If your DDR4 machine already has a 16GB Vipersteel stick and you want 32GB in dual channel, this is the matching half. If you are working through a budget in stages, it gets you to a workable capacity now and to the sensible 32GB later without discarding anything you bought. DDR4-3600 remains the practical target on Ryzen 3000 and 5000 platforms because it lines up with a 1:1 Infinity Fabric ratio, and it drops straight into Intel LGA1200 or DDR4 LGA1700 boards too. The heat spreader stays low enough for most tower coolers, and the lighting syncs with standard motherboard RGB software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRead this before you buy one stick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own this module runs in single channel, and that halves your effective memory bandwidth. In CPU-bound games the difference against a matched 2x8GB kit at the same total capacity is real and measurable in both averages and 1% lows. If you are buying memory for a build from scratch and 16GB is the target, buy a 2x8GB kit instead — same money, better performance. This single stick is the right purchase only when you are pairing it with an identical existing module, or deliberately staging toward 32GB. Also note that DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable: the notch position differs and a DDR4 module will not seat in a DDR5 board. Check your motherboard's QVL before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16GB DDR4-3600 on a single module, leaving slots free for expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXMP 2.0 profile for one-click rated speed on Intel and AMD DDR4 boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRGB lighting with motherboard software sync\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium heat spreader shaped to clear most air coolers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScreened DDR4 ICs with per-module factory testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: PVSR416G360C0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 16GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit configuration: Single module (1x16GB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory type: DDR4 UDIMM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed: 3600MHz rated (JEDEC base 2133-2666MHz until XMP is enabled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAS latency: Refer to the module label and BIOS SPD readout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 1.2V nominal DDR4, 1.35V typical at the 3600MHz XMP profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm factor: 288-pin DIMM, desktop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat spreader: Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRGB: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXMP\/EXPO support: Intel XMP 2.0 (EXPO is DDR5 only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Patriot Vipersteel 16GB DDR4-3600 memory module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-static packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatriot warranty documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Patriot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVipersteel is Patriot's long-running DDR4 performance line, built on screened ICs with profiles that post first time on mainstream boards.
