Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 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 12.67 ns for Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB — a difference of 0.67 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. Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 6000 MT/s at CL38; Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 2x16GB CL36 RGB runs 6000 MT/s at CL36.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 6000 MT/s, which is 48000 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
Kit layout
Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 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
Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 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: Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB is published with 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: Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB runs 38-48-48-96, 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.
