The Kingston Fury brand has been HyperX’s budget focused value brand with low height heatsinks (to avoid issues with CPU cooler compatibility), and they’re finally adding RGB functionality as it’s trickled down the product stack.
These new kits will be set at frequencies from 2400 to 3466MHz at CAS latencies from CL15 to CL19 and capacities up to 64GB for a kit of four and 32GB for a kit of two.
HyperX™, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company Inc., and brand leader in gaming and esports, today announced the release of FURY DDR4 RGB and a new look to the FURY DDR4 line-up. The new memory kits offer automatic Plug N Play1 overclocking functionality. For DDR4 users that need fast, high-density memory, HyperX has added models up to 64GB at 3466MHz

The new FURY models also feature Intel XMP-ready profiles optimised for Intel’s latest platform.
The HyperX FURY DDR4 RGB comes equipped with an LED light bar with fluid RGB lighting effects2 and utilises HyperX Infrared Sync, which allows the modules to remain synchronised without the use of cables. The memory is compatible with lighting control software from a range of motherboard vendors, including ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and MSI Mystic Light Sync. Additional information about software and motherboard compatibility is available online at respective partner websites.

Niche Gamer’s Take: If HyperX continues its history of pricing these well for those who don’t need the fastest or lowest latency memory these can be thrown into a lot of builds for those who want RGB on a budget.
Thankfully RGB memory has grown from its infancy when the RGB functionality would cause issues corrupting the SPD on the chip and cause instability issues as well as corrupt the XMP profiles.
