Today, we take a look at Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 RAM kit. The black color Fury DDR4 comes in a capacity unit of 16GB, having a frequency of 2666 MHz. runs at a latency rate of CL15-16-17-35, while operating voltage at 1.20v. It is compatible with all DDR4 platforms i.e. Skylake and onwards, plus the newest AMD system. Fury DDR4 comes in various capacities ranging from 4-16GB single module to 16-64GB multiple modules. Also, this Fury series offers three different color schemes i.e. Red, White, and Black (this sample). With that out of the way, let’s begin with our Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2666 MHz Memory Review. Let’s have a look at the modules.
Box and Accessories
Inside the box, we found a set of RAM modules further packed in a plastic, transparent tray being closed from the top. We bring the RAMs out and this is how we’ll catch this up in our sample. We usually don’t see such detailed packaging, especially from Kingston, since they have been using plastic tray packaging for their RAMs, while Box packaging is mostly region-dependent. What else one could find in a RAM kit? Well, of course, the sticker of the brand logo is as seen in any other DRAM. Here, we see a small manual which of course would show the installation of kit and identification of slots plus, the warranty information for consumers. The HyperX logo alongside looks fancy. Hyper being red and X being whitish is indeed an aggressive combination. HyperX is a trademark. More HyperX products: HyperX Cloud Orbit S Review
Design
The backside usually carries a sticker that tells you something related to the warranty. This RAM kit followed the same pattern and has a Warranty void sticker consisting of Model No., capacity, and related specifications. What’s important about this sticker is, in case you remove it accidentally or intentionally, the warranty is void, which means, you won’t be able to claim the warranty, whatsoever. The corners have the most satisfying look, as the cutting-edge design makes it more stylish. The black PCB is now being the new standard for gaming RAMs. Kingston is also being used in many of their Gaming RAM modules. The module has a printed Fury on Extreme left being designed in white makes it contrast to the base color of the heat spreader, though it looks quite simple these modules look too damn sexy in presentation. Up the hill, there are a series of transverse holes creating a slight impact on its design. The top view of the heat spreader simply looks elegant. The HyperX logo printed on top adds more aesthetics to the final look. The heat spreader itself is very slim than the one in competition. Running at coolest 1.2v with such a slim heat spreader, this definitely great work by the team over Kingston. Down the bottom, the Gold strings are noticeable as slightly different from the regular DDR3 modules, this is because the DDR4 platform has slightly changed, that’s why all the modules in the DDR4 interface protocol are designed the same way.

Conclusion
With being on top at the Latency rate, Fury DDR4 has left behind the competitor, Patriot Viper, in almost every benchmark. This is surprising because RAMs having similar bus speeds usually end up with more or less the same results, but HyperX Fury DDR4 rather showed noticeably better results. Although these numbers might not reflect the gaming improvement, for benching and rendering work, it’s just a great plus. In addition, its overclocking is worth looking at, I was able to bring this 2*8GB kit all the way up to 3000 MHz, with entirely stable benchmarked. Overall, HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 is good looking Module with impressive synthetic performance and unbeatable compatibility.
