Kingston FURY Renegade KF436C16RBK2/16 Review
Kingston FURY Renegade KF436C16RBK2/16 is a 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 performance kit using hand-picked, screened memory ICs for tighter timings than the FURY Beast line, in a compact capacity for gamers who don't need 32GB.
Screened Dies for Tighter Timings
FURY Renegade modules go through additional IC screening compared to the Beast line, which is how Renegade holds CL16 at 3600MHz, a tighter latency-to-frequency ratio than most Beast SKUs at the same speed.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Kingston FURY Renegade KF436C16RB2K2/32 already in the catalog is the same speed and latency but at double the 32GB capacity, choose this 16GB kit if that capacity would go unused. Compared to the non-Renegade Kingston FURY Beast KF432C16BBK2/16, this kit trades a bit more cost for a real frequency and latency upgrade.
