Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6200 C42 Series 32GB DDR5 6200MHz CL42 White Review
Need the Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6200 C42 Series in a white 32GB DDR5 module? This is Patriot's entry-level RGB line at a higher capacity point.
It's built for white-and-RGB build themes rather than tight timings; CL42 leaves it behind the Xtreme 5 and Venom lines on latency at any given speed.
Performance
6200MT/s CL42 computes to a 13.5ns true latency, a loose timing typical of the Viper Elite 5 RGB's budget-RGB positioning.
Comparison to Alternatives
The matched Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 6200 C42 Series 64GB (2x32GB) white kit is in our catalog at this exact spec; the Patriot Viper Venom PVV564G640C32K (64GB, 6400MHz CL32, black) is the better performer if RGB and white aren't required.
