The Vulcan Z’s signature heat spreader design carries over in bold red on this variant. The heat spreader is formed by a punch press process with a 0.8mm thick, one-piece alloy aluminium construction to reinforce the body structure. The electrolytic anodising process enhances corrosion resistance and makes it non-conductive, while superconductive thermal adhesive maintains gaming memory within operating temperatures. The red anodised finish is vivid and build-neutral — it pops in windowed cases without requiring RGB sync software or any configuration.

Performance & XMP 2.0

Timings are CL16-18-18-38 at DDR4-3200MHz — primary CL16 latency puts this firmly in the enthusiast performance tier, significantly tighter than the CL22 JEDEC modules elsewhere in this range. XMP Profile 2.0 is supported for one-click overclocking on both AMD and Intel CPUs, with the module operating at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled the module defaults to its JEDEC base speed.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: If XMP 2.0 is not enabled, the memory will run at the SPD default frequency (JEDEC standard), such as DDR4-2133/2400 or lower. This is normal behaviour and not a product defect. It is recommended to update your motherboard BIOS before installing to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.

IC Quality & Compatibility

Every IC chip is selected through a rigorous testing process, ensuring the best performance and stability for overclocking and gaming, and the module is fully optimised to be compatible with the latest DDR4 Intel and AMD platforms. Platform compatibility covers Intel Core 6th through 11th generation and AMD Ryzen 1000, 2000, 3000, and 5000 series desktop CPUs. As a single 16GB stick the module runs in single-channel mode by default; pairing with a second matching unit enables 32GB dual-channel.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, add a second module and install both in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Check your board’s manual for the correct configuration.

The HX432C16FB3/8 stands at just 34.1mm (1.3425″) with its heatsink fitted — making it one of the most cooler-friendly CL16 gaming memory modules available. Where the HyperX Predator RGB reaches 42.2mm, the Fury comes in more than 8mm shorter, comfortably clearing the RAM overhang zones of almost all large tower CPU coolers. The revised black aluminium heat spreader gives it a clean, premium look without contributing unnecessary height or weight to the build.

Plug N Play Auto-Overclocking

A standout feature that sets HyperX FURY apart from other DDR4-3200 modules is its Plug N Play auto-overclocking capability. FURY DDR4 features Plug N Play automatic overclocking at 2400MHz and 2666MHz speeds, providing a performance boost without requiring any manual BIOS configuration on compatible platforms. On Intel systems that support XMP, enabling XMP Profile 1 in BIOS takes the module to its full DDR4-3200 CL16 rated speed — and on platforms with Plug N Play support, the system handles intermediate speed optimisation automatically.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-18-18 timings at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 with CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. The inclusion of two hand-tuned profiles means the Fury can deliver rated CL16 performance on capable systems while still offering a reliable secondary profile for platforms that struggle with DDR4-3200 from XMP Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your motherboard BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best results.

AMD note: AMD Ryzen systems will boot at the JEDEC default speed and latency with FURY. To enable the factory overclock speed and latency, XMP Profile 1 must be selected manually in the BIOS.

IC Quality & Build

The module is a 1Rx8 single-rank design built on eight 1G×8-bit FBGA components with gold contact fingers and a 288-pin form factor. Depending on batch, the HX432C16FB3/8 uses Samsung B-die or Micron Rev.E ICs — both widely supported across mainstream Intel and AMD chipsets. Kingston backs this with 100% factory testing at rated speeds and a lifetime warranty.

Compatibility

The Fury is compatible across mainstream Intel (Core 6th generation onwards) and AMD Ryzen DDR4 platforms, covering AM4, LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported). As a single 8GB stick it runs in single-channel mode by default; pairing with a second matching module in the recommended dual-channel slots delivers 16GB dual-channel and maximum memory bandwidth.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, add a second HX432C16FB3/8 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

The Fury RGB takes the Fury’s proven platform and adds a full-length illuminated RGB diffuser strip along the top of the module. Unlike the Predator RGB’s cable-free Infrared Sync, the Fury RGB relies on software sync via motherboard RGB ecosystems — making it compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, as well as HyperX’s own NGenuity software for standalone lighting customisation. The black aluminium heat spreader and black PCB carry over from the non-RGB Fury, with the illuminated diffuser sitting above the spreader for a clean, layered aesthetic.

The addition of the RGB diffuser increases module height to 41.24mm — up from the non-RGB Fury’s 34.1mm — which is comparable to other RGB gaming modules and still narrower than the Predator RGB’s 42.2mm. Most large tower air coolers will clear this height, but it’s worth verifying before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 41.24mm tall, the Fury RGB is taller than the non-RGB Fury (34.1mm). Confirm your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Performance & Dual XMP Profiles

The Fury RGB shares its full performance specification with the non-RGB Fury. XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-18-18 timings at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 with CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Plug N Play auto-overclocking at 2400MHz and 2666MHz is also supported on compatible platforms, making initial setup straightforward even before XMP is manually enabled.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your motherboard BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best results.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module will boot at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable the rated DDR4-3200 frequency and CL16 timings.

