Are you planning to buy a new DDR4 ram and came across this brand Patriot but you are feeling skeptical about buying it? Well i thought the same but I got this stick because i got this at 50% less price than the other brands. Hence, I decided to test my luck and I will share my experience using it.
Don't have the energy to read this review, here is the link to the video:
Should you buy or not? you will come to know by end of this review.
I purchased this RAM in October 2023 and its now May 2024. The price was just 971.40 Indian rupees that roughly is around 12 USD and 10 GBP and 12 Euros
It's 8 GB DDR4 rated at 3200Mhz CL16.
Talking about the warranty, it has limited lifetime warranty as well just like the premium brands. So you don't lose any benefits.
What I really liked about this out of the box was its heavy duty heatsink, the other RAM which i have is gskill ripjaws which has a bit plasticky kind of heatsink compared to this patriot ram which has a really good and heavy heatsink.
In terms of build and durability, I liked it more than the Gskill Ripjaws V.
Now, I went ahead and installed it and started my system which was pretty smooth and no blue screens at all.
Discussing about the compatibility, from October i never had any blue screen or any crashing issue during gaming or processing any video. I have Gskill and Patriot RAM's both running at 3200MHz without any problems and lag.
If you get into same situation, make sure you set the timings correctly on your profile in the BIOS and the timing rating should match with the ram you already have. The RAM is running in 1:16 ratio perfectly fine since it matches the timings and rating with the other ram I have.
Coming to the hardware, since I got it for very less price and was not a very popular brand among pc builders, i was not expecting it to have its DRAM chips to be from a good manufacturer but to my surprise, this stick has DRAM chips from Micron technologies
the same company who has their own brand Crucial and the first one to bring DDR5 in the market.
I was afraid it might had sk hynix drams because in most budget or cheap RAMs we usually get drams from hynix. This made me really happy that I got micron batch unit. It could be my luck or they always use micron. I am not sure.
Coming to the gaming performance, playing csgo (now CS2), microsoft flight simulator 2020, xplane 12 and American truck simulator was never a problem after adding this RAM. On high gaming workloads, this RAM never gave up and everything has been completely smooth.
Overall, buying this RAM turned into a very good trust now and in future I will not refrain from buying this brand ram stick again. After reading this article, I am sure you got your answer and theres no need to worry you can go ahead and buy this RAM.
The purchase link is in the video description and I hope everything is covered in this text regarding this RAM if you feel I've missed something you can ask me in the comments down below and I will reply back as soon as possible.
Please make sure to share this to the pc groups so others get the answer to their question
Have a great time ahead, stay safe and thanks for reading this review. Have a great day and bye bye!
