• frequency 3000MHz
• CAS Latency (CL) 15
• DDR4 memory type
• memory capacity 16384 MB from 2 modules of 8 GB
• supply voltage 1.35V

A complete list of kits with frequency and volume can be found on the manufacturer's website.

A set of budgetary RAM HyperX Fury DDR4 HX430C15FB3K2 / 16 with a frequency of 3000 MHz is supplied in a transparent blister, standard for this manufacturer, through which you can see the memory modules themselves. The red sticker shows the manufacturer's code HX430C15FB3K2 / 16 and CL15 timings.

The delivery set of RAM is not surprising with something special: inside there are the HyperX Fury DDR4 HX430C15FB3K2 / 16 RAM itself, a sticker and installation instructions, but even without it the person who assembles a gaming computer for the first time can handle it.

HyperX Fury DDR4 belongs to the manufacturer's budget line, but the designers did a good job on the appearance of the new RAM. On my review, I have a set of 2 modules for a total of 16GB. The dies have a stylish, strict black low-profile radiator. Compared to older modules, the cooling radiator is now more aggressive thanks to straight lines and cut-throughs.

On the back of the modules there is a sticker, which contains the manufacturer's code HX430C15FB3K2 / 16, operating voltage 1.35V and information about the loss of warranty when the sticker is removed. By the way, HyperX provides a 10-year warranty on its RAM.

All memory chips are on one side, and the textolite is black. At the end of the radiator there is a white HyperX inscription. Due to the presence of a cooling radiator, the HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM does not overheat during overclocking, but we will talk about the potential of the modules a little later. On the side there is a chunky silver HyperX lettering.

The dimensions of the modules are 133.35 * 34.1 * 7.2mm, which allows them to be used with coolers that have massive heatsinks. There will be no problems during installation even when using such a monster as the Noctua NH-D15 in the system (pictured is my favorite Noctua NH-U12A)

Before overclocking HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM at 3000MHz, let's take a look at the test bench, which remains almost unchanged from test to test and you can compare the results with other reviews:

First, let's see what the Thaiphoon Burner utility tells us, which can read the SPD section of RAM modules. It turns out that the HyperX Fury DDR4 uses Hynix chips that were produced in June 2019 (25th week). There are two built-in low latency XMP profiles:

• 2666MHz 15-17-17-36-60
• 3000MHz 15-17-17-36-69

Now, if we open CPU-Z, we will see that there is also a JEDEC profile with timings 17-17-17-39-55 and 18-17-17-39-55, which operate at a voltage of 1.2V, and the memory itself is peer-to-peer.

To compare performance with increasing frequency, I tested the modules in Aida64 at frequencies of 2400, 3000, 3466 and the maximum stable overclocking frequency. I managed to overclock the memory as much as possible from 3000 to 3466, but the last frequency did not pass my standard 25-minute system stability test in Aida64 with the Stress CPU, Stress FPU, Stress cache, Stress system memory tests marked. The extremely stable frequency on my first generation Ryzen was 3400MHz with timings of 16-17-17-39, ProcODT = 53 and CR1. At a frequency higher than 3466 MHz, the system did not start. Most likely, stability can be achieved with a frequency of 3466 MHz, but it is already necessary to adjust the secondary timings.

If you are assembling a gaming computer with your own hands, then I will give the results of the Far Cry 5 performance test, from which it will be possible to find out how the increase in frequency affected the minimum number of frames per second when overclocking the HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM. At 3400MHz compared to 2400MHz, the minimum number of frames increased by 10 or 13.5%, 84fps against 74fps, and compared to 3000MHz by 7.6% or 6fps. You can get a 16% increase or 86fps at 3466MHz relative to 2400MHz, if you take the time to adjust the secondary timings. Screenshots from the game performance test are clickable.

As a result of testing, I can note that the new budget HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM has excellent overclocking potential at low timings. Inexperienced users will be able to increase the performance of their gaming computer by choosing an XMP profile or light settings for primary timings, while experienced people can squeeze the most out. Thanks to the aggressive black heatsink, the modules look stylish and the memory chips do not overheat. HyperX Fury DDR4 can be confidently called an excellent price-performance ratio. And if you are modding and need RGB backlit RAM, the HyperX Fury DDR4 RGB with infrared sync backlight is a good idea.