IC Quality & Build

The HX432C16FB3A/8 is a 1Rx8 single-rank module built on eight 1G×8-bit FBGA components with gold contact fingers on a 288-pin form factor. Kingston backs all HyperX Fury memory with 100% factory testing at rated speeds and a lifetime warranty. Depending on production batch, ICs are typically Samsung B-die or Micron Rev.E — both of which have excellent compatibility track records across mainstream DDR4 platforms.

Positioning vs Fury & Predator RGB

The Fury RGB sits between the non-RGB Fury and the Predator RGB in Kingston’s HyperX DDR4 lineup. It matches the Predator RGB’s CL16 XMP performance profile but trades the Predator’s Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation for a more accessible price point. The non-RGB Fury offers the same performance in a lower-profile (34.1mm) package for cooler-clearance-constrained builds. If RGB sync across multiple sticks is a priority and budget allows, the Predator RGB’s Infrared Sync is the more elegant solution; for a single RGB stick or a budget-conscious RGB build, the Fury RGB delivers full value.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and matched RGB lighting across both slots, add a second HX432C16FB3A/8 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

The Gammix D35 design carries over identically from the 8GB variant — and that’s the point. The Gammix D35 boasts a low-profile heatsink that fits perfectly in smaller PC cases and avoids interfering with tower CPU coolers, making it one of the few CL16 XMP gaming modules that can be safely installed alongside large tower air coolers without measuring clearance obsessively. The compact triangular outline is specifically designed for gamers with unique personalities who want a clean, distinctive aesthetic without RGB. The all-black anodised aluminium heat spreader keeps thermals in check during sustained XMP operation.

Performance & XMP 2.0

The AX4U320016G16A-SBKD35 runs at a tested speed of 3200MT/s with CL16-20-20 tested latency at 1.35V, with Intel XMP 2.0 supported for one-click BIOS overclocking to the rated speed. Without XMP enabled the module defaults to JEDEC base speed — XMP must be activated in BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: Without activating XMP 2.0 in BIOS (or DOCP/EXPO on AMD), this module defaults to JEDEC speed — typically DDR4-2666 or lower. Enable XMP to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-20-20. This is normal behaviour, not a defect.

Quality & Compatibility

The GAMMIX D35 has undergone strict selection and screening procedures, passing reliability and compatibility tests, and uses only the highest quality IC chips and PCBs for higher overclocking performance and reliability. ADATA memory has been tested and verified to work with the latest AMD platforms for hassle-free compatibility and excellent overclocking performance, covering AM4 (Ryzen), LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported). The module is RoHS compliant.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, add a second AX4U320016G16A-SBKD35 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct configuration.

The Fury platform’s defining characteristic carries through to the 16GB variant unchanged: the module stands at just 34.1mm (1.3425″) with its heatsink fitted — the same low-profile dimension as the 8GB Fury. This makes it one of the most cooler-friendly 16GB CL16 gaming memory modules available, clearing the RAM overhang zone of virtually all large tower air coolers. The revised black aluminium heat spreader gives the module a clean, premium appearance without adding unnecessary height to the build.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The HX432C16FB3/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — eight chips per rank, two ranks per module, arranged on both sides of the PCB. This dual-rank topology is a genuine upgrade over single-rank 16GB alternatives, allowing the memory controller to interleave between ranks and keep one primed while the other is being accessed. The result is marginally improved effective memory bandwidth compared to a single-rank 16GB module at the same clock speed and timings — a meaningful benefit in workloads with high memory access parallelism.

Plug N Play & Dual XMP Profiles

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. The JEDEC SPD default is DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. HyperX Fury’s Plug N Play auto-overclocking is also supported at 2400MHz and 2666MHz on compatible platforms, providing a performance step-up even before XMP is manually enabled.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback for platforms that struggle with Profile 1. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

The Fury RGB 16GB carries forward the same RGB implementation as the 8GB variant — a full-length illuminated diffuser strip along the top of the module driven by software-controlled RGB, compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, as well as HyperX’s own NGenuity software. The black aluminium heat spreader and matching black PCB maintain the Fury’s clean aesthetic, with the RGB diffuser sitting above the spreader.

