At present, in the mainstream DIY PC building market, how to choose high-frequency DDR5 desktop memory?If you want to ask the author, just choose DDR5-6000MHz, first, the DDR5 memory** in this frequency segment is cheap enough, and second, whether it is for Intel platform or AMD platform, it can play a very good performance with DDR5-6000MHz. The performance is good, and the cost performance is high enough, which is suitable for most mainstream users.
This time, I would like to recommend a set of high-quality DDR5-6000MHz desktop memory, which is Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 memory 6000MT s 8GB*2. The black thermal vest, coupled with Kingston's strong brand strength, is the main selling point of this high-frequency DDR5 memory.
Exterior appreciation
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 Memory 6000MT S 8GB*2 adopts Kingston's usual transparent plastic packaging design, through which you can intuitively see the two memories inside.
The capacity of a single strip is 8GB, and the two memories are 8GB*2, with a total capacity of 16GB. With the new generation of PC platform, it can form a dual-memory dual-channel mode.
This memory set features the Beast's signature black cooling vest design. Note that this memory set does not come with lighting effects.
Will the memory with the cooling vest affect the installation of the CPU cooler?By measurement, the height of this memory is about 35cm。For the height of the cooling vest, this memory is not designed to be high, and users can rest assured that it can be used with more styles of CPU air-cooled coolers.
On one side of the heat dissipation vest, the Kingston Fury beast logo and DDR5 logo are designed.
On the other side of the heat dissipation vest, there is a product nameplate for this memory.
Measured on the machine
The author has set up a set of Core i9-14900K with Z690 chipset motherboard test platform, which will be tested on the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 memory 6000MT S 8GB*2.
After getting on the computer, look at the memory information first. The CPU-Z software identification shows that the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 memory 6000MT S 8GB*2 received by the author is made of SK hynix particles.
This DDR5 memory supports Intel XMP technology and comes with 3 XMP modes by default, including:
ddr5-6000mhz cl40
ddr5-5600mhz cl40
ddr5-4800mhz cl38
Which XMP mode you want to use, you can set it yourself in the motherboard BIOS.
Note that for AMD users, although this memory package does not support AMD EXPO technology, AMD users can actually use it, in this case, the memory frequency needs to be manually adjusted by the user.
Using the HWINFO software, it can be identified that the memory is made of SK hynix's A-die chips.
At present, many high-frequency DDR5 desktop memory uses SK hynix A-Die chips. Since SK hynix A-Die memory generally has excellent overclocking ability, for the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 memory 6000MT S 8GB*2, the author also overclocked it with a simple operation to easily overclock this DDR5-6800MHz CL40. Due to the performance limitations of the Z690 platform, the author did not challenge the higher memory overclocking frequency.
Test item 1: AIDA64 memory test.
After the memory is installed, the initial frequency of the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 memory 6000MT s 8GB*2 is DDR5-4800MHz. Manually enable the XMP mode in the motherboard BIOS, select the DDR5-6000MHz CL40 XMP mode, and the memory can run at the DDR5-6000MHz frequency.
DDR5-4800MHz CL40 performance.
With XMP mode enabled, DDR5-6000MHz CL40 performance.
Further overclocking of the memory, DDR5-6800MHz CL40 performance.
If XMP is enabled, the memory performance is significantly improved compared with the DDR5-4800MHz frequency when the DDR5-6000MHz frequency is enabled. Further overclocking this memory, the improvement in memory performance is still very significant.
Test item 2: Geekbench
Geekbench is a benchmark software that compares memory performance. From 4800MHz to 6000MHz, the Core i9-14900K processor is also able to perform better as the memory frequency increases. The performance gains from high-frequency memory should not be underestimated.
Test item 3: Shadow of the Tomb Raider
After reading the benchmark test, the author will verify the impact of high-frequency memory on the game. Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Shadow is a game that eats more CPU performance.
From 4800MHz to 6000MHz, and then to overclocking to 6800MHz, the average frame rate of Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Shadow has increased to a certain extent as the memory frequency increases. Therefore, for gamers, the role of high-frequency memory cannot be ignored.
Product Summary:
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 Memory 6000MT S 8GB*2 is a high-frequency DDR5 memory product for the mainstream market. The affordable choice of big brands, this is the author's evaluation of it. 8GB*2 capacity, enough for a large number of mainstream users.
At present, this DDR5 memory kit is on sale at Kingston's JD.com, and users who like it can go to buy it. Since this memory kit supports Intel-only XMP technology, it is more suitable for users of Intel platforms, which should be noted.
