Kingston.com has a labor day weekend sale on most of the stuff. Expired

On sale are the new Kingston Fury Beast series (see notes later on these vs earlier HyperX).

Unfortunately, many of the choices including all 32Gb kits were sold out by the time I found this. But there are some choices still available in both RGB and non RGB versions. You can also buy multiple single modules to use in pairs.

About these sticks:

Kingston sold the HyperX brand to HP. So anything now sold with HyperX Fury is old stuff.

Fury Beast is the affordable version and Fury Renegade is the high performance version in the current line.

These were announced in June of this year and there are only 2 online reviews both recommending them

https://www.eteknix.com/kingston-...r4-review/

https://newbcomputerbuild.com/ram...satisfies/

For comparison, these are equivalent to Crucial Tactical Ballistix (no longer in production) which is between the now available Ballistix and Ballistix Elite and very close to the much more expensive Elite. Even Ballistix are more expensive now. These are at Silicon Power pricing.

These seem to be using Samsung D die (at least the 3200mhz C16) and can be mildly overclocked but not for extreme overclocking beyond rated. Amount of memory you have is more important than overclocking.

I have used Kingston off and on in memory and SSDs for a long time and they have always been reliable if not the top in performance but good value. Have had them replace memory under lifetime warranty without any issues even after some 8 to 10 years upgrading to best available.

Buying from Kingston.com makes warranty service easier.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Don't know why they don't link the data sheets to that shop page.

When you select a configuration, the model number appears next to the price. If you google that model number, the data sheet link will appear at the top of the search list.
Just wanted to say Thank You! This is one of the final parts of my build I'm finally able to complete after waiting for a GPU for 6 months. This will be great. Thanks again.
I will buy 16g of these and sell the 8g of Dell OEM

Typically you don't want to mix because there may be compatibility issues, and the timings may not match. Most people get two of the same. Up to you though.

Not very knowledgeable on computers… but just bought a dell desktop that has 1x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz (item 370-AFKP).

It has an extra spot for ram. I should just be able to buy the black 1x8 ddr4 2666mhz from here and it'll work?
It may work just fine. However, I've always added Memory in pairs from the same Manufacture.

Typically you want to use all the same brand/type of RAM

The website says the original price is only a few bucks more? Which one is slashed from 72.99 to 32 dollars?

Nobody said it is slashed from $73 to $32.

The discounts are typically 15% or so. The 15% can translate to a few bucks or to much more depending on the regular price.

So all reviews I read show such a tiny difference between RAM timings, is it really worth getting 3600 vs 3200 for so much extra?

For most people no.

If you are playing some games in 1440p, you may get higher FPS but more significant between 2k and 3k or between 3k and 4k types of difference. If the latency varies so they are all pretty much at 10ns or 12ns then no practical difference.

If overclocking, the higher speed MAY have a different memory chip/die that overclocks better. Typically not within the same line. Irrelevant if you are not trying to eke out the marginal improvements.

In terms of deals, higher speed RAM is often at a better discounted sale and cheaper than a lower speed RAM given the crazy pricing at other brands or one-off sales.

Received the 2x8GB 3200 kit.

Some info after installing it.

Thaiphoon burner confirmed Samsung D-die in this 8GB stick as I had mentioned in the OP.

On its own, both the XMP profiles on it 3000 C15 and 3200 C16 worked out of the box, on a MSI Z370 MB.

But I needed to run it together with a pair of Crucial Tactical Ballistix 3000 C15. I thought the 3000 C15 profile would work for both but it wouldn't boot. I switched the pairs for the mother board to take the Crucial's 3000 C15 profile. It worked to have both at 3000. As a bonus, the Kingston was able to run at the tighter latency of Crucial C15-16-16-35 rather than its XMP profile of 15-17-17-36. Crucial has the Samsung E-die.

Surprise was in running the Passmark memory benchmark test.

Got the following:
Memory Mark 3504
Memory read uncached 18.6GBps
Memory Write 14.53GBps
Latency 30ns

This performance for "underclocked" but tighter latency ia actually better than the average benchmark for a lot of the competing 3200 C16 brands like Corsair Vengeance, G,Skill Ripjaws V, etc running at their 3200 C16 XMP profile!. It is slightly below the G.Skill Trident series, the only one that had better performance over this in stock 3200 C16 profile according to Passmark database.

Not at all bad for a budget priced pair of memory sticks. Would definitely buy again if it comes on sale.
