The practical DDR4 gaming floor: 16GB in proper dual channel at 3600MHz.
Quick Specs
- 16GB dual channel kit, 2 x 8GB modules

- Steel-look aluminium heat spreader with RGB lighting
- Matched, factory-tested pair
- Patriot Limited Lifetime Warranty
The sensible DDR4 starting point
This is the kit most DDR4 gaming builds should start from. Sixteen gigabytes across two 8GB modules gives you dual channel operation from the moment you power on, and dual channel is where DDR4 gets its bandwidth — a matched pair like this is measurably faster than a single 16GB stick at the same rated speed, particularly in 1% lows. The 3600MHz rating suits Ryzen 3000 and 5000 boards, where 3600 keeps the Infinity Fabric in a 1:1 ratio and delivers the best latency those platforms offer, and it works equally well on Intel LGA1200 and DDR4 LGA1700 systems. The heat spreader is modest enough not to fight a tower cooler.
Where 16GB stops being enough
Sixteen gigabytes is the floor, not the ceiling. It is comfortable for gaming today, but if you stream while you play, keep dozens of browser tabs open, run Photoshop or Premiere alongside a game, or work in virtual machines, you will hit the limit and start swapping to disk. In that case buy 32GB now rather than upgrading twice. Also worth knowing: 2x8GB modules are single rank, which is slightly slower than dual rank 2x16GB at identical timings, though the gap is small. And DDR4 is not compatible with DDR5 boards — the notch position physically differs. Confirm your motherboard's QVL before you order.

- Matched 2x8GB pair for guaranteed dual channel operation
- DDR4-3600 rated speed via a one-click XMP 2.0 profile

Questions
Before you buy
Will this memory work in my PC?
This is DDR4 rated at 3600 MT/s. Your motherboard has to support the same generation - DDR4 and DDR5 modules are keyed differently and will not physically fit the wrong board. The rated speed needs the memory profile (XMP on Intel, EXPO on AMD) switched on in the BIOS; without it the kit runs at the board’s default speed.
What exactly is in this kit?
16GB in total, supplied as 2 matched modules. Modules sold together are tested to run as a set, which is why a kit is the safer buy than two single sticks bought separately. Fit them in the slots your motherboard manual specifies for dual channel - usually the second and fourth from the CPU.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
