How to read this page. Each section starts Simple, then goes to a Deep dive: stop wherever you have what you need. The small numbers are sources: click one to open the original document. Where the brand has not published a figure -- a price, a die supplier, an exact date -- this page says so rather than estimate it.
1.At a glance
SimpleStart here
FURY Beast DDR5 RGB is Kingston’s desktop DDR5 memory with RGB lighting. Kingston FURY, the company’s gaming division, announced it on 1 June (the release gives no year) as starting at 4800MT/s 1. Its current product page lists speeds up to 6800MT/s 2.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release says Kingston FURY “announced today the release of Kingston FURY™ Beast DDR5 RGB memory” and lists 4800, 5200, 5600 and 6000MT/s, CL38 and CL40, and 1.1V, 1.25V and 1.35V 1. The current page’s title lists 5200, 5600, 6000, 6400 and 6800MT/s, and its comparison table gives CL30 to CL40 and 1.25V, 1.35V and 1.4V 2. Kingston dates none of those changes 12.
2.Launch and lineup
SimpleStart here
Kingston describes the Beast family as having “the first DDR5 module used to hit 10,004MT/s” 1.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release opens with that record claim for the Beast family, then presents the RGB module as the “latest addition to the portfolio” with “enhanced RGB lighting effects with a new heat spreader design” 1. This guide reports the 10,004MT/s figure as Kingston’s claim and does not re-verify it. The release attributes its only quote to “Kingston” with no named person 1.
3.What’s inside the module
SimpleStart here
The module has an RGB heat spreader in black or white, and Kingston lists its height as 42.23mm 2.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The product page says the heat spreaders come in “black or white” and that the lighting is “customizable with Kingston FURY CTRL software and patented Infrared Sync Technology™” 2. Its comparison table gives a height of 42.23mm for Beast DDR5 RGB against 34.9mm for plain Beast DDR5, and a black PCB 2. The release credits the RGB model with Infrared Sync Technology and a new heat spreader design, and gives neither an LED count nor a zone count 1.
4.Full spec table

The pages do not pair each speed with a latency or voltage, so which grade runs at which setting is not stated 12.
5.Where it’s made
SimpleStart here
Neither Kingston source names a DRAM die supplier for FURY Beast DDR5 RGB 12.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release and the product page both describe the module without naming who makes the DRAM chips. The product page’s meta description mentions on-die ECC and dual 32-bit subchannels 2.
6.What it’s compatible with
SimpleStart here
The release names Intel XMP 3.0. The current page lists both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO 12.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release says the module is “Intel® XMP 3.0-Ready and Certified” and that “On modules 5200MT/s and faster, Intel XMP 3.0 profiles are enabled to lock in the speed, timings, and voltage” 1. It never mentions EXPO or AMD 1. The current page says “Intel® XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO™ options, two new DDR5 overclock specs”, and its comparison table reads Yes for Intel XMP and Yes for AMD EXPO Certified on the Beast DDR5 RGB column 2. Kingston does not say when the EXPO option was added, or which kits carry it 12.
7.Official pricing
SimpleStart here
Neither the release nor the current product page states a price 12.
Deep diveThe technical detail
Both sources describe specifications without a price or a recommended price 12.
9.Where this family sits in the lineup
SimpleStart here
FURY Beast DDR5 RGB sits beside plain FURY Beast DDR5 and the Renegade lines on Kingston’s six-column comparison table 2.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release calls the RGB module the “latest addition to the portfolio” of the Beast family 1. The current comparison table has six columns: Beast DDR5, Beast DDR5 RGB, Renegade DDR5, Renegade DDR5 RGB, Renegade Pro and Impact DDR5 2. None of the sources checked here names a successor 12.
10.Hidden in plain sight
SimpleStart here
Kingston’s release ties Plug N Play to the 4800MT/s grade, and today’s table says Plug N Play is “No” for this module, whose speed list starts at 5200 12.
Deep diveThe technical detail
The release says the module “starts at 4800MT/s”, lists “Plug N Play at 4800MT/s” as a feature, and describes Plug N Play as technology “that automatically overclocks without having to select a profile” 1. On the current page, the comparison table’s Plug N Play row reads No for both Beast DDR5 and Beast DDR5 RGB and Yes only for Impact DDR5, and the speed list for Beast DDR5 RGB begins at 5200MT/s 2. Both statements use the name Plug N Play, though the table gives no definition; together they suggest the 4800MT/s grade is no longer listed, but Kingston does not say that or when it happened 12.
