Kingston Fury Beast 64GB 4800MT/s DDR5 CL38 XMP 3.0 Ready Computer Memory (Kit of 2) KF548C38BBK2-64

I can't stress this enough in reviews and verbally to people I know that... Check Compatibility and QVL across every piece of equipment that they plan to build a new PC with, it's crucial. The CPU in my current build is an AMD Ryzen 7 7700x and I was looking for the best performance and highest transfer rates that is compatible with both the motherboard and the CPU. I searched for hours and scrolled through a very long Compatibility list on MSI support site for the MSI PRO B650M-A wifi motherboard and this was the best fit for budget and performance. Enabled A-XMP Profile 1 which had the 5200 MT/s I needed for my CPU and off we went to boot and load up the system.Stability was not an issue with this product from the get-go and its Memory Quality, I trust over any other brand or Manufacturer or RAM, hands down. Color isn't an issue as the motherboard is black so the RAM being black blends well. You won't regret your purchase if you do it right and check, check, check your QVLs. I'd highly recommend this!

It works great as expected.

Unfortunately I bought 2 kits of these from Amazon within 3 days if difference. The first set was priced as twice the value of the rest of sellers on Market Place, well as the suggested price on Kingston Site, but I chose Amazon because the seller ratings did not appeal to me. Also I got confused because the item was described as a kit of 2 ram sticks, and then product picture it has the 2 Pack stamp, sobI thought that ai would be receiving 2 kits of 2 sticks —4 sticks. Wrong! When I realized mu mistake I went on to purchase another kit (3 or 4 days later?) and to my surprise the price tag was almost half of the first purchased, presented as a Prime deal. I felt cheated.But that is Amazon. Regarding the product itself: Kingston Technology Fury Beast, this is my second time installing that on a new PC build (the first one a previous version). The quality of the product is great. None of the sticks was faulty or DOA. Its low profile (even with heat sink) is great when, like in my case, you need to mount a fairly large CPU cooler. I don’t usually overclock but during installation testing of DRAM behavior. These passed with flying colors. As for durability, my first set (previous version) has been running almost daily for 8 to 10 hours. None has fail mr yet.In sum: Very happy with quality. Not so much with Amazon pricing.

Unless you want RGB "bells & whistles" this is a 4800 memory DDR5 to use. We always install a base (4800) natively compatible in our builds to avoid an overclocking non-compatibility. We then let our customers do their own overclocking as they like.Most other speed memory is overclocked at the factory so you never know what you are going to get. We prefer to err on the side of basics. This base memory will serve you well and its selling at a reasonable price now - anyway as of July 2022.

Nov 25, 2022: Used this in a new build with a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite motherboard - I had to update the BIOS and clear the CMOS before the motherboard would recognize this memory. I used the Z690AORUSELITEAX.F20b BIOS file from the Gigabyte website.Note that this was mailed to me via the USPS in a padded envelope rather than in a box with packing material - I am both pleased and surprised the memory wasn't damaged in shipping.

I've had this memory running for about a week now with no issues to report.

Bought two sets. Identically packaged, Identically labelled, but one is clearly a DDR4. How could this happen, and the fact that it has makes me worried about what other quality control issues there may be.

Motherboard is Asus Tuf z-690 plus. Kinston lists this ram as compatible for the motherboard on their website. Even with xmp enabled it still shows as 16gb in bios and in windows 10. Reached out to kingston and I'm still waiting on a reply back.
