Package and its Contents
FURY Renegade arrived in a retail package, which is a small, flat box. The box is about the same as we could see in the previously reviewed Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5-6400.
The package contains two memory modules, a Kingston Fury logo sticker, and a user guide. This is enough to install our brand-new RAM. The installation is straightforward, and even less advanced users can handle it without problems.
The 7200MT/s memory kit looks similar to the previously reviewed 6400MT/s, but it has an RGB light bar on top of the heatsinks. Like all Kingston memory kits, it also supports infrared synchronization, which is the best option on the market as we don’t need support on the motherboard’s side to synchronize RGB effects.
Heat sinks are good enough to keep modules stable during work and also after some overclock. We must remember that the PMIC and modules together generate more heat than the previous DDR series, so they also require good airflow while overclocking. Modules at higher voltages than standard shouldn’t be installed in very small and tight computers.
The tested memory kit uses Hynix A-die IC, which is known to require lower voltages at the same frequencies as the Hynix M-die or competitive IC from Samsung. It still has similar thermal limits above, which will start to generate errors. As long as DDR5 is designed to work up to even 90°C and more, then at higher than standard (read JEDEC default specifications), it may lose stability at 65°C+.
The FURY Renegade looks great, especially with RGB illumination. The RGB can be controlled in the OS and is compatible with all popular motherboards. We had no problems on ASUS and MSI motherboards on which the reviewed RAM was tested.
Below you can see some photos of the test platform. Our test results are on the next page of the article.
