## Verdict

An easy 6000 MT/s kit with both EXPO and XMP profiles that both hands-on reviewers found fast and trouble free, held back from the very top by CL36 timings that trail the CL30 kits around it.

## 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.

Checked by hand on 2026-09-27 against 7 sources.

## For

- 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

## Against

- 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

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the Kingston Fury Beast RGB KF560C36BBEAK2-32 work on both AMD and Intel?

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.

### Which BIOS profile should I choose?

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.

### How tall are the modules, and will they clear my CPU cooler?

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.

### Can I add a second kit later to get 64GB?

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.

### Is the KF560C36BBE2AK2-32 the same kit?

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.

## What this tier means

- A: Excellent. Strongly recommended, beaten only by the very best.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
