I purchased 2 kits (8GB x 4) of the HyperX Fury 16GB (8GB x 2) 3200MHz DDR4 (HX432C16FB3K2/16) memory for my latest computer build. The previous Kingston HyperX 2133MHz DDR4 memory that I used in my 2015 custom desktop system has always run flawlessly, so I decided to stick with a winning brand this time around also. Not surprisingly, this new 32GB of memory also ran flawlessly in the new system, and the low-profile DIMM styling/color nicely matches with my simple "Stealth" black/gray/silver, NON-RGB build.NOTE: Be aware that the default plug-and-play MHz rating of this RAM is 2400MHz for maximum compatibility purposes, but there are two standard XMP profiles for it in BIOS that can be set for either 3200MHz or 3000MHz.

Yep, it is CAS16 rated at 3200MHz - clue's in the model number - HX432C16FB3K2. Don't know why the description still mentions CL15 but then you can run this at CAS15 at a lower frequency. And this is the thing. According to Typhoon Burner, which is an excellent RAM interrogation tool, you can run this down to CAS10 but it will be at a much lower frequency of 667MHz. Also, one of the XMP profiles is indeed set to CAS15 but this will be at 3000MHz. So, it's all swings and roundabouts. You can reduce the CAS (which you can set in BIOS) but you'll also need to drop your frequency. Conversely, you can try overclocking this up to a higher frequency but you will probably need to up your CAS to 17 or

Kingston HyperX Fury HX432C16FB3K2/16 DIMM DDR4 16 GB Kit (2 x 8 GB) 3200 MHz, CL16 1Rx8, Black, bought direct from Amazon for £61.98.(My motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X).When I first installed this, I had the impression it was only going to run at 2400Mhz, but no, it's ok after all.I already have 2 x 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury installed, and they run automatically at 3200Mhz, but the model number is very slightly different (HX432C18FB2K2/16).However, I couldn't find another exact matching pair, so I risked buying these.The first pair are in A1 and B1, so I fitted these new ones in A2 and B2 and restarted the pc, and went into the BIOS, and it was all running at 2400 instead of 3200.

Memory has come a long way in the last 5 years when I built my computer. These sticks are DDR4, which were extremely expensive back just a few years ago which goes to show how volatile the price of memory can be. DDR4 sticks of a similar nature would be at least double the price back then.One thing to remember, is that DDR4 sticks need a new motherboard to take advantage with XMP support meaning you no longer need to tweak BIOS timing settings for your RAM. As long as this feature is enabled, then the motherboard will automatically set the values and utilise the maximum speed your systems supports. This leads to faster speeds overall that you may notice during RAM intensive scenarios such as caching game textures.The sticks look good.

The memory most likely works fine in other systems, but I bought this specifically for a Dell Alienware R8 i7 9700K and I'm having the same issues that I had when I upgraded to a similar set of HyperX Fury with a lower speed. Main issue off the bat is the random freezes then all my monitors going black, when the monitors come back on after 4 seconds on 3 of the 4 Monitors come back on. Once the freeze happens I have to unplug and plug back in the 4th monitor. The next issue is the audio will go out and will only come back with a restart. None of this happens if you use the Ram that comes with the system from Dell. I've tried both XMP profiles in the bios and each profile gives you a different issue.

Would that my own memory was this solid, but then we all forget things now and anon. Put 'em on my Asus Z490 mobo; my 'puter is FAST now. Used to take Bluestacks almost a minute to load - now it takes all of six seconds. Everything is faster, and it's really nice to find parts on Amazon/Best Buy/Newegg, etc., where you have a choice of NOT having to pay the most expensive price for the same article, be it memory, a processor, the mobo, whatever. I got my system built without a hitch. 'Cept, no new graphics card; maybe I'm not gullible or stupid enough to pay $1400.00 for a $600.00 graphics card. Why do people do this? Scarf up all the parts they can, then double the price and more, and hey,

The best thing one can say about a bit of computer kit is nothing, really. In other words you fit it and it performs well and you forget about it.And this RAM is a case in point. A familiar part and of course very necessary. The price vs performance was in the sweet spot for my budget and I recognised the name which, goes someway to giving some confidence.16 GB (2x8) isn't exactly exotic today, but it's plenty for doing intensive computer operations like Photoshop which, this PC is used for. Gamers inevitably will want more and perhaps those doing graphical video, although I'm sure this would be sufficient.Super well made with incorporated heatsink that is also a bit of a visual thing as well if having a PC with a clear side cover and lots of LED's are your thing.Overall,

