Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 8200 C38 Series 24GB DDR5 8200MHz CL38 Review

Need the Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 8200 C38 Series in a 24GB DDR5 module? This is Patriot's flagship low-latency line in an odd-capacity 24GB stick at an extreme 8200MT/s.

24GB modules exist to hit 48GB or 96GB totals on modern boards that support odd-capacity DIMMs; this is only worth it on an Intel platform that's actually validated for 8000MT/s+ DDR5.

Performance

8200MT/s CL38 computes to a 9.3ns true latency, near the top of what Patriot publishes for Viper Xtreme 5 and best suited to Intel Z790/Z890 boards rather than AM5.

Comparison to Alternatives

Our catalog carries the matched Patriot Viper Xtreme 5 8200 C38 Series 48GB (2x24GB) kit at this same speed, buy that directly if you want a guaranteed-matched dual-channel pair instead of two of this single module.