Although DDR4 memory is on its way, ordinary users are unlikely to be able to jump to the new standard right away. There are several reasons for this, the most important of which is the high cost of upgrading a PC. Due to this state of affairs, DDR3 memory will not quickly fade into the background, and it is still too early to write it off.

Many manufacturers adhere to the same opinion and continue to saturate the market with solutions of the DDR3 standard. More recently, Kingston has distinguished itself in this regard, announcing a new series called Kingston HyperX FURY. It is aimed at mass audiences and should replace the Kingston HyperX Blu line on store shelves. The new series includes kits with a frequency of 1333/1600/1866 MHz and a volume of 4/8/16 GB. In addition, there are four radiator paint options to choose from: black, blue, red and white. The memory can be purchased as separate modules with a capacity of 4 or 8 GB, and in sets of two. Their cost has not yet been announced, but, as in the case of the Kingston HyperX Blu line, Kingston also promises to pursue a very aggressive pricing policy here.

We will get acquainted with the new series of Kingston HyperX FURY using the example of the flagship memory kit with a capacity of 16 GB.

Packing and appearance of modules

DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 kit consists of two modules, which come in a plastic bag with a transparent top cover. It provides reliable protection of memory sticks during transportation from mechanical damage and static electricity breakdown. On top of the box, you can find a special tape with brief information about the set of memory and warranty conditions.

Inside the package, in addition to the modules themselves, there are also installation instructions and a sticker with the Kingston HyperX series logo.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 DDR3-1866 trims is the updated heatsink. The previous Kingston HyperX Blu series used two regular aluminum plates glued to memory chips. Here, the cooling system has a more complex configuration with a set of slots to improve convection and faster heat removal from the microcircuits. Note that the modules themselves have not increased much in size. The upper edge of the radiator protrudes just a few millimeters above the textolite. Therefore, memory from the Kingston HyperX FURY line will be compatible with most CPU coolers on the market today.

As practice has shown, the cooling system installed here perfectly copes with its task. During testing of the kit under continuous load, the temperature of the modules was only 39 ° С, while its competitors operating at the same speed, as a rule, are 5-10 ° С higher.

Just in case, we note that according to the specification, the maximum air temperature at which the DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 kit is allowed to operate is 85 ° C.

The strips themselves are made on black textolite, on both sides of which are attached 8 memory chips. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to remove the cooling system in order to study in more detail the configuration of Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 DDR3-1866 modules. We can only inform you that they use memory chips manufactured by SK Hynix, which are famous for their good quality and high overclocking potential. We will definitely check the last statement a little later during testing.

The sticker found on the memory modules contains a minimum of information. Only the marking (HX318C10FBK2 / 16), the number of bars in the kit (2) and the nominal supply voltage (1.5 V) are indicated. If you wish, you can visit the official page at this link, where the decoding of the marking of Kingston RAM modules is provided.

More complete technical information can be obtained using special utilities. We refused to use the popular programs AIDA64 and CPU-Z, since they interpret information from the SPD according to the old algorithm and not always correctly. To avoid possible inaccuracies, it was decided to use the Thaiphoon Burner utility, designed specifically for diagnosing memory modules. Below is a full report on the technical characteristics of modules from the Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 DDR3-1866 memory kit.

We want to pay special attention to the operating supply voltage. Here it is 1.5 V, that is, as in conventional DDR3-1333 MHz modules. Very often, for frequencies above 1600 MHz, it is necessary to increase the supply voltage in order to achieve stable operation of the entire system. As you can see, the use of better quality memory chips based on Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 DDR3-1866 modules made it possible to abandon this procedure.

This kit supports PnP (Plug and Play) technology, so after assembling your computer, you do not have to go into the BIOS menu and set the memory frequency and timings manually. The system will do all this automatically, and the most optimal option will be selected.

I would also like to note that the DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 kit is compatible not only with modern platforms, but also with those released several years ago, in particular, with Socket LGA1155 and Socket FM2. At the same time, the level of the chipset on the motherboard does not play a special role.

