      The FURY Renegade DDR5 offers speeds up to 6,400 MT/s paired with quick CL32 latencies and is compatible 12th-gen Intel-based CPUs. It’s available in 16GB single modules and 32GB kits of 2.

      Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB utilizes Intel XMP 3.0, a new overclock spec with advanced pre-optimized timings, speed and voltage for overclocking performance and customizable profiles. It is also backed by lifetime warranty.

      DDR5 Explained

      DDR5 is the latest generation of memory modules on consumer PCs, built to work with Intel’s 12th-gen processors and Z690-chipset motherboards.

      Compared to its predecessor DDR4 SDRAM, DDR5 is built on a new architecture and brings key improvements in terms of memory bandwidth, capacity, and power consumption compared with the last generation DDR4.

      In this case, Renegade DDR5 features a programmable PMIC for XMP 3.0, supporting up to two customisable profiles to optimise your own unique timings, speeds and voltages saved directly to the DIMM.

      Features

      • Dynamic, customisable RGB lighting effects
      • Patented Kingston FURY Infrared Sync Technology
      • Engineered to maximise performance
      • Tap into extreme overclocking potential
