Kingston HyperX Fury is a “Gaming RAM”

The HyperX Fury is more a gaming RAM. Well, you might be thinking what’s difference between a gaming RAM and an ordinary RAM. Gaming RAM offers smooth performance for your daily application usage and doesn’t affect the system performance. So, if you think that a regular RAM offering a speed of 1333MHz or 1600MHz is same as the one offered by a gaming RAM, then you are slightly mistaken as gaming RAM are completely different in terms of performance and thanks to Kingston, the HyperX Fury falls in the range of gaming RAM.

Design:

Kingston HyperX Fury RAM comes in four separate colors: Red, Black, Blue and White along with a RAM size of 8GB or 16GB. The asymmetric heat-spreader design on top gives a visual bling which makes RAM more interesting. The asymmetric heat-spreader keeps the RAM cool even on extreme usage.

HyperX Fury offers “Automatic Overclocking”

The most notable feature of Kingston HyperX Fury RAM is “Automatic overclocking”. If you are a user who finds it difficult to overclock your RAM by manually making settings on CPU, then this is the RAM you should look for as the HyperX Fury automatically overclocks when needed.

Conclusion:

If you are in search of RAM in market and considering following factors such as price and performance, then Kingston HyperX Fury is the RAM you should look forward for. Well, the testing itself claims that Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1866MHz which i received, offers great performance with the auto overclocking feature. The PnP feature ensures that you don’t need to worry about timing and speed, the HyperX fury itself does the work. However, as mentioned before it is a gaming RAM and not a regular RAM, so you need a motherboard that has RAM support of 1866MHz RAM else your result will be limited. The Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 RAM kit is available at a price of Rs. 5,400.
