Package and its Contents
The Fury Beast DDR5-5200 memory kit package is relatively standard as Kingston has been using a similar RAM package for some time. Only the highest series have an additional box, but I assume that we still have to wait for the high DDR5 series.
The package contains two memory modules, a Kingston Fury logo sticker, and a users guide. This is enough to install our brand new RAM.
I assume that most users won’t have problems with a RAM installation. DDR5 modules have a new key, so they can’t be installed in DDR4 slots.
The modules are not really flashy, so that we won’t find RGB illumination or other effects, but they have a new, low-profile design. On the other hand, users are divided between those who like RGB and those who try to avoid it at all costs. I have to admit that for me, it depends on what PC I’m building. The beast modules look pretty good and should fit most builds. I would still expect something more flashy, considering that DDR5 is right now dedicated to the most expensive, enthusiast, and demanding gamer configurations.
DDR5 has apparent advantages like on-die ECC, lower voltage, and higher frequency. Finally, we can see good scaling with a higher memory clock as DDR4 had its limits, and we could see that overclocking past the DDR4-5000 mark was not really helping, even in benchmarks. Intel Alder Lake-S brought a new memory controller, and hopefully, it will scale well up to a much higher clock than the current available DDR5 modules.
