Kingston FURY Renegade White RGB (DDR5-7600 CL38) Review – Pushing To The Limit

Unboxing & Walkaround

The package that comes with the Kingston FURY Renegade White RGB is a simple box packing the two modules in a plastic case, though for this unit we received, there’s no stickers included. Might be a material saving measure, as we’ve found out the user instructions is printed right within the box (below).

So, we suppose you’ll have to irreversibly destroy the packaging to get a clear look at the instructions, but if you’re generally familiar with RAM installations, this shouldn’t bother you too much.

As usual, the RAM modules come with relatively large heatsinks, and since this is the RGB model, they also come with a full-length RGB strip on top. As this kit is overclocked to 7600MT/s at 1.45V at its fastest XMP profile, any bit of extra cooling surface is definitely needed in this case to keep it from overheating.

Overclocking

The first try was to put it at its fastest XMP setting (DDR5-7600 CL38 @ 1.45V) and give it a quick test – however, we already see memory errors due to modules overheating when there is no active cooling on the modules. So, we decided to try again, this time with fans blowing directly to the RAM kits to eliminate the temperature factor from the module’s overclocking capabilities.

Retrying the same setting with active cooling and we get a green light after 30 minutes of stress testing, with the left module reaching 65°C, while the right module (which is more exposed to cool air) stays at 62.5°C with moderate airflow from two case fans. That said, we imagine the modules can still get pretty toasty in a closed case, so be sure to monitor temperatures and check stability if you intend to run the modules at this XMP setting.

With the first run complete, the only successful overclock we managed to get out of this set of modules is DDR5-8000 CL38 @ 1.48V with lots of airflow thrown at it to keep it stable throughout the test. Any higher clock speeds or tighter timings simply causes crashes or outright POST failures, so this is the most we could get out of this kit – and besides, you’re likely better off with CUDIMM kits if you’re going beyond 8000MT/s speeds.

Here are the results comparison between the stock XMP setting and the overclocked profile, and there’s improvements in both memory bandwidth and latency. Plenty fast, all things considered.

Verdict

The Kingston FURY Renegade White RGB (DDR5-7600 CL38) is currently priced at RM1,169 – certainly not cheap given its capabilities, and you’ll need some beefy cooling to keep it from overheating and causing memory errors (just like any module that come with high voltages). While CUDIMMs exist, they’re only supported on Intel Core Ultra chips for now, so if you’re on older platforms like Intel’s 13th/14th Gen, this is still among the fastest memory kits you can get for the said chips.

Special thanks to Kingston Technology for providing the FURY Renegade White RGB (DDR5-7600 CL38) memory kit for this review.
