Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s CL40 Black XMP DIMM
The Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s CL40 Black XMP DIMM is a desktop memory module built for enthusiasts who want to push their next-gen gaming platforms, 4K livestreaming rigs, or 3D rendering workstations harder than stock settings allow. It ships with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles so overclock speeds and timings can be dialled in without manual tuning. On-die ECC keeps the system stable at elevated speeds, while dual 32-bit subchannels improve data throughput efficiency.
Why this product
XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles built in
Three XMP profiles are stored on the module — DDR5-5600 CL40, DDR5-5200 CL40, and DDR5-4800 CL38 — so performance targets can be selected in BIOS without manually adjusting timings. AMD EXPO support extends one-click overclocking to compatible AMD platforms.
On-die ECC for stability at speed
On-die ECC (ODECC) detects and corrects bit errors within the DRAM die itself, reducing the risk of crashes and data corruption when running at overclocked frequencies.
Dual 32-bit subchannels boost efficiency
DDR5 splits the memory bus into two independent 32-bit subchannels, allowing the controller to issue commands to each half separately and keep more data flowing at any given moment.
On-module PMIC for cleaner power delivery
The on-module power management integrated circuit (PMIC) regulates voltage locally on the DIMM, reducing dependency on the motherboard's power delivery and helping maintain consistent performance.
Low-profile heat spreader in black
The heat spreader measures 34.9 mm tall and is finished in black, keeping clearance tight enough for most CPU coolers while managing thermals during extended sessions.

- Performance ProfileIntel XMP 3.0 / AMD EXPO
- On-Die ECCYes
- ColorBlack
- SKUKIN-5668
- EAN740617325713
- Fits standard 288-pin DDR5 DIMM slots on Intel and AMD motherboards that accept DDR5 memory.
- Intel XMP 3.0 certified — enables automatic overclocking to 5600MT/s on compatible Intel platforms.
- AMD EXPO supported — compatible with AMD motherboards that implement the EXPO overclocking standard.
- Without XMP or EXPO enabled in BIOS, the module runs at the JEDEC default of DDR5-4800 CL40 at 1.1V rather than the rated 5600MT/s speed.
- This is a single-module kit (1×16GB); achieving dual-channel mode requires purchasing a second module and populating both matched DIMM slots.
- Not compatible with DDR4 motherboards — DDR5 modules use a different slot keying and voltage standard and cannot be interchanged.
Best for
- PC gamers on next-gen Intel or AMD platforms who want to run memory above JEDEC defaults using a single BIOS toggle rather than manual overclocking.
- Content creators doing 4K+ livestreaming or 3D rendering — the vendor explicitly lists these workloads as target use cases for this module.
- Builders prioritising CPU cooler clearance — at 34.9 mm tall the heat spreader is low-profile enough to fit alongside larger air coolers in most cases.
- Users who value overclocking stability — on-die ECC actively corrects bit errors at elevated speeds, which is absent on many competing DDR5 modules.
Trade-offs
- DDR4 platform owners — this module is DDR5 only and physically cannot be installed in a DDR4 slot.
- Laptop or SO-DIMM users — this is a full-size 288-pin DIMM intended for desktop motherboards only.
- Those who need registered or buffered memory — this is a Non-ECC Unbuffered DIMM and will not work in server or workstation boards that require RDIMM or LRDIMM modules.
- Builders wanting an out-of-the-box dual-channel kit — this is a single 16GB module; a matched pair must be purchased separately to run dual-channel.
