DDR5 5600 Dual-Channel Kit

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 RGB delivers 16 GB in a matched 2 x 8 GB kit running at 5600 MT/s with CL36 timings and 1.25 V operation. It carries Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles for one-click overclocking on supported platforms.

RGB Builders on Modern Platforms

The kit suits enthusiasts who want synchronised lighting via Kingston FURY CTRL or motherboard software and who run Intel 600 or 700 series or AMD 500/600 series chipsets. Systems limited to earlier DDR generations cannot use these modules.

5600 MT/s Speed Rating

The 5600 MT/s data rate is the primary figure that decides compatibility; the memory controller and motherboard must support this speed to run at the rated frequency without manual tuning.
