The KCP432NS6/8 is an 8GB DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600) unbuffered, non-ECC U-DIMM running at 1.2V in a single-rank x16 configuration on a 288-pin form factor. It carries no heat spreader — in keeping with Kingston’s value-tier design philosophy — and operates within standard DDR4 thermal envelopes without requiring additional airflow. The single-rank x16 topology is the most commonly deployed configuration for mainstream desktop memory and ensures broad motherboard compatibility.

Performance Profile

At CL22 and 3200MHz, this module sits in the same performance bracket as comparable JEDEC-standard sticks from ADATA and others at this speed grade. There is no XMP profile — the module runs at its rated 3200MHz natively via JEDEC specification, so no BIOS configuration is needed to achieve advertised speeds. The 288-pin DIMM design delivers dependable performance with reliable access to data across a wide range of workloads.

No XMP on this module: Speed is achieved through JEDEC compliance, not an XMP profile. This simplifies deployment but means there is no overclocking headroom. What you see is what you get — and for most business and productivity use cases, that’s exactly the point.

Compatibility

Kingston memory is designed, manufactured, and rigorously tested to meet the exact specifications of each brand-name system, and is guaranteed to be compatible across a wide range of platforms. The KCP432NS6/8 is compatible with mainstream Intel and AMD DDR4 desktop motherboards. As a single 8GB stick it can be used standalone or paired with a second module in a dual-channel configuration — check your motherboard manual for the correct slot pairing.

Single stick = single channel: For full dual-channel bandwidth, install a second identical module in the appropriate paired slot on your motherboard. Refer to your board’s manual for the recommended configuration.

The Predator DDR4 RGB is one of the most recognisable gaming memory modules ever produced, and the HX432C16PB3A/8 carries that pedigree in full. The dense black aluminium heat spreader and matching black PCB keep your rig running and looking cool, with smooth, stunning RGB lighting effects bringing your battlestation to life.

The standout feature is HyperX’s patented Infrared Sync technology: Infrared Sync allows you to keep RGB effects synchronised across modules without the need for additional cables — the modules communicate via infrared at up to 18mm working distance, enabling seamless lighting waves across sticks in a multi-module build. The factory preset RGB wave lighting effect is active out of the box, with full customisation available via HyperX NGenuity software and compatibility with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

Performance & Dual XMP Profiles

XMP Profile #1 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-18-18 timings at 1.35V. XMP Profile #2 provides a fallback at DDR4-3000 with CL15-17-17 at 1.35V — a secondary profile that ensures rated overclocking performance on platforms that may not fully support DDR4-3200 from XMP Profile 1. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 in your motherboard BIOS (Profile 1 for DDR4-3200 CL16, Profile 2 for DDR4-3000 CL15 as a fallback). Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

Build Quality & IC Topology

The HX432C16PB3A/8 is a 1Rx8 single-rank module built on eight 1G×8-bit FBGA components with gold contact fingers and a module height of 42.20mm (1.661″). The 1Rx8 configuration delivers excellent signal integrity for both single and multi-stick configurations. Predator DDR4 RGB is Intel XMP certified with profiles optimised for Intel’s latest chipsets.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 42.20mm tall, the Predator’s heat spreader is taller than standard heatspreadless modules. Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Compatibility & Warranty

The Intel XMP-ready and certified profiles are optimised for Intel’s latest chipsets and are compatible with many of AMD’s latest chipsets — just select the profile and you’re ready to go. The module is 100% factory tested and backed by a lifetime warranty. As a single 8GB stick it operates in single-channel mode; pairing with a second HX432C16PB3A/8 enables dual-channel and, critically, unlocks the full effect of HyperX’s Infrared Sync for seamless cross-module RGB waves.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and synchronised Infrared Sync RGB lighting across both modules, pair with a second HX432C16PB3A/8 in your motherboard’s recommended dual-channel slots.

The HX432C16FB3/8 stands at just 34.1mm (1.3425″) with its heatsink fitted — making it one of the most cooler-friendly CL16 gaming memory modules available. Where the HyperX Predator RGB reaches 42.2mm, the Fury comes in more than 8mm shorter, comfortably clearing the RAM overhang zones of almost all large tower CPU coolers. The revised black aluminium heat spreader gives it a clean, premium look without contributing unnecessary height or weight to the build.

