Packaging

Taking a quick look at the packaging, Patriot has gone with a different approach with the Xtreme 5 series. Instead of an exceptionally brightly colored red box used for its Viper Venom lineup, the focus here is the memory. Subtle design elements accentuate the "Xtreme" nature of this memory. Information on the box is easy to digest, with a sticker in the right corner indicating this specific kit's bin. Across the bottom is the product branding and RGB badges indicating supported ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync motherboard RGB software.

Flip the box around and on each DIMM, the SKU number, CAS timing, and operating voltage can be seen through the cutout. Patriot also has a QR code that can be scanned, sending you to the product page for further information.


The box has some tape to prevent anything from falling out during shipping. Once cut and removed from the outer packaging; the memory sticks are secured and protected from minor damage with a clamshell inside the outer box. Included is a Viper Gaming sticker too!
