“The VIPER VENOM DDR5 memory kits include the RGB and Non-RGB versions. The new design of the VENOM heatshield combines the unique RGB light bar and custom aluminum heat spreader featuring matte black/silver patterned graphics. The high-quality modules feature a built-in thermal sensor for performance monitoring, while the excellent heat dissipation helps prevent the hazard of overheating. The physical height of the module can avoid interference with most CPU coolers on the market. In addition, the RGB light bar is an entirely new design with updated synchronization software and illumination patterns. Most importantly, all VENOM RGB DDR5 modules are 100% compatible with ASUS, ASROCK, GIGABYTE, and MSI’s latest motherboards and can be synced with their RGB systems.

The VIPER VENOM DDR5 memory kit supports the latest Intel XMP 3.0 profile overclocking and delivers precision and stability to customize the performance to match specific overclocking tasks easily. The unique architecture of DDR5 memory features localized voltage adjustments based on a locked/unlocked PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) and SPD HUB (Serial Presence Detection), which can provide simultaneous monitoring, and threshold protection, intelligent voltage control, and power management to achieve more comprehensive voltage control. Moreover, the on-die ECC function enables active error correction to improve data integrity and enhance performance and stability. Each module is built using a ten-layer PCB and strictly sorted ICs to offer excellent signal integrity and unmatched reliability to the system performance.”

Enough with the marketing stuff here, so we can proceed to the essence. Let’s see what we have under the hood. Unfortunately, the Thaiphoon Burner, an excellent utility for checking the essential data on a RAM – cannot be used for the DDR5, as JEDEC doesn’t want to provide the needed information. CPU-Z then. It shows that Hynix is the DRAM manufacturer. 

Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with photo-shooting and the practical part (benchmark/games). You put the sticks in, enable XMP (which is, in fact, the industry standard, and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. The chips are covered with a heatsink to ensure that the memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance.
