Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB vs Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB in detail
True latency
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB is the lower-latency kit at 12.00 ns, against 16.43 ns for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB — a difference of 4.43 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. Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL46; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB is rated 6000 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB — 48000 MB/s per module, against 44800 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
Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB is specified at 1.1 V and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB at 1.25 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB is published with RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Crucial DDR5-5600 Desktop Memory 2x16GB runs 46-45-45, and Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB runs 36-36-36-76.
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 Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB has the lower true latency, 12.00 ns.