Plug N Play Auto-Overclocking

A standout feature that sets HyperX FURY apart from other DDR4-3200 modules is its Plug N Play auto-overclocking capability. FURY DDR4 features Plug N Play automatic overclocking at 2400MHz and 2666MHz speeds, providing a performance boost without requiring any manual BIOS configuration on compatible platforms. On Intel systems that support XMP, enabling XMP Profile 1 in BIOS takes the module to its full DDR4-3200 CL16 rated speed — and on platforms with Plug N Play support, the system handles intermediate speed optimisation automatically.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-18-18 timings at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 with CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. The inclusion of two hand-tuned profiles means the Fury can deliver rated CL16 performance on capable systems while still offering a reliable secondary profile for platforms that struggle with DDR4-3200 from XMP Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your motherboard BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best results.

AMD note: AMD Ryzen systems will boot at the JEDEC default speed and latency with FURY. To enable the factory overclock speed and latency, XMP Profile 1 must be selected manually in the BIOS.

IC Quality & Build

The module is a 1Rx8 single-rank design built on eight 1G×8-bit FBGA components with gold contact fingers and a 288-pin form factor. Depending on batch, the HX432C16FB3/8 uses Samsung B-die or Micron Rev.E ICs — both widely supported across mainstream Intel and AMD chipsets. Kingston backs this with 100% factory testing at rated speeds and a lifetime warranty.

Compatibility

The Fury is compatible across mainstream Intel (Core 6th generation onwards) and AMD Ryzen DDR4 platforms, covering AM4, LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported).

The Fury RGB takes the Fury’s proven platform and adds a full-length illuminated RGB diffuser strip along the top of the module. Unlike the Predator RGB’s cable-free Infrared Sync, the Fury RGB relies on software sync via motherboard RGB ecosystems — making it compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, as well as HyperX’s own NGenuity software for standalone lighting customisation. The black aluminium heat spreader and black PCB carry over from the non-RGB Fury, with the illuminated diffuser sitting above the spreader for a clean, layered aesthetic.

The addition of the RGB diffuser increases module height to 41.24mm — up from the non-RGB Fury’s 34.1mm — which is comparable to other RGB gaming modules and still narrower than the Predator RGB’s 42.2mm. Most large tower air coolers will clear this height, but it’s worth verifying before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 41.24mm tall, the Fury RGB is taller than the non-RGB Fury (34.1mm). Confirm your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Performance & Dual XMP Profiles

The Fury RGB shares its full performance specification with the non-RGB Fury. XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16-18-18 timings at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 with CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Plug N Play auto-overclocking at 2400MHz and 2666MHz is also supported on compatible platforms, making initial setup straightforward even before XMP is manually enabled.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your motherboard BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best results.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module will boot at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable the rated DDR4-3200 frequency and CL16 timings.

IC Quality & Build

The HX432C16FB3A/8 is a 1Rx8 single-rank module built on eight 1G×8-bit FBGA components with gold contact fingers on a 288-pin form factor. Kingston backs all HyperX Fury memory with 100% factory testing at rated speeds and a lifetime warranty. Depending on production batch, ICs are typically Samsung B-die or Micron Rev.E — both of which have excellent compatibility track records across mainstream DDR4 platforms.

Positioning vs Fury & Predator RGB

The Fury RGB sits between the non-RGB Fury and the Predator RGB in Kingston’s HyperX DDR4 lineup. It matches the Predator RGB’s CL16 XMP performance profile but trades the Predator’s Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation for a more accessible price point. The non-RGB Fury offers the same performance in a lower-profile (34.1mm) package for cooler-clearance-constrained builds. If RGB sync across multiple sticks is a priority and budget allows, the Predator RGB’s Infrared Sync is the more elegant solution; for a single RGB stick or a budget-conscious RGB build, the Fury RGB delivers full value.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and matched RGB lighting across both slots, add a second HX432C16FB3A/8 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

ValueRAM is Kingston’s industry-standard memory line, delivering award-winning performance and legendary Kingston reliability. The KVR32N22D8/16 ships on a standard PCB with no heat spreader and no RGB — fitting Kingston’s ValueRAM philosophy of substance over aesthetics. Each 288-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers for reliable electrical connection across thousands of insertion cycles. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +85°C, with storage from −55°C to +100°C.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The KVR32N22D8/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — eight chips per rank, two ranks per module. This dual-rank topology allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, keeping one rank prepared while the other is being accessed. The result is improved effective memory bandwidth and reduced idle latency compared to single-rank alternatives at the same 16GB capacity, particularly in workloads with high memory access parallelism such as productivity applications, virtualization, and multi-threaded workloads.

