Kingston's latest addition to their Fury high-performance product line of DDR5 modules is the flagship FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition, only available (at the time of writing) as a 48GB kit. We were sent a prebuilt PC from Logix Systems featuring the new memory to test. The FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition comes in just one speed, 8,000MT/s and only as a 48GB kit. using a pair of single-rank 24GB DIMMs, The modules support three Intel XMP 3.0 profiles - 8000MT/s at 36-48-48-128-176 at 1.45V which is lower than the standard FURY Renegade DDR5-8000 memory kits that use 38-48-48 @ 1.45V timings. The other two profiles are 7200MT/s (38-44-44-105-149 @ 1.45V) and 6400MT/s (32-39-39-80-119 @1.40). The look of the 45.8mm high modules is inspired according to Kingston "by the love of cars and racing" so the design of module looks like the body side profile of an open-wheel (i.e. F1) race car and features a part carbon fibre look. The overall look and the red and black finish are very well done, and as you might expect with a limited edition, it looks totally different to the standard FURY Renegade DDR5 modules. Under the heat spreaders are 8 3GB SK hynix M-die ICs, along with a Richtek RTQ5132GQWF PMIC. The top of the module holds the lightbar, under which sits twelve addressable LEDs per module. Kingston backs the memory with a lifetime warranty. Specification Model Number: KF580C36RLAK2-48. Capacity: 48GB. Rated Frequency: 8000MT/s. Rated Timings: 36-48-48. Voltage: 1.45V. Module Height: 45.8mm. XMP/EXPO: XMP 3.0. Kingston's FURY CTR RGB Sync lighting control software looks after the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition lighting schemes. The software supports eighteen lighting effects but it appears the memory only supports twelve of them. In some of the effects, each of the twelve LEDs can be assigned a different colour. Even better, the modules can be set up in sync or act as individual units with each module having its own light scheme, so you can set up some pretty funky effects. In the top bar, there is a handy button marked DDR5 which when pressed displays information about the module speeds. We were sent a complete system with the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition kit installed in it to test with, beautifully built by Logix Systems. The system used an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, a Gigabyte B650E AORUS Stealth Ice motherboard and a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Aero 12G graphics card. We used this system to test the memory and so we can't compare the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition results with any of the other modules we've tested to date. The memory runs natively at DDR5-4800 with 40-39-39-77-116 timings at 1.1V. The fastest Intel XMP 3.0 profile of the three supported by the module boosts this to DDR5-8000 using 36-48-48-129-176 timings at 1.45V. Tests: 7-Zip v19.00 – Built-in 7-Zip benchmark test (CPU & Memory). Cinebench 2024 – All-core CPU benchmark (CPU & Memory). HandBrake H264 – Convert 1440p60 H264 video to 1080p60 H264 using the YouTube HQ 1080p60 preset (CPU & Memory). AIDA64 – Memory bandwidth, memory latency (Memory). Total War Pharaoh. Final Fantasy XIV-Dawntrail. Memory Bandwidth As stated above we can't directly compare test results from the Kingston Fury Renegade Special Edition 8000MT/s with our other tested modules. But looking at these results they are in the ballpark for the other modules we've tested in an AMD system. Compute and Productivity Tests As with the AIDA64 results, the Kingston Fury Renegade Special Edition 8000MT/s results from Cinebench, 7-zip and Handbrake are in the ballpark of other fast modules we've tested. Office Productivity - PCMark 10 When tested with PCMark 10, the 8000MT/s Kingston kit delivered the fastest Digital Content Creation score we've seen to date while testing memory on an AMD platform. Gaming The gaming tests show a marked improvement over the other tested modules by quite some margin, particularly for the Total War Pharaoh Battle benchmark. Kingston's latest flagship memory kit for the FURY range of high-performance memory modules is the FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited Edition. It only comes as a 48GB (2 x 24) running at 8000MT/s with timings of 36-48-48-128 at 1.45V under the fastest of the three Intel XMP 3.0 profiles provided, the other two being 7200MT/s and 6400MT/s. The modules are single-rank 24GB DIMMS using eight 3GB SK hynix M-die ICs. Today we were sent this memory kit in a swish prebuilt system from Logix Systems. The design of the heat spreaders has been inspired by to quote Kingston "a love of cars and racing" and if you happen to look at the rear of the module first (the side with the product label) you may wonder what all the fuss is about. However looking at the front of the module, the design of it does resemble the side profile of an open-wheeled (e.g. an F1) race car with the gap between the engine cover and rear spoiler filled with a carbon fibre-looking effect. It's very well done and as you might expect for a special edition, the modules certainly look different to the rest of the FURY Renegade clan. The RGB system comprises twelve LED segments per module. These LEDs are very bright but they can be turned down in the software. The LEDs are controlled by Kingston's FURY CTR RGB Sync software which is downloaded from the Kingston site. The software has eighteen lighting effects but it seems only twelve are supported by the memory modules. There is a wide colour palette and modules can be synced or set up as individual units so pretty much the sky is the limit when it comes to custom schemes. If you want the memory to be integrated into an existing light scheme then most of the 3rd party software is catered for with support for ASRock Polychrome Sync, Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync and Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.0. Although Kingston's Fury Renegade DDR5-8000MT/s Limited Edition is aimed at Intel platforms it will still run on an AMD platform even though it doesn't have an EXPO profile, but as always and particularly with memory running at this speed, check the motherboard compatibility. We found Kingston's FURY Renegade RGB DDR5-8000MT/s 48GB Limited Edition kit on Ebuyer for £319.96 HERE. You can view Logix Systems HERE. Pros Build quality. Heatspreader design. 48GB (2x24GB) kit. Con Motherboard compatibility. Pricey. KitGuru says: Kingston's Fury Renegade DDR5-8000MT/s Limited Edition has the lowest CAS (CL) rating for a consumer DDR5-8000 kit at the time of writing, but you do have to choose the right motherboard to get it running at full speed and it is pretty pricey.
