INTRODUCTION
Capacity, speed/frequency, latency, build/component quality and looks, these are the 5 factors consumers and professionals alike weigh when out to get a brand new RAM kit. Still not everyone can always afford to go big and so even though one can easily find even 256GB DDR4 kits in the market today the majority of the consumer market is just going for 16/32GB kits. Now as some of you are already aware recently Kingston sold their HyperX subsidiary/brand to HP and so since they no longer had a gaming oriented DDR4 line to call their own in the market the very first order of business was to release some under a new brand name, FURY. Well, today's review is about the FURY Renegade DDR4 RGB line and more specifically the dual-channel 32GB 3600MHz CL16 kit.

The latest FURY Renegade RGB line of DDR4 modules by Kingston is XMP 2.0 certified and is currently available in 8/16/32GB single, 16/32/64GB dual, 32/64/128GB quad and 256GB 8-channel kits (the KF436C16RB1AK2/32 kit was used in this review) with frequencies all the way up to 4600MHz (3000/3200MHZ/3600/4000/4266/4600MHz), CAS latency set as low as 15 (3000MHz CL15 - 3200/3600MHZ CL16 - 4000/4266/4600MHz CL19) and voltages up to 1.5v (3000/3200/3600/4000MHz 1.35v - 4266MHZ 1.4v - 4600MHz 1.5v). Inside the low-profile black heatspreaders HyperX has placed dual rank 8GB D-Die memory chips by SK Hynix (this applies to the model tested today, other models in this line may have memory chips by other manufacturers), Kingston's 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 (controllable by their new FURY™ CTRL software) 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). As always Kingston covers the entire FURY Renegade RGB line of DDR4 RAM with a limited lifetime warranty.