Before proceeding directly to testing, it is necessary to clarify one more detail concerning not only this kit, but the entire Kingston HyperX FURY series as a whole. Many resources, typing a note about the announcement of a new memory line, mentioned a certain automatic overclocking function, without delving into its features. Thus, they gave rise to a lot of speculation and controversy among the readers. So, let's just say that it has nothing to do with a similar function of automatic (dynamic) overclocking of a processor or GPU (when during a heavy load their frequency and voltage increase, and in the absence of such, on the contrary, they decrease). In Kingston HyperX FURY memory kits, this is simply a combination of two technologies: the PnP described above and Intel XMP. That is, if the level of the motherboard allows, then the XMP profile (DDR3-1866 10-11-10-30) is automatically loaded. Otherwise, the system uses one of the other modes recorded in the SPD memory (a table of all possible modes is presented above in the report of the Thaiphoon Burner program).

Testing

To carry out the tests, we used the following stand configuration:

CPU	Intel Core i7-3770K (3.5 GHz, 8MB L3, LGA1155)
motherboards	ASUS P8Z77-V PRO / THUNDERBOLT ASUS Z87-K (to check the overclocking potential)
	Thermalright SI-128 (LGA775) + VIZO Starlet UVLED120 (62.7 CFM, 31.1 dB)
Video card	ZOTAC GeForce GTX 480 AMP! (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480, 1.5 GB GDDR5, PCIe 2.0)
HDD	Hitachi Deskstar HDS721616PLA380 (160GB, 16MB, SATA-300)
Optical drive	ASUS DRW-1814BLT SATA
Power Supply	Seasonic M12II-500 (SS-500GM), 120mm fan

The opponent in testing was a set of 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) memory. Both kits were tested in the following operating modes:

	Operation speed, MHz	Delay set
Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16
G.Skill TridentX F3-2400C10D-16GTX

The analysis of the graphs obtained showed that changing the parameters of the RAM affects the performance of the proposed system. The AIDA64 benchmark clearly demonstrates that with an increase in the speed of the modules, the speed of copying / writing / reading from memory increases significantly. When switching from 1600 MHz to 1866 MHz, these indicators increased by 15-16%, and compared to 1333 MHz, the increase was already about 36-38%. As you can see, the difference is quite significant. True, the results in "synthetics" are one thing, but in real applications it is quite another. However, even in them, an increase in performance is observed after an increase in the speed of the RAM subsystem - by an average of 3-10%.

As for the comparison of DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 with its opponent, the latter showed slightly better performance at the same speed. This is due to the fact that DDR3-2400 DDR3-2400 G.Skill TridentX F3-2400C10D-16GTX memory is an overclocking kit and can work at the same frequency with lower timings. Whereas the DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 kit is aimed at a mass audience and is much cheaper.

Overclocking

However, if memory is not positioned as overclocking, this does not mean that it is not. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

The DDR3-1866 set of Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 was able to be accelerated without any problems from 1866 to 2400 MHz, which corresponds to an increase of 28.6% compared to the nominal frequency. At the same time, the supply voltage on the modules was increased to 1.65 V, and the timings had to be increased to 12-13-13-36 to ensure stable operation of the PC.

Such manipulations with memory parameters affected the system performance as follows:

Test package		In nominal mode (DDR3-1866 10-11-10-30)	After overclocking (DDR3-2400 12-13-13-36)	Difference, %
7Zip, Speed, KB / s

Average productivity gain,%

The average performance gain was 4.67%, which is a good result for RAM. Of course, in everyday programs or games (on a PC with a discrete video card), such an increase will not be noticeable to the eye, however, in "heavy" professional applications (CAD, systems for complex mathematical calculations, etc.) it can already have a more significant effect on them. high-speed performance.

As for the overclocking disciplines, the difference in performance here is more than substantial.

Frequency 1866 MHz, delays - 10-11-10-30

Frequency - 2400 MHz, delays - 12-13-13-36

Above are the results of the SuperPi (32M) benchmark, taken before and after overclocking the RAM. As you can see, the difference in the time taken to complete the test was just over 7 seconds.

An equally important factor is the temperature of memory modules after optimization of their parameters. During the experiment, they warmed up to 40.5 ° C, that is, the temperature increased by only 1.5 ° C compared to the nominal operating mode. Thus, we are once again convinced of the excellent efficiency of the cooling system installed here.

conclusions

New line of RAM Kingston hyperx fury turned out to be quite interesting. In our opinion, in the near future it has every chance of gaining great popularity in the budget segment. The 16GB flagship bundle clearly demonstrates how this can be achieved.

First of all, attention is drawn to the nominal characteristics: the operating speed of 1866 MHz at a voltage of 1.5 V, which gives a good groundwork for overclocking these modules. And the use of high-quality memory chips from SK Hynix allows you to fully implement it. For example, we managed to overclock the DDR3-1866 Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 kit from the nominal 1866 MHz to 2400 MHz without any problems.