The RGB diffuser adds height to 41.24mm (1.624″) with the heatsink fitted — up from the non-RGB Fury /16’s 34.1mm, and a fraction narrower than the Predator RGB’s 42.2mm. This is comparable to most RGB gaming modules and should clear the majority of tower air coolers, but clearance should be verified before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 41.24mm tall, the Fury RGB is taller than the non-RGB Fury (34.1mm). Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Positioning Within the Fury & Predator RGB Lineup

The HX432C16FB3A/16 sits at the intersection of capacity and RGB value in the HyperX DDR4 lineup. Compared to the non-RGB Fury /16 (HX432C16FB3/16): adds RGB at the cost of 7mm extra height. Compared to the Fury RGB /8 (HX432C16FB3A/8): doubles capacity to 16GB in a single slot, steps up to dual-rank. Compared to the Predator RGB /8 (HX432C16PB3A/8): higher capacity single stick, without Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation. For builders who want 16GB single-stick with RGB and don’t need Infrared Sync, this is the natural choice.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and symmetrical RGB across both DIMM slots, add a second HX432C16FB3A/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots.

The HX432C16PB3/16 is the standard (non-RGB) Predator DDR4 at 16GB — carrying the same aggressive black aluminium heat spreader and CL16 XMP performance as the RGB variant, without the Infrared Sync illumination system. For builders who run their cases closed, want maximum heat spreader mass for thermal performance, or simply don’t need RGB, this is the Predator in its purest form. Predator DDR4’s aggressive black heat spreader ensures that it both looks and stays cool, and the dense aluminium construction provides more thermal mass than the lighter spreaders found on mid-tier modules.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The HX432C16PB3/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — identical IC topology to the HyperX Fury 16GB (HX432C16FB3/16), but in the Predator’s heavier heat spreader housing. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, keeping one rank prepared while the other is being accessed, delivering improved effective memory bandwidth compared to single-rank 16GB alternatives.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. The inclusion of two hand-tuned profiles mirrors the 8GB Predator — ensuring rated CL16 performance on capable platforms while providing a reliable fallback for systems that struggle with DDR4-3200 from Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Predator vs Fury at 16GB

Both the Predator /16 and Fury /16 share the same 2Rx8 dual-rank topology, CL16-18-18 XMP Profile 1, and dual XMP profile structure. The differences: the Predator carries a heavier, denser black heat spreader and higher brand prestige; the Fury’s 34.1mm low-profile spreader offers better CPU cooler clearance. If cooler clearance is a concern, the Fury /16 is the better choice. If maximum thermal headroom and the Predator aesthetic are the priority, this module delivers both in 16GB.

Check CPU cooler clearance: The Predator’s heat spreader is taller and heavier than the Fury’s low-profile design. Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing.

Compatibility & Warranty

The Intel XMP-ready and certified profiles are optimised for Intel’s latest chipsets and are compatible with many of AMD’s latest chipsets, covering AM4, LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported). Each 288-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers. Kingston backs this with 100% factory testing and a lifetime warranty.

The Gammix D45 is the all-black aluminium version of XPG’s D45 platform — the same thick, rugged heat spreader as the Spectrix D45G, but without the RGB light bar. The solid, armour-like aluminium exterior with rugged ridges delivers both a robust look and sturdy performance — an assertive, military-inspired aesthetic that suits dark-themed builds, closed-case systems, and anyone who wants imposing visual presence without the light show. For RGB builds the Spectrix D45G is the alternative; for maximum stealth with the same thermal mass and build quality, the D45 delivers.

Performance & XMP 2.0

The AX4U320016G16A-CBKD45 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-20-20 timings, non-ECC, at 1.2V–1.4V operating voltage range — with the DDR4-3200 XMP profile operating at 1.35V. Intel XMP 2.0 makes overclocking a snap and enhances system stability, allowing rated speed to be enabled without manually adjusting individual BIOS parameters. Without XMP enabled the module defaults to JEDEC base speed.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: Without activating XMP 2.0 in BIOS (or DOCP/EXPO on AMD), this module defaults to JEDEC speed — typically DDR4-2666 or lower. Enable XMP to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-20-20. This is normal behaviour, not a defect.

Quality & Compatibility

Using only the highest quality IC chips and PCBs, the GAMMIX D45 is made to deliver optimal stability and overclocking performance. The D45 has been tested and verified to work with the latest AMD platforms for hassle-free compatibility and excellent overclocking performance. Compatible across AM4 (Ryzen), LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported).

D45 vs D35

Both the D45 and D35 are non-RGB XPG Gammix modules with CL16 XMP 2.0 at DDR4-3200. The D35 prioritises low-profile clearance — its compact triangular heat spreader is specifically designed to avoid interfering with tower CPU coolers. The D45 trades that clearance advantage for a heavier, more visually imposing armoured design. If CPU cooler clearance is tight, the D35 is the safer choice; if clearance is confirmed and a bolder aesthetic is wanted, the D45 delivers it.

Check CPU cooler clearance: The D45’s thick armoured heat spreader is taller than the D35’s low-profile design. Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing.

