Viper Elite 5 16GB DDR5 6000 CL30

This 16GB DDR5 module runs at 6000 MT/s with CL30 timing and 1.35 V. It uses an aluminum heat spreader and supports Intel XMP 3.0 plus AMD EXPO profiles. The kit is a single 288-pin DIMM built for desktop systems.

Intel 13‑14 Gen and AMD 600‑800 Series Fit

Tested compatibility covers Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets including Z690 and Z790, plus AMD 600 and 800 series platforms. It is not compatible with Intel Ultra Arrow Lake CPUs. Builders on those newer Intel parts should choose a different module.

CL30 at 6000 MT/s Decides Fit

The decisive spec is the 30‑40‑40‑76 timing at 6000 MT/s. If your board and CPU combination can run this latency at the rated speed the kit will deliver the advertised performance; otherwise a lower latency or slower module may be more stable.

Questions about this item

Will this module work with my Intel Z690 or Z790 motherboard?

Yes, it is validated for Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets including Z690 and Z790, and supports XMP 3.0 for one-click 6000 MT/s operation.

Does the kit require a specific CPU generation to reach 6000 MT/s?

It is rated for Intel 13th and 14th generation and AMD 600 and 800 series platforms; it is not compatible with Intel Ultra Arrow Lake processors.

What voltage and timing do I need to set in BIOS if XMP is not enabled?

The JEDEC default will apply; to run at the rated 6000 MT/s CL30 you must enable the XMP 3.0 or EXPO profile which sets 1.35 V and 30-40-40-76 timings.
