Question 1

is this dual channel?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: Yes, because there’s two sticks of the same capacity.

Long answer: Dual channel is an attribute of the motherboard, not the memory. Basically pretty much any modern consumer motherboard has two memory controllers, giving you two channels. Putting one stick on each controller gives you dual channel performance, which is higher than single channel. Consult the motherboard manual for instructions on where to put each stick to achieve dual channel.

Question 2

Will the Patriot Viper kit work to replace this https://www.newegg.com/p/0RN-004S-00032 in my iBuyPower desktop?

Accepted Answer

You should verify that your BIOS can support the memory speed you want to run these at. 
Your BIOS may not support the full speed(4000) of these rams however you can run them slower.  Note that a XMP2 supported motherboard will work with these easily. Some motherboards have very manual parameter support for memory and require some effort to get the speed set Non-kit computers tend to not have much in the way of component customization. You may wish to wait until you upgrade your computer with an appropriate motherboard.  If you game you may wish to consider upgrading your GPU instead.

Question 3

Does gigabyte aorus master z390 board support this ram?  I know it supports the speed.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

This kit should work with that board but I would reach out to the manufacturer to confirm just to be on the safe side before purchasing.  It looks like another customer was able to confirm they worked together without issues, hope this helps!
