HyperX FURY 16GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RGB Memory Review

While Kingston and HyperX may disagree with me to a certain extent, the FURY isn’t the most advanced or complex set of memory on the market. It’s built as a mid-to-high-end kit to make it broadly appealing to the gaming market. I think they’re (literally) right on the money with that. The performance is really good, nothing groundbreaking, but as I said, it’s right on the money. It competes well with the T-Force Vulcan, and the Apacer NOX, which are both broadly the same specifications.
Overclocked
Much to my surprise, I was easily able to squeeze another 400 MHz out of this kit with just some simple ratio changes. Tightening the timing after didn’t go so well, but for a quick and dirty overclock, the results are there to see. Of course, your mileage will vary based on your motherboard and CPU. There was a small boost in the synthetic benchmarks, and a nice pickup in the transfer rates at the cost of a little extra latency. In the real world though, leaving it at stock will be fine for 99.999% of customers I think.
