Desktop DDR4 Memory PATRIOT Viper Steel 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 288-pin DIMM 1.35V

The Patriot Memory Viper Steel DDR4 32GB 3200MHz module is a dual-channel kit composed of two 16 GB DDR4 DIMMs designed for desktop PCs and workstations. Operating at 3200 MHz with a CAS latency of 16 and a 288-pin form factor, this memory kit delivers the bandwidth required for multitasking, content creation and gaming. The modules use 1.35 V operating voltage and are finished with a low-profile heat spreader that balances thermal performance with compatibility in systems that have large CPU coolers.

Advantages

This 32 GB kit provides ample capacity for memory-intensive applications while maintaining DDR4 stability at 3200 MHz. The CL16 timing supports responsive system behavior under load, and the 288-pin DIMM format ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern motherboards that support DDR4. The nominal 1.35 V operating voltage helps reduce power draw compared with higher-voltage modules, and the heat spreader contributes to sustained performance during extended workloads.

Suitable for

• Gaming PCs running modern titles and game engines
• Content creation: photo and video editing, 3D rendering
• Productivity and multitasking with many simultaneous applications
• Home labs and workstations requiring larger memory pools

Key specifications

• Total capacity: 32 GB (2 x 16 GB)
• Memory type: DDR4
• Frequency: 3200 MHz
• CAS latency: 16
• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.35 V
• Module weight: 0.096 kg (kit total weight may vary slightly)

How to use

Install the two 16 GB modules into the memory slots on a compatible motherboard, preferably populating the recommended channels for dual-channel operation as indicated in the motherboard manual. Before installation, power off the system and disconnect the power cable. Align the notch on the 288-pin DIMM with the slot, press firmly until the latches click into place, then reconnect power and enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify the modules are detected and running at the correct frequency. If XMP/DOCP profiles are available on your motherboard, enable the appropriate profile to run the modules at the advertised 3200 MHz.

Recommendations

To achieve stable performance at 3200 MHz, ensure your motherboard and CPU memory controller officially support that frequency and enable the correct memory profile in BIOS/UEFI. Maintain good airflow around DIMM slots and avoid mixing this kit with different capacity or speed modules to reduce the risk of compatibility issues.
