About this product

This page covers the Kingston FURY Beast RGB KF560C36BBEAK2-32, a 32GB DDR5 desktop memory kit made of two 16GB sticks with black heat spreaders and RGB lighting. It boots at DDR5-4800 and reaches its rated 6000 MT/s at 36-38-38 and 1.35V once you turn on its memory profile in the BIOS.

It carries both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, each with a second DDR5-5600 fallback, so it suits an AMD Ryzen or an Intel DDR5 build. Its CL36 timings are looser than the CL30 kits sold at the same speed. Kingston's parts search now files this part number under discontinued models, and its current black RGB EXPO kit at this speed, KF560C36BBE2AK2-32, runs 36-44-44 timings instead.

Two outlets tested this exact part number, Club386 and Digital Citizen, both on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X system. Kingston sells other kits under the same name, including the Intel XMP only KF560C40BBAK2-32 at CL40, so check the part number before you buy.

Pros & cons

✓ Carries both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, which Club386 found few kits did at launch
✓ Performed well in daily use, benchmarks and games in Digital Citizen's test
✓ Club386 ran it at DDR5-6400, or at 6000 with CL30 timings, without raising its 1.35V
✓ Even RGB lighting that syncs with the four major motherboard lighting systems
✓ Limited lifetime warranty

✗ CL36 timings are looser than the CL30 kits rivals sell at the same speed
✗ Overclocking brought no noticeable performance gain in Club386's test
✗ Runs at only DDR5-4800 until you enable its profile in the BIOS
✗ At 42.23mm the sticks stand around 7mm taller than Kingston's non-RGB Fury Beast modules

Since then, DDR5 kits have improved, so now we can present a faster version of the Fury Beast which also includes RGB illumination. The main focus will be, of course, on the higher speed as this is what most users expect the most. However, we can’t miss the new heatsink design and mentioned RGB illumination which with the help of infrared synchronization, works better than on competitive memory ki

Frequently asked questions

It ranks #3 of 15 on our RAM tier list, in A tier. That placement draws on 2 independent outlets.

Yes. It carries AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles on the same modules. Both hands-on reviews ran it on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. Kingston adds that some motherboards or system configurations may not run its published speeds and timings.

The first one. Out of the box the kit runs at DDR5-4800. Digital Citizen found two EXPO and two XMP profiles in the UEFI and advises picking EXPO 1 or XMP 1 for 6000 MT/s, because the second profiles set the modules to DDR5-5600.

Kingston lists them at 42.23mm (1.66in) with the heat spreader. Club386 notes that is around 7mm taller than the non-RGB Fury Beast. If a large air cooler overhangs your memory slots, compare 42.23mm with the memory clearance its maker lists.

Possibly, but not reliably at full speed. Club386 notes you can double up to 64GB across four modules, but warns to check that your motherboard can run four sticks at this speed, adding that not many can. Buying 64GB as one two-stick kit avoids the question.

Not quite. It is Kingston's current black RGB kit at DDR5-6000 CL36 with EXPO and XMP 3.0, the same 1.35V and the same 42.23mm height. Its timings are 36-44-44 rather than 36-38-38, and its fallback profile is DDR5-5600 CL40. The reviews of KF560C36BBEAK2-32 do not cover it.
