Kingston Fury Beast 16GB 5200MHz CL36 DDR5 RAM

The Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5-5200 (KF552C36BBE-16) is a single-module desktop memory kit engineered for AMD Ryzen 7000-series platforms and Intel 12th/13th/14th-generation systems that demand higher bandwidth from the DDR5 standard. Built on a 1Rx8 topology using eight 2Gx8-bit FBGA components, this 288-pin UDIMM packs 16GB of capacity into a black PCB that keeps thermals manageable without the bulk of an RGB heatspreader. At its rated XMP/EXPO profile the module runs at DDR5-5200 with a primary latency of CL36 and full timing sequence of 36-40-40 at 1.25V, meaningfully tighter than entry-level DDR5. For boards whose BIOS has not yet been updated to load performance profiles, the SPD is pre-programmed to JEDEC-standard DDR5-4800 at 40-39-39 and 1.1V, so the stick will boot reliably out of the box and allow profile activation at any time thereafter. Dual-profile support is a key differentiator: the module carries both AMD EXPO v1.0 and Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 3.0 certifications. That means a single purchase covers AM5 builds and LGA1700/LGA1851 platforms alike, without needing separate SKUs. Kingston states the module has been qualified by leading motherboard manufacturers, reducing the risk of compatibility issues on certified boards. The kit ships as a single 16GB stick (16GBx1), making it a straightforward capacity upgrade or a starting point for a dual-channel build by adding a second matched module later.
