The Kingston FURY Beast is a single 16GB DDR4 memory module for desktop PCs. It suits gamers and home users upgrading a compatible system, as well as people building a PC that needs a single DIMM.

It runs at DDR4-3200 with CL16 timing when using its XMP profile, and supports Intel XMP 2.0 for profile-based memory configuration. The module has a heat spreader and uses a 288-pin DIMM design. Its default JEDEC profile is DDR4-2400 CL17 at 1.2V, with faster XMP profiles available for compatible systems.

Key features

• 16GB capacity in one memory module
• DDR4-3200 data rate with CL16-18-18 timing under XMP
• Intel XMP 2.0 support with two profile options
• 288-pin DIMM form factor for desktop memory slots
• Heat spreader helps manage operating temperature
• Unbuffered, non-ECC memory design
• Gold contact fingers

Compatibility

Check that your motherboard supports desktop DDR4 288-pin DIMMs and that its memory specifications allow the desired speed. The DDR4-3200 CL16 profile uses 1.35V; the default JEDEC profile runs at DDR4-2400 CL17 and 1.2V. The system may need XMP enabled in its firmware to use the faster profile, and supported speeds can depend on the motherboard and system configuration. Good to know: this is one 16GB module, not a matched multi-module kit, and it will not fit laptop SO-DIMM slots or DDR5-only systems.