Performance & Compatibility

The SPD is programmed to JEDEC standard DDR4-3200 timing of 22-22-22 at 1.2V, running at its rated speed natively on any compatible DDR4 desktop platform without any BIOS configuration. There is no XMP profile — the module is designed for maximum compatibility and zero-fuss deployment across a wide range of Intel and AMD DDR4 systems. The module is also TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and regulated procurement environments.

No XMP on this module: DDR4-3200 is achieved via JEDEC specification natively — no BIOS tuning required. The module will also auto-downclock safely on platforms that don’t reach DDR4-3200.

ValueRAM vs KCP Series

The KVR prefix identifies this as Kingston’s retail ValueRAM line — tested for broad general compatibility across a wide range of motherboards. The KCP prefix identifies modules tested against specific OEM system configurations. Both carry Kingston’s lifetime warranty and JEDEC compliance; the distinction is primarily in the validation scope and intended deployment channel.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, install a second KVR32N22D8/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

The Fury platform’s defining characteristic carries through to the 16GB variant unchanged: the module stands at just 34.1mm (1.3425″) with its heatsink fitted — the same low-profile dimension as the 8GB Fury. This makes it one of the most cooler-friendly 16GB CL16 gaming memory modules available, clearing the RAM overhang zone of virtually all large tower air coolers. The revised black aluminium heat spreader gives the module a clean, premium appearance without adding unnecessary height to the build.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The HX432C16FB3/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — eight chips per rank, two ranks per module, arranged on both sides of the PCB. This dual-rank topology is a genuine upgrade over single-rank 16GB alternatives, allowing the memory controller to interleave between ranks and keep one primed while the other is being accessed. The result is marginally improved effective memory bandwidth compared to a single-rank 16GB module at the same clock speed and timings — a meaningful benefit in workloads with high memory access parallelism.

Plug N Play & Dual XMP Profiles

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. The JEDEC SPD default is DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. HyperX Fury’s Plug N Play auto-overclocking is also supported at 2400MHz and 2666MHz on compatible platforms, providing a performance step-up even before XMP is manually enabled.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback for platforms that struggle with Profile 1. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

The Fury RGB 16GB carries forward the same RGB implementation as the 8GB variant — a full-length illuminated diffuser strip along the top of the module driven by software-controlled RGB, compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, as well as HyperX’s own NGenuity software. The black aluminium heat spreader and matching black PCB maintain the Fury’s clean aesthetic, with the RGB diffuser sitting above the spreader.

The RGB diffuser adds height to 41.24mm (1.624″) with the heatsink fitted — up from the non-RGB Fury /16’s 34.1mm, and a fraction narrower than the Predator RGB’s 42.2mm. This is comparable to most RGB gaming modules and should clear the majority of tower air coolers, but clearance should be verified before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 41.24mm tall, the Fury RGB is taller than the non-RGB Fury (34.1mm). Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The HX432C16FB3A/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — the same IC topology as the non-RGB Fury /16 and the Predator /16. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks during operation, delivering improved effective memory bandwidth compared to single-rank 16GB alternatives at the same clock speed and timings.

Dual XMP Profiles & Plug N Play

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Plug N Play auto-overclocking at 2400MHz and 2666MHz on compatible platforms is also supported — providing a performance step-up even before XMP is manually activated in BIOS.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Positioning Within the Fury & Predator RGB Lineup

The HX432C16FB3A/16 sits at the intersection of capacity and RGB value in the HyperX DDR4 lineup. Compared to the non-RGB Fury /16 (HX432C16FB3/16): adds RGB at the cost of 7mm extra height. Compared to the Fury RGB /8 (HX432C16FB3A/8): doubles capacity to 16GB in a single slot, steps up to dual-rank. Compared to the Predator RGB /8 (HX432C16PB3A/8): higher capacity single stick, without Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation. For builders who want 16GB single-stick with RGB and don’t need Infrared Sync, this is the natural choice.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and symmetrical RGB across both DIMM slots, add a second HX432C16FB3A/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots.

