Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 vs Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 is the lower-latency kit at 10.86 ns, against 11.25 ns for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 — a difference of 0.39 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 runs 6400 MT/s at CL36; Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 runs 7000 MT/s at CL38.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 is rated 7000 MT/s against 6400 MT/s for Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 — 56000 MB/s per module, against 51200 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Kit layout
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 is specified at 1.4 V and Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 does not have RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 runs 32-40-40-84, and Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 runs 30-40-40-76.
Which to buy
Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 has the lower true latency, 10.86 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 faster than Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38?
- Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 is, on true latency: 10.86 ns against 11.25 ns. Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 2x16GB CL36 runs 6400 MT/s at CL36 and Patriot Viper Elite 5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB 7000 CL38 runs 7000 MT/s at CL38; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