I installed two of the 16GB 3200 MHz HyperX Fury DIMMs in my R7 and they are running in dual channel at their rated speed of 3200 MHz.From UserBenchMark:Kingston HyperX DDR4 3200 C16 2x16GB7,626 User benchmarks, average bench 91%2 of 4 slots used32GB DIMM DDR4 clocked @ 3200 MHzMake sure that you update to the latest BIOS and if you are buying two DIMMs that you insert them into the same color tabbed RAM slots to enable dual channel. On boot up, press and hold F2 to go into your BIOS, open the Advanced Tab, and make sure XMP-1 is selected. Then save and exit the BIOS and hopefully you will get a good boot. Use the program CPUz or Windows Task Manager to check the speed of your RAM.For more help see the discussion - Aurora R7,

I've got this RAM alongside 2x16GB Corsair Vengence modules, for a total of 48GB RAM. I've got an AMD 2700X processor and the RAM is currently clocked at 2933 MHz. It's all working perfectly. To be fair their really isn't much between the two sets of modules. The heat syncs on the HyperX ram are nice and the modules fitted into the board very easily.There are some interesting features such as the Intel XMP feature, but I'm using an AMD CPU so I can't comment on how well it works. The CAS Latencies are 15,16.I've given it 4 stars as it does appear to be at the top end of the cost for RAM at the moment. Perhaps if you are building a PC with the latest Intel Processors then it would be worth it,

What you have here is two sticks of 8gb of RAM, which is fine for the moment, although obviously looking forward a lot of motherboards have only two slots so if you think you'll ever need more than 16gb (unlikely surely) then you're limiting your options on expansion. Then again at this price - maybe you shouldn't care.DDR4 has been around a while now, so most newer PCs will take it, and luckily the timings and stuff mean a lot less now than they used to - its pretty much plug and play to the most of us, and tweakable to the rest of us, but do make sure your bios isn't on some slow mode like "safe boot" or something daft, it should otherwise be able to work it out.I had no issues at all with the RAM.

I got a 2x 16 32GB 3200MHZ kit with the intent of upgrading from my 2x8 stock 2666mhz ram in my Alienware aurora r7. Dell had the ram in the computer in the 2nd (1) and 4th (2) slots from the cpu (the order from cpu to front of case is listed as 3, 1, 4, 2 oddly). I first installed the ram in the same configuration. I had difficulty getting the system to post consistently, if I shut down fully the computer wouldn't boot up without a CMOS clear. I then decided to try and use the 1st (3) and 3rd (4) slots from the cpu and it immediately fixed the problem. The system booted immediately running XMP profile 1 (3200MHZ), with a CPU overclock and is 100% stable.

The HyperX FURY DDR4 memory kit's special feature is its ability to auto-overclock up to 3466 MHz. The XMP facility allows the motherboard to set the appropriate values without having to manually tweak the BIOS. This will obviously be of great help to many people, but XMP is not favoured by all and some people find it flaky, but it's not essential to the proper function of the memory so it's a matter of personal choice.Certainly for those who use the latest high end Intel Processor I would recommend these. They don't come cheap but you get plenty of bang for your buck with these cutting edge DDR4 modules.

I bought an Alienware Aurora R11 with an Intel i9 processor in September 2020 + figured I would replace the 8 GB memory it shipped with with 64 GB of this. It... did not quite work at the time. It worked on either JEDEC or XMP 2, but when I set the PC to XMP 1, it froze, sometimes loading BIOS, sometimes at the Windows Hello screen, sometimes after a minute or two later in Windows 10, version 2004. In short... not great!Finally, though, Alienware shipped BIOS 1.0.3 in November. After installing that, this memory is working great set to XMP 1. Rock solid, stable, no problems at all.

I'm super happy with the RAM I purchased. I'll admit I was slightly worried that something in my Alienware Aurora setup might have prevented me from installing all four modules, but when the RAM finally arrived it was a cinch to install and had no issues at all.Upon first boot up I had to confirm that I had changed my hardware at the BIOS screen, but after that Windows recognized the 64Gb without issue.It's been about a month since I purchased and installed the RAM and have not experienced any system stability issues, so I'm really happy with my purchase.

I bought 4 x 16 GB of these, replacing the original 32GB HyperX(FM) FURY 2933mhz ones on board. At first, when turned it on BIOS, it was recognized as 3000mhz, then I changed the XMP to profile 1, and saved/exit. Then it gave me the 4 flashing yellow!!, so I had to cut the power and manually restart it again to BIOS, then it was recognized at 3200 mhz just fine. Windows then booted without issues. and so far it seems stable to me, and command center showing memory running at 3192 mhz, so I think upgrade to 64 GB/ 3200mhz is done successfully.
