Ever eager to provide gamers and enthusiasts with high-end random access memory (RAM) products, Patriot Memory just announced its latest collection of so-called Extreme Performance DDR3 memory.

The new line of memory products that Patriot created is is the Viper Xtreme Series Extreme Performance DDR3.

There are, for now, two memory kits available, one composed of a pair of 2GB modules, thus with a total capacity of 4GB, and one with two 4GB modules, for a total of 8GB.

Both of them have latencies of 9-10-9-27 and, more importantly, a frequency of 2,000 MHz, making them quite suited for overclocking.

The newcomers operate on a current of 1.65V and utilize specially-designed heatshields that are constructed out of both aluminum and copper.

These are “built with an extruded aircraft-grade aluminum heat spreader and an inner copper strip” and should be capable of improving heat dissipation by 5% compared to heatspreaders made solely of aluminum.

“Patriot has been offering some of the fastest performance memory solutions in the world, and our Viper Xtreme series delivers a high-end solution with a custom heatshield built around a copper core to offer better cooling”, says Les Henry, Patriot’s VP of Engineering.

“Our in-house engineering expertise and knowledge of the enthusiast market has helped us push the boundaries and set the standard for DDR3 memory solutions,” the VP added.

“With Viper Xtreme series modules showcase our expertise in developing and delivering performance solutions for the enthusiast market,” Les Henry went on to saying.

The two kits from the Viper Xtreme Series Extreme Performance DDR3 can be found described in detail on the official product page available on Patriot's website.

Every module is individually hand tested in Patriot's labs and the kits should soon start shipping, although there is, currently, no sort of information on pricing.