The HX432C16PB3/16 is the standard (non-RGB) Predator DDR4 at 16GB — carrying the same aggressive black aluminium heat spreader and CL16 XMP performance as the RGB variant, without the Infrared Sync illumination system. For builders who run their cases closed, want maximum heat spreader mass for thermal performance, or simply don’t need RGB, this is the Predator in its purest form. Predator DDR4’s aggressive black heat spreader ensures that it both looks and stays cool, and the dense aluminium construction provides more thermal mass than the lighter spreaders found on mid-tier modules.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

The HX432C16PB3/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module based on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — identical IC topology to the HyperX Fury 16GB (HX432C16FB3/16), but in the Predator’s heavier heat spreader housing. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, keeping one rank prepared while the other is being accessed, delivering improved effective memory bandwidth compared to single-rank 16GB alternatives.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. The inclusion of two hand-tuned profiles mirrors the 8GB Predator — ensuring rated CL16 performance on capable platforms while providing a reliable fallback for systems that struggle with DDR4-3200 from Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Predator vs Fury at 16GB

Both the Predator /16 and Fury /16 share the same 2Rx8 dual-rank topology, CL16-18-18 XMP Profile 1, and dual XMP profile structure. The differences: the Predator carries a heavier, denser black heat spreader and higher brand prestige; the Fury’s 34.1mm low-profile spreader offers better CPU cooler clearance. If cooler clearance is a concern, the Fury /16 is the better choice. If maximum thermal headroom and the Predator aesthetic are the priority, this module delivers both in 16GB.

Check CPU cooler clearance: The Predator’s heat spreader is taller and heavier than the Fury’s low-profile design. Verify your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing.

Compatibility & Warranty

The Intel XMP-ready and certified profiles are optimised for Intel’s latest chipsets and are compatible with many of AMD’s latest chipsets, covering AM4, LGA1200, and LGA1700 (where DDR4 is supported). Each 288-pin DIMM uses gold contact fingers. Kingston backs this with 100% factory testing and a lifetime warranty.

The HX432C16PB3A/16 is where every feature in the HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB line converges in a single module: 16GB capacity, 2Rx8 dual-rank topology, CL16 XMP overclocking, Infrared Sync cable-free RGB, and the Predator’s signature dense black heat spreader — at 42.20mm height with full illumination across the top of the module. Nothing in this lineup exceeds it.

Infrared Sync RGB Lighting

The defining feature that separates the Predator RGB from every other module listed is HyperX’s patented Infrared Sync technology. Infrared Sync allows you to keep RGB effects synchronised across modules without the need for additional cables — modules communicate via infrared at up to 18mm working distance, enabling seamless lighting waves across multiple sticks in a populated build. The factory preset RGB wave lighting effect is active out of the box, with full customisation available via HyperX NGenuity software and sync compatibility with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync. The dense black aluminium heat spreader and matching black PCB keep the rig running and looking cool.

Dual-Rank (2Rx8) Configuration

Mirroring the non-RGB Predator /16 confirmed in the previous listing, the HX432C16PB3A/16 is a 2Rx8 dual-rank module built on sixteen 1G×8-bit FBGA components — the same topology as the Fury RGB /16 and Predator /16. The dual-rank configuration allows the memory controller to interleave between ranks, delivering improved effective memory bandwidth over single-rank 16GB alternatives at the same clock speed — a genuine advantage for memory-intensive gaming, content creation, and multitasking workloads.

Dual XMP Profiles & Performance

XMP Profile 1 runs at DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18 at 1.35V. XMP Profile 2 provides a compatibility fallback at DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at 1.35V. Without XMP enabled, the SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR4-2400 at 17-17-17 at 1.2V. Two hand-tuned profiles ensure rated CL16 performance on capable platforms while providing a reliable secondary profile for systems that can’t sustain DDR4-3200 under XMP Profile 1.

XMP must be enabled for rated speed: This module defaults to DDR4-2400 at JEDEC. Enable XMP 2.0 Profile 1 in your BIOS to unlock DDR4-3200 at CL16-18-18. Profile 2 (DDR4-3000 CL15) is available as a fallback. Updating your BIOS before installation is recommended for best compatibility and stability.

