the life of me.

[@General_Griffin]

Is it possible for you to test this RAM kit on something like an R5 2600?

[@sjarken3979]

That could be interesting, as the latency on this ram is quite high while the frequency is also high. It might improve performance vs. low latency 3200Mhz ram, or not. Would like to see a test of that.

[@freepok]

Dude, I have a weird kit, hyper X fury 2400Mhz cl 15 are OCed to 2933Mhz cl 13. Can't get 3000Mhz, crash everytime, no matter the voltage. timings are 13-16-16-28-278 final if I remember correctly

[@josedelguisgado9094]

[@1ManWrenching]

I’m at 3000 C15. I would never give up latency for speed. I’d like to see what you can get this ram up to at C15.

[@LevashovLIVE]

I have the same memory kit Patriot Memory PVS416G440C9K. Managed to overclock it to 4400 Mhz at timings when 17-17-17-36 of 1.47 v. (ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI APEX Z390). In Russia it costs 170$. G.skill will cost 2 times more expensive.

[@DrearierSpider1]

These tests really should've been run at 1080p IMO. I agree with what you said about high end use cases, but you should still test using scenarios that will create a CPU bottleneck, as that will show memory speed differences. There's a reason reviewers test Pentiums with high end GPUs even though it's totally unrealistic.

[@jakegarrett8109]

My FX is still way faster than my Titan Xp... There is no point testing high res for CPU sided things, nothing is fast enough for it, LOL! I'm shocked he didn't test 720p instead to be honest. My laptop with GTX 1070 (mobile, so slightly more CUDA cores than desktop, I have it overclocked to 2 Ghz) and 8750H is "enough" for 1080p (120 Hz panel), but honestly, it could use a better GPU for even 1080p... My main system is over 2x the fps of my Titan Xp, but unfortunately my FX board can't hold 4x GPU to test to see if it can handle it. PS: at 4k resolution, FX-8350 at stock speeds is probably fast enough for duel Titan Xp, though probably just short of duel Titan RTX, however, FX overclocked by 20% is super easy on an AIO (I have mine at 5.5 Ghz on phase cooling just for LOLs, interestingly, power consumption is about half of expected with the 80c lower core temps... So that's cool from a scientific test showing efficiency vs thermals. Max temp is below 0c on the core vs near thermal limits, almost makes up for the huge compressor, so that's crazy). So my setup probably could handle duel Titan RTX, and even a 120mm AIO is probably borderline close to enough for almost no performance loss even with the best duel cards Nvidia has to offer (even if it is $6,000 in graphics, you really don't need more than FX...)

No, 200MHz isn't going to make a drastic difference. And chances are you can OC your 3000MHz kit to 3200 without touching voltages or timings.

[@freddybigs10]

Ram speeds do make a difference. Current gen and even last gen graphics cards have DDR5/6 or HBM memory which are far faster than the DDR3/4 ram. Even if our cards do not have a cpu or memory capacity bottleneck they do have a ram speed bottleneck.

[@jcrewkidd]

Whats the latency on the 4400 ram, CL14 / 15 /16? What were your timings with the previous ram versus this ram? Details left out that are more important than just the 3200Mhz vs. 4400mhz. Lower Mhz ram can run faster with the timings are better. There are cases where you can get 3200 Mhz Ram with better timings such as C14 than if you had say 3600 mhz ram with c16 timings. Your timings matter more than anything else, at least that is my experience.

Ever tried tuning the CL timings to 14 instead of 16 on the 3200 kit? Since you pushed the 4400 kit as tight as it could get it seems only fair to do this on the 3200 aswell. @craftcomputing

When discussing the Hitman 2016 results, you forgot to mention the abysmal 0.1% lows. Those lows indicate that stutter is significantly worse on 4000 MHz CL20 than on 3200 CL15. I'd rather play on the 3200 kit; a more consistent playing experience is ideal.

[@macangelo25]

I have a noob question.. I encounter a lot of processor that says ddr4 2400 mhz is that the maximum speed of the ram that you can pair with the processor even though the motherboard is capable of 3200mhz.. And also it has 2 channels does that means you can only used two slots of ram of motherboard??

read somewhere that above 2400mhz it doesn't even matter for gaming , it doesn't do anything more when going higher then that , meaning getting higher LOW fps range so i tested it myself , got 2400 mhz and overclocked it to 3000 , my lowest fps went up by 10-20 fps , which is a nice boost , when you think you can OC your cpu and gpu aswel and get about the same from both it's all free extra performance that you ''didn't'' need to pay for , which you obviously DID though ... all in the price , don't worry about that .... the day people get stuff for free is the day hell freezes over , and i don't believe in hell , so that's gonna be along time so yeah , just keep on replacing the speeds , cause it DOES help with LOW fps the weird thing is , that the games feel different , it feels like the ram work load is more spread out to give you a better experience ... maybe it's the timings i set or something , just feels different , i can always tell the smallest changes , even 1 cookie that gets detected as mallware , i can feel it in a game ! or if i didn't clean out the ram before playing any game

I can push it up to 3600 MHz @ 1.5 Volts, which is finn for a quick benchmark, but I think it's too hot for daily use. 4400MHz would be mental, but there's no way this Ryzen system could do it. When the new Ryzen parts hit the market this summer I think I'll upgrade to a X570 motherboard, or whatever they decide to call it.

