Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6000 C42 Series 24GB DDR5 6000MHz CL42 White Review
Looking for the Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6000 C42 Series in a white 24GB DDR5 module? This is Patriot's entry-level RGB line built for white-and-RGB build themes.
CL42 is a loose timing for 6000MT/s, so the Viper Elite 5 RGB trades tight latency for its white heatsink, RGB bar, and lower price versus the Xtreme 5/Venom lines.
Performance
6000MT/s CL42 works out to a 14.0ns true latency, the loosest timing in Patriot's Viper DDR5 lineup we carry — it's a budget-RGB module, not a performance pick.
Comparison to Alternatives
The matched Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6000 C42 Series 48GB (2x24GB) white kit is in our catalog at this same spec; for tighter timings at the same speed, the Patriot Viper Venom PVV532G600C36K (6000MHz CL36, black) is the better performer.
