Patriot Memory Viper Xtreme 5 RGB 2x16Gb PVXR532G78C38K

Leader of the peloton

Patriot Viper Extreme 5 RGB is one of the fastest whales of RAM, which exists not only on paper. Its frequency is 7800 MHz or, more precisely, MT/s, that is, millions of transactions per second. Moreover, the price is only slightly higher than that of DDR5 with a typical frequency of 5600-6400 MHz. Another thing is that you will need a flagship motherboard and an Intel processor with the K index.

Backup plan

For a simpler computer, there are two alternative XMP profiles. The first one is 7600 MHz at CL36 and 1.45 volts, the second one is 7400 MHz with exactly the same timings and supply voltage. The lower frequency profile is clearly aimed at the Ryzen 8000G series of processors with a powerful iGPU. Even the lack of support for AMD EXPO auto-overclocking will not be a problem.

Shines in unison

The radiators here are not just for beauty, but really effectively dissipate heat. The RGB backlight adds visual gloss, which can be synchronized with other PC components using Gigabyte Fusion, MSI Mystic, ASUS Aura or ASRock Polychrome technology. The Viper Extreme 5 series has even faster 8200 MHz memory, but without RGB.
