Racing Lover's Dream Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition Memory Unboxing

At COMPUTEX 2024, Kingston set up their booth with the theme of "Kingston: Pushing the Limits" and revealed the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition memory. At that time, I also went to the show to check out what kind of new products Kingston would be launching, and naturally, I have seen the new memory that I am going to unbox for you today. The Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition 8000MT/s 48GB (2x24GB) memory that I'm going to unbox for you to test, at that time, I also asked about the choice of chips, but the PM told me that it was Samsung chips, so I was really looking forward to see what kind of Samsung chips are so powerful that can exceed 8000 MT/s. The result is still SK Hynix Hynix chips, so I guess it was just a slip of the tongue on the part of the PM, right?

Kingston has already released 8000 MT/s on the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB, but only in the traditional binary 32GB (2x16GB) format, and there seems to be no sign of restocking after some outlets have sold out.

In addition to the non-binary 48GB (2x 24GB) capacity, the timing parameters of this limited edition are also smaller than the original CL38-48-48-126 and tightened to CL36-48-48-128, which is a very cruel thing to say that the limited edition is even stronger than the original in terms of both capacity specification and timing.

The limited edition has already hit the shelves in Taiwan, but it seems that only the original price houses are selling it and the quantity is also limited, so with not many choices of where to buy the original version, it seems that this is the only one left to choose.

The Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition is inspired by racing, using black and red heatsinks to create a sense of layering, and the black part of the heatsink is modeled with carbon fiber to get a different texture, the overall design style is different than the original FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB, but the Limited Edition version has more flowing lines to match the racing theme style. The overall design style is different from the original FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB's technological style, and the Limited Edition version has a more streamlined look to fit the racing theme, but the relative red and black color scheme is something to think about when it comes to the motherboard's color scheme.

The memory size is 133.35mm x 45.8mm x 8.26mm, which means that the memory height is around 45.8mm, and some air-cooled dual-tower cooler fans may be pushed up, so if the space above the chassis is limited and the height of the water cooling and the memory is required, you should pay attention to the chassis manual to see if there is any instruction.

The memory RGB light bar has the patented Kingston FURY Infrared Sync Technology, which not only allows you to set 18 preset lighting effects using your own software, Kingston FURY CTRL, but also supports GIGABYTE, ASRock, ASUS, and MSI's four major motherboard vendors' lighting control software. lighting effect settings.

Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition 8000MT/s 48GB (2x24GB) is only available in a non-binary capacity with Intel XMP 3.0 Profile of DDR5 8000 MT/s CL36-48-48-128 1.45V. This frequency is a major watershed for the current DDR5 PC platform. This frequency is a major watershed for DDR5 PC platforms at this stage, as compared to the platform selection and CPU memory controller (IMC [Integrated Memory Controller]) quality, all consumers can do is to buy a 2DIMM motherboard (also known as a 1DPC motherboard) and update the BIOS version to get better memory compatibility. The only thing consumers can do is to buy a 2DIMM motherboard (also known as 1DPC motherboard) and update the BIOS version to get better memory compatibility or overclocking headroom, while the rest is really up to the hardware components.

Kingston also recommends the following list of motherboards for gamers to use, GIGABYTE is the majority of the recommended motherboards and has 4 DIMM(2DPC) motherboards to choose from, while others recommend 2 DIMM(1DPC) motherboards, assuming that your platform is not able to stabilize the DDR5 8000 MT/s for some reason. If your platform can't use DDR5 8000 MT/s profile stably for some reasons, you can also use the spare two profiles to use.

The Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition has 12 LEDs in the light bar, and you can set up 18+1 preset effects through the Kingston FURY CTRL software. However, if you use two bars with the motherboard, you will only have 12+1 lighting effects, and you will only have six more if you plug in four bars. However, if you use two sticks with the motherboard, there will only be 12+1 lighting effects available, and another six will be available only when four sticks are plugged in, but DDR5 8000 MT/s with four sticks is a pipe dream at this stage.

Memory Overclocking Tests for Intel Platforms

The first test was conducted using an Intel Core i9-14900KS test platform supporting DDR5 memory and XMP 3.0, with the motherboard using a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS TACHYON (rev. 1.0) and the BIOS updated to the F10f version to test the performance and overclocking capacity of the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition memory to test the performance and overclocking capacity of Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 memory.

In the motherboard's BIOS, there are three Intel XMP 3.0 profiles that can be used, and the DDR5 8000 CL36 will only work if XMP 1 is turned on, but you can also choose two other profiles if you have a poorer platform for the competition.

•  Default (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 1.1V
•  XMP Profile #1: DDR5-8000 CL36-48-48 1.45V

And then through AIDA64 System Memory The stress stability of the memory was tested with the memory XMP 3.0 Profile 1 parameter DDR5-8000 CL36-48-48 1.45V, and the actual test was conducted in an air-conditioned closed room at 24 °C. The maximum temperature of the SPD Hub after 30 minutes of testing was 64.5 °C. The test was conducted with the memory XMP 3.0 Profile 1 parameter DDR5-8000 CL36-48-48 1.45V.

It is important to note that this GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS TACHYON was tested on the STREACOM BC1 Benchtable V2 barebones platform and there is no additional fan in the memory to assist with cooling, however, most users will have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the chassis to dissipate the heat, so this temperature test is just for reference.

Conclusion

To enjoy the superb memory performance of Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition 8000MT/s 48GB (2x24GB), it is essential to have a platform that can be stably overclocked up to DDR5-8000 MT/s. Most consumers can't afford to buy a whole bunch of CPUs to choose from. Most consumers can't afford to buy a bunch of CPUs to choose IMC body, the only thing consumers can do is to choose a motherboard model that has passed the compatibility certification and update the BIOS to get the best compatibility possible, the rest of the body is left to fate.

Taking the two existing 2 DIMM(1DPC) test platforms in my hand, the Z790 AORUS TACHYON can not only open the 8000 MT/s profile, but also further overclocked to DDR5 8600 MT/s, and then further squeezed out 80.2 % and 56 % of read/write performance over the JEDEC frequency, and finally reduced the latency performance from 92.5 ns (JEDEC frequency) to 58.4 ns. The latency is finally reduced from 92.5 ns (JEDEC frequency) to 58.4 ns.

The GIGABYTE B650I AORUS ULTRA on AMD's test platform passed the test with XMP Profile 1 running at DDR5 8000 MT/s, but the dream of further overclocking is still unattainable, so it looks like we're still losing out to the IMC .....

 

In addition to the good overclocking performance, the unique racing style design and RGB light guide columns are also a new choice for appearance gamers. Especially, the Kingston FURY CTRL software actually hides the 19th sports car lighting effect, which allows the memory to display the style effect with the car popping in and out, which is really an unexpected surprise to the users.

In the 30-minute stress test, the maximum temperature of the SPD HUB was suppressed to 64.5°C, which is a good cooling effect even without a fan, which is a more stable usage scenario for this high-frequency DDR5 memory.
