CONCLUSION

    Just like the 8400MT/s CUDIMM RAM kit before it the latest FURY Renegade RGB 48GB DDR5 8800MT/s model by Kingston offers excellent performance and stability. Unfortunately, with the same clocks and up to 1.45V I was unable to push this kit to over 8800MT/s and well, that’s fine since performance is already great (loosening clocks should allow you to hit 9000MT/s however but performance wouldn’t change much, if at all). This limitation of course may not be due to the kit itself but the Z890 ASRock Taichi Lite motherboard which is why I may swap for something better sooner rather than later. Another thing I found interesting about this model is that although faster than its predecessor (8400MT/s kit) it requires less voltage (1.45V – 1.4V) and that’s always a good thing.

    As I type these lines the FURY Renegade RGB 48GB 8800MT/s CL42 CUDIMM Dual-Channel Kit by Kingston (KF588CU42RSAK2-48) retails for USD392.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 390Euros inside the EU so it’s not quite affordable. That being said this is a kit that’s compatible only with some of the best Intel Z890 motherboards out there so cost shouldn’t be much of an issue for owners of those. At the end of the day this kit delivers in performance, capacity and looks and since it’s the fastest one to arrive in the lab to date it deserves the Platinum Award.
