Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 16 GB (1x16GB DDR5-5600)

The Patriot Viper Elite 5 RGB 16 GB comes as a single module with 16GB of DDR5 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.1V, friendly to low-power and quiet builds. It is specced for 5600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 38, working out to a true latency of about 13.6ns. DDR5 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for current AM5 and LGA1851 platforms.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 6000 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $229.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
