Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra DDR5-6000 Spec and Price in the United Kingdom
DDR52x16GBUDIMM9.33 ns true latency
Patriot's Elite 5 Ultra is the line aimed at LLM and generative-AI work, and this 32GB (2x16GB) kit runs the 6000 MT/s class at CL28 with 28-40-40-100 timings at 1.4V — a tighter latency grade than the regular Elite 5's CL30. Modules are hand-tested, with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles and a non-RGB UDIMM layout, per Patriot's own product page.
Tied 40th of 139 models in the RAM catalog on Speed — 33 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Reviewers identify the SK hynix M-die ICs as the kit's key asset and expect strong performance and substantial overclocking headroom from them.
- The non-RGB version uses a low-profile layout with a 1.1V JEDEC baseline, and it posted on the reviewer's Z890 test board without any issue.
- Owners describe it as a good-value route to a fast 6000-speed kit, and some use it to add capacity on a budget.
- The second XMP or EXPO profile is stable for owners who find the headline latency too aggressive, and many simply run the looser profile.
- Owners who ran memory tests report the modules perform as intended once tuned.
- The RGB lighting is liked, and the version without lighting suits builders who want a clean look.
Commonly criticised
- At press time its price was high because of the DDR5 supply shortage, and reviewers frame it as a high-capacity, workstation-oriented kit rather than a value pick.
- Multiple owners report the advertised tight-latency profile is unstable, causing crashes or memory test errors until the timings are relaxed.
- The RGB covers or light diffusers are reported to detach under heat, a recurring complaint.
- Owners note the heatspreader does not cool both sides of the dual-rank modules evenly.
