Memory Module Patriot Memory Viper Steel DDR4 16GB 3600MHz

The Patriot Memory Viper Steel DDR4 16GB 3600MHz (PVSR416G360C0K) is a 16 GB kit (2 x 8 GB) of DDR4 system memory designed for PC and server platforms. With a memory clock speed of 3600 MHz, CAS latency of 20 and a 288-pin DIMM form factor, this module provides stable performance for multitasking and memory-intensive applications. The module operates at 1.35 V and includes ECC support for enhanced data integrity in compatible systems. A metal heatshield is used to assist with heat dissipation under sustained loads.

Advantages

The Viper Steel kit combines a high 3600 MHz frequency and DDR4 architecture to deliver improved data throughput compared with lower-speed modules, while ECC support helps maintain data accuracy on supported platforms. A low-profile aluminum heatshield contributes to thermal stability during prolonged operation and helps protect the modules in tightly packed systems. Support for XMP 2.0 allows automatic application of optimized timing and voltage settings on compatible motherboards.

Suitable for

• Desktop PCs requiring a 16 GB DDR4 memory kit (2 x 8 GB)
• Workstations and entry-level servers that support ECC and 288-pin DIMM modules
• Multitasking, office productivity and light content creation workloads
• Systems where 3600 MHz memory speed and improved thermal dissipation are beneficial

Key specifications

• Capacity: 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)
• Memory type: DDR4
• Speed: 3600 MHz
• CAS latency: 20
• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.35 V
• Supports ECC when used in compatible systems
• Aluminum heatshield for improved heat dissipation

How to use

Install the two modules into matching DDR4 memory slots on a compatible motherboard, observing the slot orientation and alignment notch on the 288-pin DIMM. Refer to the motherboard manual for recommended slot population when using a dual-channel configuration. After installation, enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify memory recognition and enable the XMP 2.0 profile if automatic overclocking settings are desired. Ensure the system power is disconnected while installing the modules to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use these modules in systems that explicitly support DDR4 3600 MHz speeds and 1.35 V operation. For ECC functionality, install the kit on motherboards and processors that implement ECC support. When building compact or high-heat systems, allow for adequate case airflow to complement the aluminum heatshield and maintain stable operation under load.
