Patriot Memory Announces DDR4-3733 Variants of Viper 4 and Viper Elite Series
Patriot, a leading manufacturer of high performance computer memory, SSDs, gaming peripherals, consumer flash storage solutions and mobile accessories, today announced the immediate release of its new extreme performance Viper 4 and high performance Viper Elite DDR4 in 3733 MHz dual kits.
Expanding Patriot's extreme performance and high performance DDR4 memory lines, the 3733 MHz Viper 4 and Viper Elite dual channel kits are designed for optimal use with the latest Intel X99 and 100 series motherboards. With consumers utilizing more taxing professional applications, large capacity PC games and having a need for higher memory optimization, the Viper 4 and Viper Elite will present unsurpassed performance and reliability that only 30 years of DRAM experience can deliver.
"Patriot is very excited to announce its fastest kits yet," said Les Henry, Patriot's VP of Engineering. "Not only were we able to hit 3733 MHz, but we were able to do it with higher capacity 16 GB kits."
Available in 16GB (2 x 8 GB) dual kits, both the Viper 4 and Viper Elite 3733MHz will deliver tested timings of 17-19-19-39 and pull 1.35V of power. Patriot's extreme performance heat shields will ensure the rapid dissipation of heat to maintain ideal system temperatures and stability while still maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance to compliment any system build. XMP 2.0 ready and backed by a lifetime warranty, all Viper 4 series memory modules are hand tested and validated for system compatibility.
Availability
Patriot's Viper 4 and Viper Elite 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3733MHz dual kits will be available for purchase online and in stores August 3, 2016 for a starting MSRP of $159.99.

the most sexiest memory kit ever, i really regret selling mine....
Regards,
But hey, if its good its good and that is all that matters.
My 2 cents.

I've been told that since we hit the 2000 mark, it's all been pretty insignificant in terms of gains. Is that accurate?
Yet at the same time, the same can be said for faster CPUs... does that mean we should all buy the lowest possible?
When it comes to high-density DIMMs, higher speeds and relatively tight timings offset the loss of performance from the larger IC size.
As to the timings, they are pretty good to begin with; consider 2133 MHz JEDEC spec is 15-15-15. These sticks will also offer bandwidth that greatly exceeds anything DDR3 could offer.

Latency on the other hand doesn't matter that much since both AMD and Intel shifted to the integrated memory controllers (IMC) after the C2D era. Right now it seems 16GB DDR4 3200 is the sweet spot as such kits can be found on Newegg for $68-80. The next level up is DDR4 3466 which tends to sell for $100-110.
* It makes sense why in the past you were gunning for CL4-4-4 timings as Pentium 4/D and Core 2 Duo still did not have an IMC which introduced a latency penalty that lower CL memory compensated for.
Patriot will need to be more competitive on the pricing though as G.Skill Trident 16GB DDR4 3733 CL 17-17-17 kit is $159.99
