Patriot Viper Venom RGB 5600 C36 Series 16GB DDR5 5600MHz CL36 Review
Looking for the Patriot Viper Venom RGB 5600 C36 Series in 16GB DDR5? This is the RGB entry point into Patriot's mainstream gaming line at 5600MT/s.
5600MT/s CL36 is below the DDR5 sweet spot most current platforms target, so we'd treat this as a budget RGB pick rather than a performance-first choice.
Performance
A 12.9ns true latency and sub-6000MT/s speed put this at the entry tier of DDR5 — it'll work fine for everyday use but won't compete with 6000MT/s+ kits on gaming frame times.
Comparison to Alternatives
For the same RGB Venom look with better performance, the Patriot Viper Venom RGB PVVR532G600C36K (6000MHz CL36) already in our catalog is a stronger buy at a similar price point.
