The actual ram for the pc is great, however they use Royal Mail for delivery and we all know they can’t meet deadlines so even with a 24h guaranteed delivery, it was still late.
ive bought many sticks of ram but ive found kingston to be the best so far ive been using this ram for a while now no slowdowns or any issues ive bought 2 and there great also have good rgb and very good value for moeny as their quite cheap
For a suite of applications, I need a alternative user profile setting. Surprised that they work off a VM (virtualbox) but that brought my 16GB RAM to its knee. With this 2x32GB, gives me 80GB in total. Main PC and VM and respective applications within both are working more smoothly, but I don’t feel an overall uplift. Booting time is probably 10% quicker, but no significant different to others. Davinci Resolve loads about 10% quicker too, and again, everything is much smoother. VM takes as long to load and log in. It’s time these applications make use of additional RAM. Gaming does not increase much capacity neither; it’s smoother but not a huge gain beyond that. The RAM kit is fine and great. I think also the noticeable gain is already a massive positive improvement. My CPU is running usually below 10%.
2nd day use
Performance of my VM has not changed from the slight improvement yesterday after the +64GB increase. What is much more impressive now is the Davinci Resolve loads about two-thirds quicker, from about 15 seconds to about 4 seconds. Loading a project takes half the time.
With Chrome and other background things running (VPN, scheduled backup, scanning, email checker etc.) along with Davinci Resolve, I loaded Premier Pro CS6. There is noticeable difference of about 50% start up and loading time with the +64GB.
Everything, my i7 CPU is running at 4-6% load, and RAM is at 26%: 20.xx / 79.8 available. (16GB + 64GB). I wonder what gain I get if I upgrade to i9. But I don’t *need* it. 🙂
Product was easy to install, DDR4 3200HZ RAM. Has a lovely RGB effect and goes well with my green RGB gaming setup. The only downside to this product is the software to change the colour of the light strip on the RAM itself, the software is called Fury Ctrl. It’s buggy to say the least and it was a nightmare to install onto the PC. It’s still not working but my motherboard also has RGB and this does have issues with “other” RGB software. I eventually looked in my RGB motherboard software and it had added another module which could then change the colour, it’s a bit buggy but it now works. So if you have a gigabyte board then make sure you uninstall the motherboard fusion or any RGB software, then install the Fury Ctrl and then overlay your motherboard fusion driver again. This is just me so others might not get these issues, but it’s a bit buggy. The RAM itself is excellent and very quick, I’ve noticed a big difference in response during gaming. Very cheap for the money as well only 65 just over for 16GB. Well happy
These memory sticks are just as easy or hard to install as any other DDR sticks. ( have done quite a few on different motherboards and different types of DDR) Hence the easy to install score.
They are faster than my old memory sticks and the result is noticeable in some games.
They also conform to Gigabytes’ RGB Fusion 2.0 standard so work well for me.
Great syncing for RCB with an supporting motherboard, in this case used with an ASUS TUF Gaming Pro board, using Aura Sync – other RGB sync programs no doubt supported. RAM performance very good.
It installed as easily as you’d expect for a RAM upgrade. RGB all seems to work fine, and it’s doing what my other 2 DIMMs do. 32GB now registered – 4x 8GB DIMMs, but it was running at 2400mhz… So, fix forward time….
Turns out, with the new DIMMs, the HP BIOS (hit escape repeatedly as the machine is turning on, and when the boot menu loads select ‘configure’ (or something like that)) opens up additional configuration options! In the BIOS config options, there is now an XMP Profiles section which wasn’t there before!! I’ve set to Profile option 1, saved and rebooted. It rebooted itself a couple of times, but I’m now back in Windows, and RAM is all running at 3200MHz!
Sweet!
So, if you’re a new HP Omen user with Intel Chipset and HyperX FURY RGB RAM, and you’re wondering how you can get more RAM – buy this, install, set XMP profile in BIOS that magically appear and reboot. Sorted.
This is an excellent quality DDR4 RAM.
The Fury Beast RGB are really cool and aggressive looking memory modules with the RGB lighting giving extra gaming style .
Each module has a nice solid matt black aluminum heat spreader,which keeps the RAM cooler while dealing with heavy load and demanding PC games.
On top side of the heat spreader there is a long RGB light that goes from end to end.
The RGB light is pretty bright ,which is really good as it grabs your attention.
The RAM comes in a kit of 16GB ,which is 2 memory modules of 8GB each.
These are 16GB of memory that can work up to 3200Mhz,but to do that you need to have CPU and motherboard that support 3200Mhz.
There are CPUs that support 3200Mhz only when they are used in Overclocking mode and in normal mode they support less than 3200Mhz.
This kit will still work if it is less than 3200Mhz ,but you will not be able to use the full speed of the memory so it is good to check if both your CPU and motherboard are supporting this type of RAM before you buy.