[@jouniosmala9921]

Hitman results can be interpreted quite reasonably. Firstly the title is clearly memory bandwidth limited by DMA transfers to GPU and CPU algorithms . Secondly the title probably does lot of AI and physics etc... calculations independent of graphics. Lets say that AI and physics would use about 2Ghz worth of memory bandwidth when there is enough available. At that point the amount available for graphics would be 1.2Ghz and 2Ghz. I have had 4FPS on another game on my first gen i7 simply because the non graphics portion of the game took all the CPU power I had, and there wasn't anything left for the graphics.

Even though we see a bit of a gain, you should be using 1080p for this test as gtx1080 is not that of a monster of a gpu anymore. if you used a 2080ti or even an 2080/1080ti then I would almost use 1044p for a ram test like that. And the other thing, why did you not use a proper mini-itx mobo with proper expenisve ram. I have built a couple of intel mini itx sys for CS:GO players with ram raging from 4400-4600 and even one 4800 kit and they all did their rated xmp profiles. You need proper hardware but those frequencies are not that hard to get once you threw cash at the problem.

Like me for apex i run at 720p which is a killer to run 240hz with no pre-rendered frames but the memory speed really helps. in the pro overwatch scene most of the players are now getting there rigs kitted with 4000mhz+ they also run there games all low 1080p.. this is the only place i see 4000mhz+ memory useful atm. also for benching ofc

How do you see enemies at distance? Guessing you play close range only?

[@r3pents7]

@@tubularmonkeymaniac this can be a semi issue. usually you can see a pixel blob. some of players use 768p 16:10. but tbh when guns like Wingman and Peacekeapers exist you just tp/zip in and go for closer range. always use the ping system. always spam skull town... best fights. amazing in 240hz goodness

going to see how this runs on an I3-10100 with B560 chipset. 4-5 extra frames baby!

[@thegirthquake8574]

When you upgrade from a 1070ti to a 1080, you're really just doing a side grade.

I run 3200mhz 14141434 on 2x16gb together with 2700x @4.2ghz(waiting for zen 2) and 1080ti and hoping high end navi will replace it.

[@BuildaMan]

Good video, but the graphs were a little hard to read

[@comradeyuri2972]

This would make a difference in AMD possibly?

I run a b die Team Group 4000mhz kit @ 4133 cl 15 ultra tight subs on a z390 Dark/9900kf with a 5ghz IMC for 1440p 144hz gamming.....The thing is with ram kits like this is that anything over 4ghz is an utter crap shoot, your IMC might not be able to do it....you motherboard might not be able to handle it.....im guessing that is why he isn't running XMP on that ram and instead running 4ghz. Most ram like that is only certified to run on like 1-3 motherboards and a "binned" cpu aka a good to great IMC . Most times save your money and buy a 3600-4000 kit with good timings and overclock it.

Hah. This is really cool. Im actually running the viper patriot rgb kit 2x8gb 3200mhz cas 16 with a ryzen 7 1800x and 1080ti. Still on a asrock bm350 pro4 mb because waiting paitently for ryzen 3xxx and x570 boards. But i said fuggit who cares if we dont have lloc or nice vrms lets overclock a 8c/16t cpu on a 80 dollar mb anyways lmfao. . Got 3.9 stable at 1.30v before vdroop on the stock amd wraith spire cooler left over from my original 1500x. The 1080ti is a evga sc2 that refuses to hold 2000+ mhz core clock and settles in at 1974mhz instead with the typical 1080ti plus 500mhz mem clock oc. I did for shits n giggles try faster than 3200 on the ram and my viper rgb kit did let me just touch frequency and nothing else. 3333mhz no problem. 3466mhz seemed okay but after 3 hours in AC oddesy i crashed so i put it back to the xmp 3200mhz profile. I need to do more reading up on ram Oc'ing before i feel confident leaving it oc'd.

I am using a Ryzen 7 1700 with 16gb (2*8) at 2400 MHz and RX 480and it has a terrible performance with Minecraft. Can someone help me to improve?

[@NathanBinks]

Something with Java or the game itself, I don't get good fps with a 2700, GTX 1070 Ti and 2933 16GB RAM.

[@filipbackable]

Shit ram

[@meteormedia7021]

I hoped you might be testing with Ryzen...

[@KS-gf3tv]

This should be tested on Ryzen, since it benefits WAY more than Intel from higher memory speeds.

[@flycosis]

no one with a good pc plays at ultra...I go out of my way to disable as much as possible

[@sjoerd104]

Someone noticed that frame drop in the video?

[@acetown2263]

My motherboard can't even utilize my 3000mhz ram fully xD

[@DenzNoble]

Will be interesting if you test it on Ryzen later :)