Another important point is the availability of a sufficiently effective cooling system. It can be useful when assembling a compact PC or using a case with poor air circulation.

Do not forget about the support of PnP technology, which automatically selects the speed indicators of memory modules to achieve the optimal level of performance in any system. That is, the user is only required to connect them to the motherboard, and the system will set up their optimal operation on its own.

And finally, Kingston promises us a very attractive price, which, taking into account all of the above, can make the Kingston HyperX FURY HX318C10FBK2 / 16 DDR3-1866 memory kit the best buy in terms of price / feature ratio.

Company Kingston is a well-known manufacturer of computer components for personal PCs. But this manufacturer gained particular popularity thanks to the production of RAM. The manufacturing capacity of the company is such that today Kingston is one of the largest suppliers of RAM to the retail market. Focusing on consumers, Kingston announced a new line of memory modules in the spring of 2014 HyperX FURY... This memory line is designed for both regular home gaming personal PCs and powerful systems enthusiasts.

Kingston HyperX FURY memory modules are equipped with heatsinks in blue, black, red and even white. Users can choose between 4 and 8 GB memory sticks, or sets of two memory sticks with a total capacity of 8 or 16 GB. The clock speed of Kingston HyperX FURY, depending on the model, varies at frequencies of 1333, 1600 and 1866 MHz.

Packaging and appearance

Kingston has been packing its RAM in plastic blister packs for years, and the new HyperX FURY memory line is no exception. The plastic construction has a transparent top cover through which you can see the memory modules themselves. The sticker on the package, in addition to carrying basic information about the memory, also serves as a seal, allowing you to unmistakably establish the fact that the box has been opened.

The sticker itself contains a barcode, product labeling, and also indicates its main technical characteristics and the volume of the kit.

Inside the container, there is a place for each memory module. The modules are packed inside the package with the front side of the radiators so that through the transparent cover you can see the name of the line printed on the radiators in large white letters.

The Kingston HyperX FURY package is not rich and includes the memory modules themselves, a Kingston HyperX sticker, as well as a warranty card and instructions for installing memory modules.

What you should pay attention to first of all when getting acquainted with Kingston HyperX FURY memory modules is the design and shape of their heatsinks. In the opinion of our editors, such an asymmetrical form of heatsinks introduces some variety in the external presentation of memory modules. The special shape and curves of the radiators seem to hint at the aggressively tuned capabilities of this memory.

One side of the radiators bears the name of the new line of HyperX FURY, while the other contains a sticker with technical data and the name of the module model.

The upper edge of the radiators, which in Kingston HyperX FURY has taken a flat design, also contains the HyperX inscription, emphasizing the memory belonging to a certain series of Kingston products.

Aluminum radiators are easy to remove. Heat transfer from the contact pads of the microcircuits to the cooling radiators is carried out through special thermal pads.

All Kingston HyperX FURY models use black printed circuit boards. Each of the memory modules carries 16 microcircuits, 8 on each side. The capacity of each microcircuit is 512 MB, which gives a total of 8 GB of memory on each of the modules.

In the production of these memory sticks, Kingston uses SK Hynix chips marked H5TQ4G83MFR.

Thanks to the lacquered color of the heatsinks, the Kingston HyperX FURY memory on the motherboard looks very impressive. Recall that these modules are available for purchase in a choice of black, blue, red and white. Therefore, it will not be difficult to create a special design of the system, harmonizing the play of colors.

An important advantage of Kingston HyperX FURY RAM will be the height of the memory modules. Being extremely compact in height, this memory will not cause big problems when installing large air cooling systems.

To test Kingston HyperX FURY RAM, we assembled a test bench based on an Intel Core i7 4770k processor and an ASUS Z87-Plus motherboard.

Based on the data of the CPU-Z program, we can say with confidence that this memory was released relatively recently, in the 10th week of 2014. The memory modules have four built-in JEDEC profiles.

The maximum documented memory frequency is 1600 MHz. In this mode, the memory works with delays of 10-10-10-30-1T; the motherboard did not have any problems with auto-determining the optimal settings.

The performance in this mode corresponds to the average-static PC-12800 modules.