The price of the kit at the moment is 82.82 , which is pretty low for the quality that you get and the RGB lights are amazing.
Recommend.
Hopefully my review was Helpful for you.
I replaced the existing RAM with the Kingston RAM and it worked immediately. I made sure that the settings in the bios picked up on the speed and timings. I have an AMD processor in an Asus x570 motherboard and there was no drama and the RAM RGB picked up the motherboard RGB settings.
Initially I couldn’t find any Kingston Fury RGB software but eventually it appeared on the Microsoft Store. I decided to stay with the ASUS software as it had the patterns I required. Note that there may be an initial delay in independent Video card RGB kicking in after boot. I guess the devices are contending for the same control elements.
Kingston Fury memory remembers a lot, it gives fast performance, plugged and played and looks good doing it, gave a good boost to performance. Good reliable product that works well and does what you need. Made gaming better on my system.
WOW this is awsome memory kit! any desktop computer will work better with this kit. Will give your battle station a stylish upgrade thanks to beast DDR4 RGB’s heat spreader and customizable smooth, stunning RGB effects for sure. Can reach speeds up to 3733MHz. just WOW! A simple and easy plug and play upgrade, Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 RGB it’s auto-overclock itself to the highest listed speed allowed by the system BIOS this is really cool.
Would highly recommend this very good quality memory kit for your computer for sure and i have to say that this price is very good at the moment, so it’s worth it to spent!
My Gaming PC which I use on a daily basis was starting to slow down and I realised that it was time for a RAM upgrade. As someone that enjoys making PC games on my PC as well as alternating between gaming and graphic design on consumption heavy softwares such as Photoshop, I needed a proper upgrade and this memory kit by Kingston was exactly what I needed.
This DDR4 FURY Impact RAM sticks give drastically improved my work flow and gaming experience, where no longer do my softwares crash or freeze. This could easily be because of the drastic improvement in performance and overall higher processing speeds. For exact metrics, power consumption has dropped by 40% (in comparison to the previous version DDR3) with a performance and bandwidth boost of 50%.
This set includes 2×8 GB RAM sticks with 3200MHz speeds, however this listing on Amazon by Kingston allows for some serious customisation so this can change to your tailored liking. It is also easy to install, first remove your old RAM sticks carefully by pushing down on the clip on the side of the ram stick on the motherboard and lifting them out. To install the new RAM sticks, simply push them into the slot on your motherboard until you hear a click. Though please ensure your PC is off when doing this and any unsaved work is backed up and saved.
Overall, excellent quality by a reputable brand. 5 stars!
Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂
This review is for the Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 Desktop Memory Kit of 2. The Ram is where data is stored before any processing occurs within your computer so it’s probably one of the most important hardware in your computer acter the CPU. DDR4 is the latest dynamic RAM technology, mostly only compatible with newer motherboards. The benefit of using DDR4 instead of DDR3 is that DDR4 RAM has higher overall speed, increased transfer rates and less voltage which means less overall power consumption by 40% and boosts performance and bandwidth by 50% to DDR3 RAM.
Kingston it’s always been a trusted brand for me, I have used their RAMs in my Apple MacBook’s (before M1 chip) and in many gaming PC’s I’ve built in the past decades. It’s already promising that all this Kingston RAMs comes with limited lifetime warranty.
Would highly recommend upgrading your computer with this Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 Desktop Memory Kit of 2 if you’re regularly using programs that require a lot of memory like games, engineering programs, or photo and video editing software. I’ve got the 2 x 8 GB module and with 3200MHz but it’s also available from 2666MHz to 3733MHZ. My experience is that no real difference between 3200Mhz and 3733Mhz in real world use, only get 3733MHz if you want those benchmark scores or using some kind of software that requires necessary speeds, if not 3200Mhz is fine for gaming and for everyday use. Also, it worth to check your motherboard before you buy it, as it might not be compatible or will not allow to RAM to run on the high MHz’s. To find your motherboard model in Windows 10, go to the Power User Task Menu, type in “run” and then “MSinfo32.” or on mac click on the Apple icon, select the “About This Mac”, copy the serial number from the information window and google the serial number to get the full spec of the motherboard and check the compatibility.
Installing the rams is simple and easy, it’s a plug and play hardware that does not require any software. I would suggest to save anything what you’ve been working on the computer, as most of this information is kept on the ram until you save it, and you will lose it when you turn off the computer. Remove your old ram and put in your new RAM sticks, match the notches with the gaps in the motherboard and push firmly and evenly until you hear a ‘click’. After you’ve installed the new RAM kit, close your computer. Restart everything and reboot, then you RAM is ready to use by your CPU.
