Kingston Fury BEAST RGB DDR5 5600MHz 32GB (16GBx2) Review

Kingston is one of the best-known names for memory, having created many award-winning products over the last few decades, and I’m hoping that continues to be true today. Speaking of awards, I’ve already given the Kingston FURY Beast memory kit my Editors Choice Award, albeit it was 2 years ago and on this lovely 3600 MHz DDR4 kit. Will the new 5600MHz DDR5 kit be able to win the same award? Let’s find out!

Kingston Fury BEAST DDR5

It ticks all the right boxes for a modern set of gaming memory, with a black heat spreader design, plenty of RGB thrills built-in for customisation, and is certified for both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO, giving consumers plenty of choice for motherboard/CPU. With speeds of up to 5600 MHz, and a 32GB kit (2 x 16GB) I’m expecting some solid performance from the Beast, it’s not the highest specification kit we’ve tested though, so do keep that in mind, but that is reflected in the price; this should be a nice sweet spot for most consumers though.

• Patented Kingston FURY Infrared Sync Technology
