Target prices are calculation thresholds under today's dataset; where none exist, the row says so instead of showing blanks. Recalculated on every data refresh.

Prices are the cheapest total (item plus shipping) we recorded for a New, in-stock offer on that day. Value and rank here are measured against products whose record is under review — the set this product actually competes in — so they will not match a Value Score computed over the whole catalogue elsewhere on this page. A previous-generation part is ranked among previous-generation parts, because that is the choice a buyer of one is actually making.

| Rated speed | 6000 MT/s |
| CAS / first-word latency | CL30 · 10 ns |
| Form factor | 288-pin DIMM |

FAQ
- What is a good price for the Patriot Viper 16GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 right now?
- The price targets at the top of this page are calculation thresholds, not forecasts: they say what the competing offers in the 2026-08-21 frame would have to be beaten by under the balanced weighting. Two caveats worth knowing — they move when the rest of the market moves, even if this product's own price doesn't; and hitting a target says the PRICE is good, not that the product suits your job (that's what the tier badges above answer). Change the weighting in the calculator and the targets change with it.
