Patriot Viper VENOM RGB UDIMM 32GB Kit, DDR5-7400, CL36-44-44-110

Patriot Viper Venom RGB is an exciting memory series. The stock performance is within the expected range (7400 MHz is an outstanding performer), and the Intel XMP 3.0 profile makes life easier (you also get the higher frequency XMP for the ROG motherboards). The relatively low-profile heat spreader (43 mm/1.69 inches), so you shouldn’t encounter clearance problems with more extensive air CPU coolers. Some headroom (tighter timings/more frequency) is still available, as we reached the 7800 MHz with CL38-46-46-115. 32 GB is becoming a standard even in gaming set-ups (for the DDR5 systems), also because of the introduction of the new RAM standard. The current price for the DDR5s is decreasing rapidly, thanks to the AM5 platform introduction. We want to give Patriot Viper Venom RGB the “Guru3D Approved” award for this kit as it’s (more than) fast enough out of the box. You get customizable RGB lighting. There are no color variants available; the radiator is black and silver. The temperature for such a high-frequency kit is very low, and the aluminum heat spreaders are effective. We didn't like the fact that the voltage wasn't 1.45 V as advertised, but 1.5 V. Why does the XMP differentiate so much, Patriot? The 7400 MHz on Amazon is only 119.99 USD, so it’s a good deal.
