Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 2 DDR3-1866 8GB Dual Channel Memory Kit Review

A little while ago we took a look at Patriot’s Viper Xtreme triple channel memory that is designed for Intel X58 systems.  Today we are checking out the Viper Xtreme Division 2 Edition memory which is designed for Intel’s 2nd generation “Sandy Bridge” Core processors.  This memory has been rigorously tested and validated on the Intel  6 Series platform to achieve maximum performance and stability.  The Division 2 memory has all of the same features as the original Viper Xtreme memory like the 6 gram copper core and aircraft-grade aluminum heatspreaders.  Today we will be putting the 8GB DDR3-1866 kit to the test.

Special thanks to Patriot for providing us with the Viper Xtreme Division 2 DDR3-1866 8GB Dual Channel Memory Kit to review.
