Our memory kit is rated at DDR5-8400 and has typical timings for high-end 8400MT/s kits of CL40-52-52 at 1.45V VDD/VDDQ. It has programmed four profiles – three are XMP, and one is a default, JEDEC-compatible profile.

Factory Timing Parameters:

  • Default (JEDEC): DDR5-6400 CL52-52-52 @1.1V
  • XMP Profile #1: DDR5-8400 CL40-52-52 @1.45V
  • XMP Profile #2: DDR5-8000 CL38-48-48 @1.45V
  • XMP Profile #3: DDR5-7600 CL38-46-46 @1.45V

 

The memory kit is designed to work with new motherboards with Intel Z890 chipset, as only those (so far) support the new CUDIMM memory kits. On the other hand, if we use a CUDIMM memory on an older or AMD-based motherboard, it will still work, but the clock driver won’t be supported, so it may not reach its maximum rated frequency. In other words, 7600/8000MT/s will still be possible on most gaming series motherboards.

The FURY Renegade uses the well-known Hynix M-die IC but is more binned than the regular memory series. The 8400MT/s kit is the first one in the series, and Kingston is preparing higher options, but right now, in stores, we will see only this one kit. It still overclocks well and offers high compatibility with available Z890 motherboards.

Below, you can see how ASRock Timing Configurator reads the main XMP profile.

The memory kit we tested runs well on ASRock and Gigabyte Z890 motherboards. We did not have a chance to test it on other brands, but since Kingston is the largest RAM brand, it’s guaranteed it cooperates with all leading motherboard brands, and we can find it on RAM QVLs of many popular models.

Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 System Stability Test.

We haven’t seen higher temperatures than 65°C during the tests, even after overclocking. Due to the clock driver, the memory kit overclocks well at lower voltages, so the 1.45V used in XMP profiles is enough to pass 9000MT/s.

We will look closer at the package and memory modules on the next page.