The HX432C16PB3A/16 is where every feature in the HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB line converges in a single module: 16GB capacity, 2Rx8 dual-rank topology, CL16 XMP overclocking, Infrared Sync cable-free RGB, and the Predator’s signature dense black heat spreader — at 42.20mm height with full illumination across the top of the module. Nothing in this lineup exceeds it.

Infrared Sync RGB Lighting

The defining feature that separates the Predator RGB from every other module listed is HyperX’s patented Infrared Sync technology. Infrared Sync allows you to keep RGB effects synchronised across modules without the need for additional cables — modules communicate via infrared at up to 18mm working distance, enabling seamless lighting waves across multiple sticks in a populated build. The factory preset RGB wave lighting effect is active out of the box, with full customisation available via HyperX NGenuity software and sync compatibility with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync. The dense black aluminium heat spreader and matching black PCB keep the rig running and looking cool.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

Mirroring the non-RGB Predator /16 confirmed in the previous listing, the HX432C16PB3A/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module built on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — the same topology as the Fury RGB /16 and Predator /16. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, delivering improved effective memory bandwidth over single-rank 16GB alternatives at the same clock speed — a genuine advantage for memory-intensive gaming, content creation, and multitasking workloads.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Two hand-tuned profiles ensure rated CL16 performance on capable platforms while providing a reliable secondary profile for systems that can’t sustain DDR4-3200 under XMP Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility and stability.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Heat Spreader & Build Considerations

The module stands at 42.20mm (1.661″) with heatsink fitted — the tallest module in this entire memory range. The Predator RGB’s dense aluminium heat spreader provides excellent thermal mass for sustained XMP operation, but height clearance must be verified against your CPU cooler before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 42.20mm, this is the tallest module in the range. Confirm your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Flagship Positioning

The HX432C16PB3A/16 is the natural endpoint of the HyperX DDR4 lineup in this store. Compared to the Predator RGB /8: doubles capacity to 16GB and steps up to dual-rank. Compared to the Fury RGB /16: adds Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation and the heavier Predator heat spreader. Compared to the Predator non-RGB /16: adds the full Infrared Sync RGB system. For buyers who want the best single-stick DDR4-3200 module available in this range — no compromises on capacity, performance, or lighting — this is it.

Infrared Sync requires two modules: Infrared Sync’s seamless cross-module RGB waves require a second HX432C16PB3A/16 installed within 18mm. A single stick will still display the factory preset RGB wave effect independently.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and full Infrared Sync, add a second HX432C16PB3A/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

The Viper Steel RGB features a clean matte-black aluminium heat spreader bearing only the golden Viper logo and a removable specification sticker — keeping the design clutter-free and premium. At 44mm (1.73 inches) tall, the Viper Steel RGB is not excessively tall and should fit under the majority of CPU air coolers, though clearance should be confirmed before purchasing. The matte-black finish and gold accent create a striking visual contrast without being overstated — a confident aesthetic that suits both gaming and professional build aesthetics.

Five-Zone RGB Lighting

The RGB light bar features five customisable lighting zones. Patriot does not provide dedicated RGB control software for the Viper Steel RGB — lighting control relies on motherboard RGB sync software, with compatibility covering ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync. For builders already invested in any of these ecosystems, the Viper Steel RGB integrates seamlessly; those without a compatible motherboard should verify sync support before purchasing.

No standalone RGB software: RGB control requires compatible motherboard software (ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, or ASRock Polychrome Sync). Ensure your motherboard supports one of these ecosystems before purchasing.

Performance & XMP 2.0

The PVSR48G360C0 runs at DDR4-3600 (PC4-28800) with CL20-26-26-46 timings at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the module defaults to DDR4-2666 at 19-19-19-43 at stock. CL20 at DDR4-3600 is a looser primary timing profile than CL16 or CL18 alternatives at this frequency — the performance advantage over DDR4-3200 CL16 modules comes from raw bandwidth at the higher clock rate rather than lower absolute latency. DDR4-3600 remains the recognised sweet spot for AMD Ryzen DDR4 performance at the platform’s optimal 1:1 FCLK ratio.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2666 without XMP 2.0 activated in BIOS (or DOCP/EXPO on AMD). Enable XMP to unlock DDR4-3600 at CL20-26-26-46. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

CL20 note: The CL20 primary timing at DDR4-3600 is looser than the CL16 or CL18 found on some competing modules at the same frequency. The bandwidth advantage from the higher clock speed is the primary performance benefit over DDR4-3200 CL16 alternatives.

Quality & Compatibility

The Viper Steel memory modules are built for the latest Intel and AMD platforms, hand tested and validated for system compatibility, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Compatible across AM4 (Ryzen), LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported). As a single 8GB stick it operates in single-channel mode by default; pairing with a second matching module enables 16GB dual-channel.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and synchronised five-zone RGB lighting across both slots, install a second PVSR48G360C0 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 44mm tall, verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.
