16GB Single Module
The Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 16GB provides its full capacity through a single 16GB memory module.
This configuration can be useful for systems where users want to retain additional DIMM slots for future memory expansion.
Patriot notes that independently purchased single modules are not guaranteed to achieve advertised specifications when combined as though they were a validated dual-channel kit, so matched kits are preferred when guaranteed multi-module operation is required.
DDR5 6000MT/s Performance
The Viper Elite 5 RGB is rated for up to 6000MT/s on this specific SKU, providing high memory bandwidth for compatible modern DDR5 platforms.
Its tested performance profile runs at:
-
Speed: 6000MT/s
-
Timings: 42-42-42-82
-
CAS Latency: CL42
-
Voltage: 1.35V
The rated speed requires compatible hardware and the appropriate memory profile or BIOS configuration.
Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO
The Viper Elite 5 series supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO memory overclocking profiles.
These profiles allow compatible Intel and AMD systems to apply validated performance settings more easily through the motherboard BIOS.
RGB Lighting
The Viper Elite 5 RGB features an integrated RGB light bar designed for customizable gaming PC lighting.
Patriot supports its own Viper RGB Sync solution, and the memory is designed to integrate with compatible RGB ecosystems for synchronized lighting effects.
White Aluminum Heat Spreader
The Viper Elite 5 RGB uses a distinctive white aluminum heat spreader, giving the memory a clean appearance suited to white and RGB-focused PC builds.
Patriot states that the Elite 5 series uses high-quality aluminum components and selected ICs designed for performance and overclocking capability.
Base DDR5 Specifications
At its standard base configuration, this SKU uses:
-
Base Speed: 4800MT/s
-
Base Timings: 40-40-40-77
-
Base Voltage: 1.1V
The 6000MT/s rated performance is achieved through its supported performance profile on compatible systems.
DDR5 On-Die ECC
DDR5 includes On-Die ECC technology within the memory chips to help improve internal data integrity.
This should not be confused with traditional system-level ECC memory used by supported workstation and server platforms. This Viper Elite 5 module is a standard Non-ECC Unbuffered U-DIMM for consumer desktop systems.
Important Notice
This product is supplied as a Tray Version.
To reach the advertised 6000MT/s speed, the processor, motherboard, BIOS, and memory configuration must support the required memory settings.
This listing corresponds to the known PVER516G60C42W configuration. If the physical module has a different Part Number, its exact timings and specifications should be checked before using this data as SKU-specific information.
