PATRIOT VIPER VENOM DDR5 32GB 6200MHz Memory Review

A Closer Look

The overall design of the Venom modules is quite industrious with a mix of colours and materials. The majority of the modules are black, allowing it to tie in with most systems, though the red branding may put some people off, though I’m sure once the RGB is on, that will be the last thing you’d notice.

Turning the module over, it’s a similar story, with the same two-tone design. The only difference is that on this side, there’s a barcode sticker giving us the product code, which again, makes it easy to find out specific product information if you need to.

Along the top, we find the single light bar which spans from one end of the module to another, and some more small, and subtle Viper branding.

Stripping the heatspreaders off, we get our first look of the modules themselves, sporting a full black PCB, as you’d expect on something as high-end as this, and we can see the eight 2GB ICs as well as the voltage regulator in the middle.

For those who are unaware, one of the big changes with DDR5 was to move the voltage regulator from the motherboard and placing it directly onto the RAM itself. This is one of the reasons why DDR5 is more expensive than DDR4.

Taking a closer look at the ICs themselves reveals that they are made by SK Hynix with the part number H5CG48MEBD X014 208A. As with most of the DDR5 kits we’ve looked at recently, not much is known about these chips, but as they become more widely used, I’m sure we’ll start to see what they’re capable of.

Turning the module around, the other side is blank, other than some circuitry for controlling and operating the LEDs which are soldered into the PCB itself.

Taking a closer look at the controller, it’s one that we’ve seen used before on other branded kits from Ene.

If you want to see how the RGB looks when all lit up, we’ve prepared a video that you can check out below.
