Kingston FURY Beast KF560C30BBEK2-32

Speed and CL only mean something together: 30 cycles at 6000MT/s is 10ns of real delay. That beats 54% of the desktop DDR5 kits in our catalog. The full timings are 30-36-36. tRCD and tRP sit 6 clocks above the CAS latency, so compare full timings, not just CL, against other kits at this speed.

This is for DDR5 desktops: AMD AM5 on 600 or 800 series chipsets, and Intel 600, 700 or 800 series boards with DDR5 slots. It physically will not go into a DDR4 board. 6000MT/s is the sweet spot on AM5, where the memory controller runs 1:1 with the memory for the lowest latency. It carries both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, so one click in the BIOS sets the rated speed on either platform. Out of the box it runs at the JEDEC default of 4800MT/s CL40 and 1.1V. Enable the XMP 3.0 or EXPO profile in the BIOS to reach 6000MT/s.

Two 16GB modules fill two slots in dual channel, which is the configuration boards run fastest with. If you might want more memory later, buy the bigger two-stick kit now. Four DDR5 modules rarely hold their rated speed. 32GB is the comfortable amount for gaming and creative work in 2026.

No RGB lighting, black heat spreader. At 34.9mm tall it clears most large air coolers. The memory chips are not disclosed. That only matters if you plan to tighten timings manually. Warranty: limited lifetime.

It scores 8.3 out of 10 on our DDR5 Speed Score, which weighs transfer rate and true latency against every other DDR5 kit we list. Do not compare it with DDR4 scores.