AMD note: On AMD Ryzen platforms, the module boots at JEDEC default speed. XMP Profile 1 must be manually selected in BIOS to enable DDR4-3200 at CL16.

Heat Spreader & Build Considerations

The module stands at 42.20mm (1.661″) with heatsink fitted — the tallest module in this entire memory range. The Predator RGB’s dense aluminium heat spreader provides excellent thermal mass for sustained XMP operation, but height clearance must be verified against your CPU cooler before purchasing.

Check CPU cooler clearance: At 42.20mm, this is the tallest module in the range. Confirm your CPU cooler’s RAM clearance specification before purchasing, particularly with large tower air coolers.

Flagship Positioning

The HX432C16PB3A/16 is the natural endpoint of the HyperX DDR4 lineup in this store. Compared to the Predator RGB /8: doubles capacity to 16GB and steps up to dual-rank. Compared to the Fury RGB /16: adds Infrared Sync cable-free multi-module synchronisation and the heavier Predator heat spreader. Compared to the Predator non-RGB /16: adds the full Infrared Sync RGB system. For buyers who want the best single-stick DDR4-3200 module available in this range — no compromises on capacity, performance, or lighting — this is it.

Infrared Sync requires two modules: Infrared Sync’s seamless cross-module RGB waves require a second HX432C16PB3A/16 installed within 18mm. A single stick will still display the factory preset RGB wave effect independently.

Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth and full Infrared Sync, add a second HX432C16PB3A/16 in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.

The KF548C38BBAK2-16 is a 2×8GB matched kit — two 8GB modules tested and validated together by Kingston for dual-channel operation. Installing both modules in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots activates dual-channel mode from the outset, doubling effective memory bandwidth compared to a single 8GB or 16GB stick. This is the first kit listing in this memory range; all previous DDR5 modules are sold as single sticks. For DDR5 systems targeting dual-channel from day one, this kit is the appropriate starting point.

XMP 3.0: Next-Generation Overclocking

The Fury Beast DDR5 is the first module in this range to support Intel XMP 3.0 — the DDR5-generation successor to XMP 2.0. XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO are the two new DDR5 overclock specs that include customizable profiles for speeds and timings, with Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 covering compatible overclock solutions for both platforms. XMP 3.0 allows for up to five stored profiles (compared to XMP 2.0’s two), and supports user-customisable profile slots stored directly on the module’s SPD hub — a DDR5-specific capability not available on any DDR4 XMP 2.0 module. Enabling XMP 3.0 in BIOS unlocks DDR5-4800 at CL38 at 1.1V; the JEDEC default without XMP is typically DDR5-4800 at CL40.

XMP 3.0 for rated CL38 timings: Without enabling XMP 3.0 in BIOS, this kit defaults to JEDEC DDR5-4800 at CL40. Enable XMP 3.0 to unlock the rated CL38-38-38 profile. AMD EXPO is also supported for Ryzen 7000 (AM5) platforms.

RGB Lighting & Heat Spreader

The integrated heat spreader features RGB lighting that can be customised to your liking when paired with your motherboard manufacturer’s dedicated software. The Fury Beast DDR5 RGB heat spreader is newly designed — combining bold styling and prodigious cooling functionality — while keeping a profile compatible with the majority of tower CPU coolers. RGB sync compatibility covers ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.

DDR5 Platform Features

On-die ECC (ODECC) helps maintain data integrity to sustain ultimate performance while pushing the limits. Boosted by double the banks and burst length and two independent 32-bit subchannels, DDR5’s exceptional handling of data shines with the latest games, programs and demanding applications. Advanced pre-optimised timings, speed and voltage for overclocking performance, with the ability to save new user-customisable profiles utilising a programmable PMIC.

DDR5 Platform Requirements

DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 motherboards or slots. A DDR5-capable motherboard and CPU is required — Intel 12th generation or later on a DDR5-compatible board, or AMD Ryzen 7000 series (AM5) or later. XMP 3.0 is natively supported on Intel 12th gen and later; AMD EXPO is supported on AM5 platforms.

DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 slots: Verify that both your motherboard and CPU support DDR5 before purchasing.
