Price
The Fury Renegade line-up offers a welcome range of features with big promises of price and performance, but it does come at a bit of a premium that jumps to a major premium with the higher capacity drivers. The 500GB and 1TB drives retail for $114.99 and $189.99 respectively, placing both in the middle of the pack in terms of price.
Compatibility
The RAM supports motherboard manufacturers such as ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASROCK-Polychrome Sync. There is also a dedicated software ‘Kingston FURY CTRL’ that allows you customize the lighting effects of Kingston FURY RGB products.
Kingston FURY Renegade 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3200 desktop memory review
Build
The RAM comes in an all-new Fury branded box. Inside is a plastic blister pack with which protects the RAM kit in the plastic tray interior. Each pair of 16GB modules are in their own cradle inside. It comes in stylish aluminum heat spreader with a RGB module at the top with the Fury logo. On the front is the Fury Renegade branding and specifications are at the back.
Design
It’s good to see the modules keep to a 42.2mm height that ought not to foul large, overhanging air coolers. The heatspreaders have an attractive metal-on-metal pattern. It actually comes with two XMP profiles, DDR-4000 CL19-23-23 and DDR4-4600 CL19-26-26.
Heat spreader
One of the Fury Renegade’s more unique elements is its low-profile heat spreader. At first glance, I actually mistook it for a sticker until I turned the drive on its side and caught the gleam of metal. Rather than use a thick and bulky heatsink like the Corsair MP600, the Fury Renegade uses an ultra-thin graphene aluminum heatspreader. It’s a perfect fit for the PS5 but also helps the drive fit comfortably beneath bulky graphics cards in a PC setup.
Detects RGB effects
If you already have a system with fancy RGB effects, you can sync the RGB lightings on the FURY Renegade RGB DDR4 with your motherboard and for our case here, we’re using the ASUS Aura Creator. The software will automatically recognize the FURY Renegade RGB DDR4 and you can get it in sync with other components listen with just a few clicks, no additional software or driver is needed for the kit.
XMP 2.0
Thanks to XMP (2.0) profiles the only thing one needs to do in order to run this RAM kit at its advertised frequency, timings and voltages is to choose/enable it from within the Bios and reboot. That being said if you’re into overclocking you may not wish to use the main XMP profile but instead to choose your very own frequency, timings and voltages to achieve even higher performance numbers.
Read & write speed
Kingston claims that the drive is able to deliver up to 7300 MB/s in sequential read speeds across every capacity. Maximum sequential write speeds increase with drive size, beginning at 3900 MB/s and topping out at 7000 MB/s with the 2TB and 4TB variants. Of course, real-world tasks are rarely sequential. For randomized operations, the drive is rated at 450,000 read and 900,000 write IOPS for the 500GB version, 900,000 read and 1,000,000 write IOPS, and 1,000,000 each for the 2TB and 4TB versions.
Kingston FURY Renegade 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3200 desktop memory Performance review
The FURY Renegade RGB DDR4 works on both our Intel and AMD platforms and the noticeable difference is probably the CAS latency itself. As AMD will always go with the closest even number for the CAS latency, you’ll be getting CL20 on the FURY Renegade RGB DDR4 instead of CL19.
In CrystalDiskMark, the drive peaked at 7.2MB/s and 6.9MB/s for sequential reads and writes; a little less, but still very good. For the randomized test (4k32), the drive came in at 1.3MB/s in read speeds and 1.1MB/s for writes.

At DDR4-4800 CL19, the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4 RGB was stable up to 400% MemTest. One thing worth noting is that the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4 RGB was stable without additional cooling, unlike the other DDR4-4800 kit we tested previously. It seems that the heatspreader is as functional as it looks good. And it is also worth mentioning that the tests were done on an open bench, so there is less airflow over the RAM than what you might probably get in a well-ventilated case.

REASONS TO BUY
+Huge color gamut+Accurate out of the box
REASONS TO AVOID
-No 24p support-No Dolby VisionAdvertisement
If you’re looking for a big 4K experience, the Aorus FV43U offers excellent image quality and gaming performance at a much lower price than screens with slightly lesser image quality. We’ve seen it for as cheap as $1,000, giving the $1,500 Asus ROG PG43UQ on this page a run for its money.
The Aorus FV43U also offers USB-C connectivity, allowing you to hit 144Hz, two 12W speakers that sound better than most and a remote. HDR performance is also top-of-the-line, with our benchmarks recording 38,888.4:1 contrast and HDR games showing impressive depth and popping textures. A lack of 24p and Dolby Vision support hurt the FV43U’s chances as a full TV replacement, but there isn’t much else missing in a premium gaming monitor here.
The Aorus bested the Asus in our contrast (SDR and HDR) and max brightness tests, as well as in color coverage. However, the Asus beat the Aorus in our response time test by 1ms and input lag by 7ms. Still, unless you’re an extremely competitive gamer, it’s probably worth the price savings and slight image quality advantages.
