The tested memory kit contains two 32GB memory modules based on Hynix A-die IC. It’s one of the best overclocking ICs on the market, and it’s used in memory kits up to 8000MT/s. It’s challenging to overclock SODIMM modules, especially when most laptops and desktop motherboards won’t let us overclock RAM at all.
There is one advantage of the Kingston Impact series memory. Something as simple as an optimized SPD profile, which always works as “Plug and Play” since it’s recognized as a standard memory profile. In short, when all other brands use standard JEDEC profiles programmed in SPD, Kingston Impact gives us faster settings at a safe timing range and standard voltages, so we can enjoy faster RAM on computers that don’t have overclocking capabilities.
We won’t cover that in this review, but Kingston Impact is also the only SODIMM DDR5 on the market with XMP profiles and unlocked higher voltages, so on computers that support XMP or overclocking, we can set the highest possible frequencies.
The tested Kingston FURY Impact 5600MT/s kit uses ANPEC PMIC. It’s not as popular as Richtek, but it also works well and lets you unlock voltages above the standard 1.10V. I will tell you more in the overclocking section of this review, as we successfully overclocked the reviewed memory kit.
Below, you can see the programmed profile.
Factory Timing Parameters:
• SPD/PnP Profile #1: DDR5-5600 CL40-40-40 @1.10V
Below, you can see how ASRock Timing Configurator reads the DDR5-5600 profile.
The most important is stability at the rated frequency; with that, the Fury Impact has no problems on our Minisforum AR900i motherboard. The motherboard is quite unusual as it uses a laptop CPU, but this is exactly what you can expect on high-end laptops.
Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 System Stability Test, focused on RAM.
Since modules use 1.10V VDD/VDDQ, we won’t have problems with overheating. During tests, we haven’t noticed any issues.
If we use the DDR5-5600 kit on an AMD Ryzen device, it will run at DDR5-5200 CL38-38-38 1.10V since AMD officially supports DDR5-5200. It’s not so spectacular, but again, it’s the fastest you can get out of the box on a platform that doesn’t support XMP or manual overclocking.
We will look closer at the package and memory modules on the next page.