However, the normal operation at 1600 MHz for these memory modules is far from the limit, and practically the experiments with overclocking Kingston HyperX FURY fully prove this. So, in the hands of our editorial board, the tested modules were able to work immediately at a frequency of 2133 MHz without any problems. At the same time, the timings had to be increased in relation to the nominal ones by no means at all - 11-11-11-35-1Т.

In the synthetic benchmark Aida64, the performance increased significantly compared to the nominal 1600 MHz mode, and the memory latency also dropped significantly.

But this turned out to be far from the limit for Kingston HyperX FURY. Memory modules are overclocked even more, and the 2400 MHz bar has become the maximum frequency for them. The delays at this frequency were 12-12-12-44-1T.

This mode of operation allowed us to slightly increase memory performance while reducing latency in the popular synthetic benchmark Aida64.

Analyzing the overclocking success, it is worth saying that the tested Kingston HyperX FURY RAM is perfect for the 4th generation Intel Haswell platform. Good overclocking capabilities of Kingston HyperX FURY memory allowed to increase the memory frequency from 1600 MHz to an impressive value of 2400 MHz. These advances, in turn, have a beneficial effect on overall system performance, helping to reduce memory latency and increase data processing speed.

Conclusion

RAM Kingston HyperX FURY is not just a godsend for an overclocker, but also a win-win option for lovers of a beautiful system appearance. The new line of Kingston HyperX FURY RAM offers users not only a variety of colors, but also the ability to choose the desired amount of modules or kits. The price is also a plus for Kingston HyperX FURY. Even at the start of sales for modules of this series, the manufacturer does not ask for large financial investments, prices for Kingston HyperX FURY memory modules are comparable to competing solutions from other companies. That is why, in the case of assembling a gaming home system, Kingston HyperX FURY RAM can be recommended as the optimal purchase in terms of a combination of consumer qualities.

Appreciating Kingston HyperX FURY HX316C10FBK2 / 16 Our editors award the tested memory kit a gold rating.

We got our hands on a set of RAM, which is considered to be very productive and energy efficient. Moreover, it has an asymmetric heat spreader and low profile. Sounds good, but what exactly is Kingston HyperX FURY DDR4? Understanding!

Kingston HyperX FURY DDR4 comes in three colors (red, black and white). Of the little amenities, we note a lifetime warranty. Do not neglect the importance of its presence, because we have overclocked RAM here. Moreover, not only automatic: you can add voltage to the complete unusability of the modules. It's easier, of course, to limit yourself to using XMP 2.0 profiles. But those who nevertheless decide to conjure on their own, remember about the guarantee. And if you choose, say, a frequency of 2933 MHz with timings of 17-19-19-39 2T (VCCIO drops to 1.10 V, and VCCSA will be modest 1.20 V), the voltage will change and the black RAM will turn deadly black.

There are not many words to say about design, but we like it. The red color of the radiators, whose shape does not stand out for any special design delights, goes well with the blackness of the boards. Green would ruin everything, so Kingston well done. By the way, there is no backlight, which is both good and bad. For those wishing to assemble a bright (literally) system unit discrepancy FURY DDR4 an important IT trend is likely to become a critical flaw. At the same time, the absence of RGB reduces the price of an already expensive RAM, and will also appeal to those who want to assemble a powerful system in the first place, and beauty is not for them.

After carrying out the tests, we got many interesting results that are pleasant for Kingston and not really. So, using 1.35VDIMM and 1.25V and 1.35V for IO and SA, you can reduce stable timings, i.e. at 3466 MHz get 16-21-21-42 2T. Using similar voltages, it is possible to increase the frequency to a stable 3733 MHz. The 300 MHz boost is nice.

If we talk about software tests, then in AIDA64 the XMP1 profile stays at 3200 MHz, while the XMP2 falls as expected, which is, however, expected. Stretching the timings did not help much. In general, you can achieve a good drop in time by increasing your speed or fiddling with timings. Is it worth it? More likely no than yes.

However, we are not saying that FURY Red Series bad. By no means, we liked a lot about it. Its low profile is important for systems with large CPU coolers. In addition, not every gamer dabbles in water cooling systems. Limited voltage is required to run XMP 2.0 profiles, and they themselves are an undeniable plus.

The lack of RGB lighting comes at a price, so it's more of an advantage than a real disadvantage. Well, do not forget about such a simple, but pleasant looking thing, like the color scheme - black with red is definitely better than green with red.
