With the release of Intel's 12th generation Core platform, memory has finally received an upgrade, and the next generation of AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors will also fully embrace DDR5 memory. It can be said that in order to fully utilize the performance of future high-end platforms, it must be paired with DDR5 Memory is essential. On the other hand, major memory manufacturers are also actively laying out new product lines and launching new DDR5 memory. This time we got the high-frequency strip DDR5 6000 16GB×2 set of the Kingston FURY Beast series. Let’s take a look. Look at its performance.

Kingston FURY DDR5 memory provides 4800MHz Various specifications to 6000MHz Models are available for players to choose from. For hardware enthusiasts and gamers who pursue ultimate performance, 6000MHz FURY Beast DDR5 memory is a more ideal choice. Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 memory inherits the appearance style of the FURY Beast series and adopts a pure black metal heat dissipation armor design with a strong metallic texture. The FURY metal nameplate logo can be seen on the front and in the center on the right Location is the product name of BEAST.

The matte black surface is matched with the concave and convex mecha texture, and the appearance is highly recognizable. Of course, as a "faith" equipment, RGB lighting is not absent (previously, Kingston launched a matte version of DDR5 memory). It is worth mentioning that Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 memory uses Kingston FURY's patented infrared synchronization technology. When multiple memories are installed on the motherboard, the lighting effects of each memory can remain consistent, effectively avoiding motherboard software synchronization. The problem of failure is especially suitable for gamers with "full memory".

In addition, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 supports , ASUS light sync, MSI Mystic light, Gigabyte RGB FUSION and other mainstream motherboard brands’ light synchronization. Players can quickly adjust the memory lighting effects directly through the motherboard’s control software. If you want to experience more lighting effects, you can also choose FURY CTRL control software. Currently, this software only supports downloading and installation in the Microsoft store. There are 16 preset lighting effect types in FURY CTRL. Each preset can be individually adjusted according to the player's preferences. It supports saving and exporting configuration files to facilitate players to create personalized console lighting effects.

high bandwidth and high frame rate , the performance is significantly improved

Test platform

Processor: Intel Core i9 12900K

Memory: Kingston FURY Beast (Beast) DDR5 6000 16GB×2

Motherboard: ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO

Graphics card: ROG STRIX RTX3090 O 24G

Hard drive: WD_BLACK SN850 2TB

Power supply: ROG Thor 1200W

Operating system: Windows 11 Professional version

The specific memory model used this time is Kingston FURY Beast (Beast) DDR5 6000 16GB×2 set. From the CPU-Z identification information, Kingston FURY Beast (Beast) DDR5 6000 memory uses Hynix particles, which is very stable in terms of stability. The processor participating in the test is Intel Core i9 12900K, and the motherboard is ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO. This motherboard supports ROG OPTIMEM III third-generation memory optimization and can better support high-frequency DDR5 memory.

Kingston DDR5 memory, as the first third-party supplier to obtain Intel platform verification, has good compatibility with Intel 12th generation platform. This product also supports the XMP 3.0 standard, making it easy for players to customize switching for different applications or usage scenarios. The memory defaults to the JEDEC standard 4800MHz frequency, the default timing is 40-39-39-39-77, and the voltage is 1.1V. The XMP Profile of the memory can be read from the BIOS of ROG OPTIMEM III. The are 4800MHz@38-38-38-70/1.1V, 5600MHz@[email protected] and 6000MHz@40-40 respectively. -40-80/1.35V.

We know that the biggest change of DDR5 memory compared to DDR4 memory is the higher frequency. Its basic frequency has reached 4800MHz, which greatly improves the memory read and write performance.Taking the dual-channel Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 memory as an example, you can see that the read speed of DDR5 memory at the native 4800MHz frequency can reach 75555MB/s, and the write speed can reach 69363MB/s. Compared with the common DDR4 3600 memory, the reading performance has been improved by 38%, and the writing and copying performance has been improved by about 30%. Under the default setting of

, the base frequency of 4800MHz can only be regarded as entry-level DDR5 memory, which naturally does not reflect the performance strength of this high-frequency DDR5 memory. Next, we enable XMP in the BIOS of the ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard and select 6000MHz@40- 40-40-80/1.35V profile. At this time, the performance of Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 can be exerted "normally", with the reading speed reaching 93748MB/s, the writing speed reaching 83375MB/s, the copy speed reaching 84583MB/s, and the memory delay reduced by 18%. Compared with DDR4 3600 memory, the improvements are 71, 55%, and 54% respectively, which completely widens the gap with DDR4 memory. In the 7-ZIP and WINRAR benchmark tests, the higher bandwidth DDR5 6000 memory leads DDR4 memory by 19% and 15% respectively. From the results of the

benchmark test, we can see that, except for a slight increase in latency, DDR5 memory has a huge lead. In fact, DDR4 memory will also bring higher latency when overclocked to the extreme, while DDR5 still has room for optimization in timing while improving bandwidth. Moreover, most games are not as sensitive to latency as their frequency (bandwidth) requirements. Especially for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5, which uses specially selected particles from major manufacturers, it can effectively increase game performance.

In the specific game performance test, we used 1080P resolution and the highest image quality preset. Kingston FURY Beast (Beast) DDR5 6000 memory has a certain frame rate compared to DDR4 3600 memory in and in most games. Improvement, the average frame rate increase can reach about 5%, only in individual games such as "CS:GO" that particularly rely on memory delay, there is a "negative optimization" effect. It can be seen that DDR5 memory can significantly improve game performance, and as DDR5 memory matures and games are further optimized, the advantages of high-frequency DDR5 memory in game performance will become more and more obvious in the future.

Of course, the frequency of 6000MHz is not the limit of this memory, and enthusiast players can also try overclocking to higher frequencies to obtain greater performance improvements. Here we directly select the 6000MHz configuration file in the BIOS of the ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard, and then select DDR5-6400MHz in the DRAM Frequency ( memory frequency ) option. Then we tightened the memory timing and set it to 38-38-38-76, and finally increased the Memory Controller Voltage ( memory controller voltage) from 1.35V to 1.4V. After saving the settings, the computer started up successfully. At this time, the memory was overclocked to 6400MHz@38-38-38-76.

Judging from the test results after overclocking, the AIDA64 memory test read performance directly exceeded 10GB/s, and the reading, writing and copying were improved by 7%, 6% and 6% respectively compared to 6000MHz. Since not only the memory frequency is increased during overclocking, but also the timing parameters are further tightened (you can also choose to increase the frequency, but the corresponding timing parameters must be relaxed), so the delay is also reduced, which shows that the overclocking potential of this memory is considerable , which can fully meet the performance needs of enthusiast players.

Summary: To build a high-end platform, high-frequency DDR5 memory is the first choice

The latest news shows that Intel’s 13th generation Core Raptor Lake-S processor will natively support DDR5 5200 memory. Judging from the previous test results, the 6000MHz memory frequency has a negative impact on platform performance. The improvement is very obvious, so it is recommended that players with sufficient budget buy high-frequency DDR5 memory in one step. For example, this Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 memory has personalized heat dissipation armor and RGB lighting effects. The specially selected particles allow this memory to be preset with a high-frequency XMP configuration from the factory. It is worry-free to use and has relatively high performance. Compared with mainstream DDR4 memory, the bandwidth has almost doubled, and it also has considerable advantages over the native 4800MHz frequency DDR5 memory. If you are planning to build a high-end platform, you can consider the Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 6000 16GB×2 memory set.
