The tested memory kits have two XMP profiles. The main XMP profile is rated at DDR5-5200 CL40-40-40 1.25V. This profile should be compatible with all available motherboards. Of course, higher speeds would be even better, but we have to start with something. Kingston Fury Beast rated at DDR5-5600 and DDR5-6000 is already listed, so I hope we won’t have to wait long for even faster DDR5 memory kits.
The second profile is actually programmed as a default, JEDEC profile, but improved with tighter timings. The second profile runs at DDR5-4800 CL38. This is what Kingston says, mentioning that the Fury Beast is plug and play at DDR5-4800. This RAM runs out of the box at this frequency and CL38. It isn’t the fastest but is already very respectable, considering it runs at the default 1.1V.
Right now, let’s focus on our memory kit, which is rated at DDR4-5200 and is based on Micron IC. This IC likes lower voltages, not much above 1.35V, and is also not overclocking very high, but in most cases, we can expect it will reach DDR5-5600. This can also be a limit on the early, not tuned BIOS as most motherboards still have problems with DDR5 overclocking.
The most important is stability at the rated frequency, and with that, the Fury Beast memory has no problems on all popular motherboards. Our tests were performed on Aorus Z690 Master, one of the highest Gigabyte models. I have to admit that Gigabyte didn’t do a good job with BIOS so far, and as long as it’s fully stable at the XMP profiles, it limits the overclocking and has problems with memory retraining.
Below is a screenshot from AIDA64 System Stability Test, which is focused on cache and RAM.
We will take a closer look at the package and memory modules themselves on the next page.
