I think mine is the non-RGB since it was slightly fair in price. I haven't seen it since I ordered it. I bought 2 separate 16 GB sticks for a total of 32 GB. Since they are the same with CL30, it would run fine.

Is this compatible with ASRock B650M-C?

Yes! The ram kit in question is ddr5, and the motherboard supports ddr5 standard ram, so it should work just as intended

What memory timings and voltage does this 16GB DDR5 module use?

It uses CL30 timings with 30-40-40-76 timing and operates at 1.35V.

Is this 16GB Viper Elite 5 DDR5 6000 memory compatible with Intel Ultra (Arrow Lake) CPUs?

No. The product description states that it is not compatible with Intel Ultra (Arrow Lake) CPUs.

How is the stability of the PATRIOT VIPER ELITE 5 Ultra DDR5 RAM?

I am using the Patriot Viper Elite 5 with two sticks of 16GB on the ASUS Tuf Gaming B850 Plus Wifi alongside a 7600X3D and the AMD Expo is working great. It's running at the "overclocked" 6000 MHz.

Does the PATRIOT VIPER ELITE 5 Ultra DDR5 16GB support XMP and expo profiles?

It definitely supports XMP. It worked instantly with my ASUS mobo and my 7600X3D

Manufacturer Contact Info

The Patriot Viper Elite 5 VEB516G6030W is a white, single-stick 16GB DDR5-6000 desktop memory module with CL30 timing and XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, suited to compatible AMD and Intel 13th- or 14th-generation builds seeking high-speed memory.

Recommended For

PC builders who need one 16GB DDR5 module now and plan to add a second later; Patriot cautions that mixing modules can affect advertised performance, so a matched pair is preferable.
Builders with a compatible AMD or Intel 13th/14th Gen system who want a single stick with both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles available.
Budget-conscious PC users whose current workload fits within 16GB and who accept that one DIMM may limit performance in some games compared with two modules.
Builders creating a white-themed desktop who want a white heat spreader without memory-module lighting.

Real-World Use Scenarios

In a budget DDR5 gaming PC, this 16GB module can provide memory for gaming and everyday apps; because it is a single stick, plan for a compatible second module if you want more capacity and a two-module setup.
For a general-purpose desktop used for web browsing, office apps, and video streaming, 16GB can cover a light everyday workload; running many apps or browser tabs alongside other tasks may make the capacity feel limiting.
When setting up a compatible AMD or Intel DDR5 system, enabling the supported EXPO or XMP profile in BIOS can apply the module’s rated memory settings without entering timings manually; confirm the motherboard and CPU support the profile.
For a staged PC build, start with this one 16GB stick and leave a slot available for a future compatible module; adding memory later can increase capacity, but check the motherboard’s guidance and be aware that combining modules is not guaranteed to run at the rated profile.
