I was checking some prices for the new (and first) SSD I'm going to buy, and there are two options:
1- PATRIOT P300 (256GB) (Gen3 m.2)
2- LEXAR NS100 (256GB) (SATA 2.5")
the prices are the exact same! [8,490,000IRR = 16.5USD] + it's on a reliable site so I'm pretty sure it's not a scam
So I...
Hi,
I'm searching for a 500GB SSD (NVMe of course) to plug into the 2nd M.2 slot of the Asrock B550M Steel Legend motherboard that I'll be buying soon, and that slot is PCIe Gen 3 x4 if I remember correctly, so I don't necessarily need a Gen 4 SSD.
HOWEVER, if the one Gen 4 SSD that I will be...
Hello everyone. My PC was running fine a month ago and while I was using it someone called my name so I turned around to hear them because I had headphones on. Now one thing to note is that my PC is on the ground so when I turned, my foot hit the PC and then it shut off and turned back on...
I am currently running the 5900x with 32gb (2x16) Patriot Viper Steel 3200mhz CL18 on a B550x motherboard.
3ds max eats the ram like nothing, especially on larger projects, and was contemplating about upgrading to Viper Steel 3600mhz CL16 (2x32gb), leaving space for future upgrade.
Thing is...
is the cheapest and is it really good? because generic ssds are cheap but bad.
I wanted a cheap ssd that lasts a few years and doesn't burn out after a few months of use, like the generic ones.
Hello all,
I am currently facing the following issue with one of my SSDs. Initially it had very slow and inconsistent read/ write speeds, as shown in picture 1

I'm wondering whether my hp pro 3500 series on i3 3240 will work with patriot 8gb ram ddr3 1333mhz. It says that it is compatible with 2nd generation intel (2000) and amd 9 series. My processor is Intel 3rd generation but frankly I see no reason it should not work with it (even though it is...
Hi guys,
I am planning to build my gaming PC within January next year but I need to buy RAM now.
I am not sure about specs of my future PC but guess it will be something like i5-10400 or Ryzen 7 3700X along with maybe GTX1660S or newer GPU (depending on prices). I can spend approx 1K USD in...

So a few days ago I upgraded my 2 sticks of HyperX Fury 4GB 2133MHz DDR4 memory to 2 sticks of Patriot Viper Steel 8GB 3200MHz.
My motherboard supports only up to 2400MHz RAM, but I have read on the internet that faster RAM will just downclock to the mobo maximum and everything will be OK.

I recently built my friend a new PC a few weeks ago, it was my first build, he didn't have enough funds for the entire build in a single check and wanted to get it operational for a minimum of $500. So I decided to go with a Ryzen 3400G (YD3400C5FHBOX ), an ASRock B450M/AC Micro ATX, and two...
Hey guys, I was just wondering, is it ok to use different frequency memory sticks in different channels? I have a MSI b350 Gaming Plus which has 4 memory slots but only allows dual channel, not quad. I’m currently using 2x4gb Patriot Viper 2133mhz DDR4 and want to add some more. Should I buy...
Just slapped in my upgrade for the year (32GB memory) and ran into something i have never seen before. My speccy program thinks i am running my sticks at a much lower frequency than my BIOS and XTU does! My system is a bit older so my motherboard max RAM frequency is 1866MHz (increased from 1600...
Hello,

I am interested in buying this Patriot memory:
Patriot Viper Steel 16GB DDR4-3600MHz (PVS416G360C7K)
I also have a B450 MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard and a Ryzen 3600. Is there anyone who tried this motherboard-ram combination? I want to know for sure if i will be able to use...
I just ordered all the parts for my new build. This includes:
32gb of Patriot Viper Steel Series 4000mhz ram made up of of two lots of 2x8gb dual channel kits
ASUS Tuf Gaming-Plus x570 Wifi mobo
Ryzen 7 3700X
I didn't realise there was a difference between dual channel and quad channel. I also...
I recently got a used Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 rev 4.0 and it’s the only new part of my build so I can verify all the other parts are working. I originally got one a few weeks ago and had the same issue so I sent it back thinking it was DOA. Now with the second one I’m wondering if it’s user...
The patriot scorch nvme is not listed under my mobo m.2 drive compatibility list. Will it still work?
Also, I don't know if this should be in the storage category or motherboard category can someone tell me.
Hello everyone, I'm kind of new to this, I bought this set of ram some time ago: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/20c502_0f363e2c540748d084884ac390903fcc.pdf and I have been having some trouble trying to overclock it to 2933 mhz.
This is my system as shown in the bios:

There's no steel here, but the performance is real: Patriot’s DDR4-4400 kit is the best-performing 2x8GB model we’ve tested. Read more here.

Hello everyone. I'm running a ryzen 3 1200 currently running at 3.7 GHz overclocked. I was wondering that if I OC my CPU, it should stay 3.7 constant, right? (I'm not sure.) However, it doesn't ever reach 3.7 GHz EVER (And when I mean ever, I mean EVER), but rather 3.5-3.6 GHz when I'm running...

So do I need a new PSU?

Hey, so I upgraded my PC. I went from an ATX build to a Mini-ITX build. I have stuck with MSI for motherboards as my last one was great. However, in this system my ethernet seems to be a lot worse? I can't see any software reasons for this and have installed the latest drivers. Could it be...

GTX 1070 8gb
I5-8700k or I5-9600k
Thank you in advanced,
