Our memory kit is rated at DDR5-8000 and has tight timings of CL36-48-48. The regular FURY Renegade is specified to run at CL38, while most of the competition has CL38 or CL40 profiles at 8000MT/s.

As expected, the Fury Renegade 48GB uses the Hynix M-die IC, the same one found in all top-speed memory series.
Besides the best IC, we will find Richtek PMIC, the best option for overclocking nowadays. Even though other popular PMICs are not bad, Richtek has the widest compatibility and is fully supported by all popular motherboard brands.

The tested memory kit has three XMP profiles at DDR5-6400, DDR5-7200, and DDR5-8000. Even if your motherboard can’t handle the DDR5-8000 profile, you can pick something at a lower frequency but still fast.

The tested memory kit has programmed XMP profiles, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work on motherboards with AMD chipsets. I recommend checking the motherboard’s QVL before purchasing. Leading motherboard brands support both profile types on new AMD motherboards.

Factory Timing Parameters:

  • Default (JEDEC): DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @1.1V
  • XMP Profile #1: DDR5-8000 CL36-48-48 @1.45V
  • XMP Profile #2: DDR5-7200 CL38-44-44 @1.45V
  • XMP Profile #3: DDR5-6400 CL32-39-39 @1.4V

 

Below, you can see how ASRock Timing Configurator reads the main DDR5-8000 profile.

We had no problems with the new Intel Z890 motherboards from ASRock and Gigabyte. Since the memory kit tested is designed for Intel, the review will focus on the test rig with an ASRock Z890 motherboard.

 

Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 System Stability Test.

During the tests, we haven’t seen higher temperatures than 62°C. Even after overclocking at higher voltages, the temperature was not much higher. As far as heat sinks aren’t especially large, they work well.

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