INTRODUCTION
Regardless of what your priorities are when out in the market for a new DDR4 RAM kit 5 things always matter in the end, capacity/amount, frequency, cost, timings and of course looks (and probably in that order for most people). Personally, as I’ve pointed out a number of times in the past i may put extra weight on capacity but i do realize that not everyone's like me and so i always try my best to balance things when looking for new kits to review/test. To that end today with me i have one of the most popular dual-channel DDR4 RAM kits in the market today, the Fury RGB 32GB 3200MHz (HX432C16FB4AK232) by HyperX.

As already mentioned in one of my past reviews the Fury RGB line of DDR4 modules by HyperX is XMP 2.0 certified and is currently available in 8/16GB single, 16/32GB dual and 32/64/128GB quad-channel kits with frequencies all the way up to 3733MHz (2400/2666/3000/3200MHZ/3466/3600/3733MHz), CAS latency timings set as low as 15 (2400/2666/3000MHz CL15 - 2666/3200/3466MHz CL16 - 3600MHz CL17 - 3733MHz CL19) and voltages up to 1.35v (2400/2666MHz 1.2v - 3000/3200/3466/3600/3733MHz 1.35V). Between the low-profile black heatspreaders HyperX has placed single rank 16GB A-Die memory chips by Hynix (for this specific kit - some of the kits have memory chips by Micron and perhaps others), their very own patent-pending infrared sync technology (ensures that the selected RGB effect is in sync with every module of the kit) and a RGB LED bar with a total of 8 effects and full compatibility with all the popular mainboard sync technologies (including ASUS AURA Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock RGB Sync). Typically, HyperX covers the entire Fury RGB line of DDR4 RAM with a limited lifetime warranty.
