Our memory kit is rated at DDR5-6000 and is based on Hynix A-die IC. In most cases, I already know what memory IC can be found under heatsinks, but the black version of the FURY Renegade DDR5-6000 could also use Hynix M-die, so I was curious about what is in the white modules. Below you can see the photo of used memory chips. The modules are dual-rank, so it’s our first Hynix A-die dual-rank kit in tests, which makes everything more interesting.

Besides that, we can see that on all memory chips is a thermal tape, and on the PMIC, additionally quite thick thermal pads. It explains good thermal results before and after overclocking. I can only add that not all brands use thermal pads on PMIC, which causes worse overclocking results or even overheating at XMP settings when modules run at higher voltages. Our Kingston memory kit wouldn’t overheat at 1.35V, but it’s still good to have thermal pads for overclocking. Since Hynix A-die chips are in use, we are sure that the overclocking will be high. I will tell you some more about it on the next pages of this review.

The used PMIC is from Richtek, which unlocks higher than standard voltages. All leading motherboard manufacturers also support Richtek PMIC, so we are sure we won’t be limited in our overclocking challenges.

The tested memory kit has three XMP profiles at DDR5-4800, DDR5-5600, and DDR5-6000. Even if your motherboard can’t handle the DDR5-6000 profile, you can pick something at a lower frequency but still fast.

 

Factory Timing Parameters:
XMP Profile #1: DDR5-6000 CL32-38-38 @1.35V
XMP Profile #2: DDR5-5600 CL40-40-40 @1.25V
XMP Profile #3: DDR5-4800 CL38-38-38 @1.10V

Below you can see how ASUS Mem TweakIT reads the main DDR5-6000 profile.

The most important is stability at the rated frequency; with that, the Fury Renegade has no problems on Z790 motherboards. Our tests were performed on the ASUS Z790 APEX, which is the top overclocking motherboard, but at least at the XMP settings, every motherboard should work fine. The XMP profile was also tested on the Colorful B760M Frozen and MSI Z790I Edge motherboards. In all cases, there were no issues.

Below is a screenshot from AIDA64 System Stability Test, focused on cache and RAM.

During the tests, we haven’t seen higher temperatures than 60°C. Even after overclocking at higher voltages, the temperature was not much higher. As far as heat sinks aren’t especially large, they work well.

We will look closer at the package and memory modules on the next page.
