Patriot Gamer Series 4GB PC3 12800 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory Review

B.E.M.P. has its benefits and, unlike XMP (Intel's memory profile), it is not placed in the chip's SPD, allowing the memory manufacturer the ability to change the profile at anytime, if they develop more enhanced settings. The major benefit of the B.E.M.P. is that the work of fine tuning your system's memory is done for you, with just a click of a button, after you download AMD Overdrive. Patriot Memory has manufactured a line of B.E.M.P. Memory as part of their Gamer Series modules. The Patriot Memory DDR3 Gamer Series for AMD Black Edition is Dual Channel DDR3 memory and is available in both DDR3 10666 1333MHz and 12800 1600MHz.
