INTRODUCTION

    When the very first DDR5 kits made their appearance on the global stage roughly 3 years ago we knew that the theoretical maximum supported speeds would end up at well over 8GHz. As a matter of fact, when the first kits started rolling in the lab i mentioned in some of my reviews that it should be possible for DDR5 to reach and even surpass 10GHz eventually if manufacturers could find ways to "combat" the very high temperatures resulting by those speeds. Well, the first such kits were introduced during this year's Computex and even though they are not really yet available (more accurate to say the first prototypes, meaning it may take a while before we actually see them in the market) today with me I have the next best thing, the latest FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition 48GB DDR5 8000MHz CL36 Dual-Channel Kit by Kingston.

    Unlike the rest of their FURY DDR5 lines for the limited edition FURY Renegade RGB 48GB DDR5 8000MHz CL36 Dual-Channel Kit (yes, currently only one kit available - XMP 3.0 compatible, 1.45V) Kingston has used new red and black aluminum heatspreaders inspired by racecars which i do hope they use again (they do stand out). Inside the 45.8mm tall red and black heatspreaders of this kit Kingston has placed SK Hynix single die modules and a total of 12 ARGB LEDs on top (12 available effects via the FURY CTRL app and also compatible with all the leading RGB motherboard sync technologies like ASUS Aura Sync, GB RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome) using their patented infrared sync Technology. Once again Kingston covers their FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition kit with a limited lifetime warranty.