The RGB lighting effects can easily be changed using software to match a number of presets including one snapped to the temperature of the memory so it can go slowly change from green to yellow, orange etc depending on how warm they get. This is particularly handy to keep an eye on the current temperature levels inside your case. Use the Kingston FURY CTRL software or your motherboard manufacturer’s software to create your own setting. This RGB colour features makes this FURY Beast Ram a perfect hardware for gamers
Compare to other DDR4 RAM on the market this one is a little bit pricier but it’s a Kingston. It’s a well trusted brand with great reputation. My computer very stable with this ram, boot time significantly less than before, all programs run instantly, all my heavy RAM consuming apps like Adobe software, VirtualBox works great with less crashing and no freeze. I’m very impressed and highly recommend it.
These RAM modules work incredibly well and fitting was simple into an AMD motherboard.
On opening, these modules are really well made and feel quite weighty as they come fitted with some very good quality heat spreaders. These are a DDR4 layout and will be suitable for most modern computers but these modules are most suited to a gaming machine.
Fitting these to the board was simple and they slotted straight in without a problem, then when the computer started up the LEDs on the top of the casing flashed up showing that they have been recognised.
The motherboard I fitted these to supports Asus Aura and after a few simple settings these modules were in sync with the Aura program and other hardware. I made a short video that shows the modules working which is included in this review.
I have so far run several applications and a few games to test these and they are performing flawlessly at their recommended ratings. I haven’t wanted to overclock these just incase I damaged them but I would imagine there will be some headroom if that’s what you like to do. I have found that running these at the stated settings of 3200mhz CL16 is plenty fast enough and is completely stable on everything that I have tried on them.
Being as these support the Asus Aura and other computer lighting systems, if you have other lighting devices of the same type then they can all be linked to run the same programmed colours and looks stunning bringing a gaming system to life in a whole new way.
Superb RAM modules that look amazing.
Recommended.
My first gaming pc in 15 years. I would highly recommend this product. Item came intact with no damage to the actual packaging. My MSI z490 edge motherboard had no issues with the memory. Confirmed by checking the BIOS that the speed and memory type was as advertised and is working flawlessly
I received the 16GB kit for review, which is comprised of two 8GB sticks. 16GB is plenty for most people’s needs, whether for everyday activities, or for gaming. Graphic designers and big data scientists might need more if they use their PC for their work.
The RGB lighting looks nice (but is not to everyone’s taste: non-rgb RAM is also available if so), and can be configured to display different colours. The two RAM sticks are synced, and it works from the moment you turn the PC on.
To install it you either need to be comfortable with opening your computer up, or otherwise will need to pay a computer technician. The actual installation is super easy: there are plenty of guides online, but make sure you unplug the PC and take other safety measures first. The PC should recognise the new RAM as soon as you turn it on. The RAM itself looks and feels solid, and is definitely an upgrade on what I had before.
I have no complaints about this RAM kit, but I have found out that the manufacturer of my desktop PC (HP) limits some of the functionality of this RAM: they do not allow XMP profiles, meaning that this RAM runs at the default lower speed of 2400 MHz rather than the maximum of 3200 MHz. But this problem would apply to any other RAM kit, as it is an issue with the PC manufacturer.
A fair price for a good RGB RAM if you want to use this brand.
I originally have Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO with the same spec in my (first build) PC so if you were to compare the two, the Kingston Fury sticks are smaller in physical size and cheaper but also run slower than the speed listed out of the box, although I believe you can configure them in the BIOS to allow them to run faster. I am running an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with a Gigabyte A520M DS3H Motherboard and had no issues with installation or setup of this RAM.
The RGB software is NGenuity which I was prompted to install from the windows store. It was very easy to set up the lighting with a fair amount of options and ability to layer the lighting effects if you so desire. The RGB is not too in-your-face but has less customizability compared to my Corsair ones. The last thing to be aware of is the fact that if you use different brands in your PC for RGB lighting effects you will end up with lots of different softwares in order to customise them as each of the brands run different software.

This was the first time I have used RGB RAM and it worked brilliantly and was easy to set up.
Installing the RAM was straightforward, and was simply a matter of installing the sticks in the right slots (they are labelled on a lot of motherboards). Its well worth checking the recommended configuration in the manual to make the most of a two stick kit to use it in dual channel mode. By default the RAM will run at a lower speed than listed, but its a simple tweak in the bios to allow the faster than 2400 speeds that the memory is capable of. On Intel platforms these are the XMP profiles. I’m on AMD, and they are known by several terms such as DOCP or EOCP depending on the motherboard maker. Activate this mode in the bios and the system can make the best of the performance of the RAM.
The bit I was most concerned with was actually done with almost no effort – setting up the RGB. Once I booted up, the RAM started working in conjunction with my systems RGB. I am using an ASUS motherboard, and the RGB was easily configured as part of the Armoury Crate software, and was automatically detected and easily synchronised.
Within ten minutes of receiving the RAM, I had it fitted and synchronised with my RGB settings.
The RAM itself looks great, feels solid and works brilliantly.
Overall, I am happy to recommend this if you need RAM, especially if you want something that looks great in your system.
