Patriot Viper Venom 6200 C40 Series 16GB DDR5 6200MHz CL40 Review
Comparing the Patriot Viper Venom 6200 C40 Series in 16GB DDR5? This is Patriot's no-RGB gaming line at 6200MT/s CL40.
CL40 at 6200MT/s is a looser timing than the tighter-binned Venom modules, so this sits at the budget end of the AM5-friendly speed range.
Performance
6200MT/s CL40 computes to a 12.9ns true latency, noticeably behind the CL30-CL36 Venom bins at similar or lower speeds, but it's still within AM5's efficient speed range.
Comparison to Alternatives
The matched Patriot Viper Venom PVV532G600C36K (6000MHz CL36) already in our catalog offers tighter timings at a very similar speed and is the better buy if the price difference is small.
