Product overview

Patriot’s Viper Elite 5 DDR5 16GB 5600 MT/s (model VEB516G5636W) is part of the Viper Elite 5 family announced on July 12, 2023 for modern DDR5 desktops. This single‑module, CL36, 288‑pin UDIMM includes standard DDR5 on‑die error correction and an aluminum heat spreader, with ready XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles.

Positioned as mainstream DDR5, it exists to offer an affordable, widely compatible step up to 5600 MT/s. It suits gaming and budget builds targeting stable 5600 speeds on Intel (XMP) and AMD Ryzen (EXPO). As a lone 16GB stick it runs single‑channel now but leaves a free slot for an easy upgrade to 32GB later. Not discontinued as of July 2026.
