Since Kingston has a long history of making memory for PC aficionados, it’s not surprising that they’ve invested heavily in the most recent DDR4 technology. The Predator and Fury lines, which are both geared toward PC enthusiasts, are among their current HyperX DDR4 choices.

Today, we’ll examine a kit from Kingston’s HyperX Fury line, specifically the HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB. The HyperX Fury DDR4 kits are available with 16 or 32 GB capacities, with speeds ranging from 2133 MHz to 2666 MHz.

We recently got the chance to review a DDR3 HyperX Fury kit, and we were very pleased with both its performance and capacity for overclocking. We’re eager to see if the HyperX Fury in DDR4 form can uphold that legacy, so let’s get going!

The unboxing and appearance of HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB 

The box is typical for Kingston and HyperX modules; it is made of black plastic and can accommodate strips of both SO-DIMM and DIMM memory. Being versatile enables you to save money for consumers who do not have to pay for the whims of designers by using a single type of box.

Stickers with a lot of important information have been affixed on the box’s outside. It is advised to read up on certification for a four-channel operation mode, the existence of a lifetime guarantee, and the fact that the module box is sealed at the factory and hasn’t been opened since. Everything that is stated on the package is accurate because our blog has frequently discussed the factory testing procedure.

Two modules in black radiators on a black textolite are contained in a black box. It’s kind of like a kid’s horror story, but I can promise you that there’s nothing to be concerned about. It is reassuring that the heatsinks are extremely low, which implies there won’t be a compatibility issue with massive tower coolers.

The aggressive appearance reveals the modules’ focus on gaming and will look nice in settings with glass walls. Since many gaming motherboards come in black and other colors, there is a good chance that HyperX Fure modules will blend naturally into the overall system design.

The module’s sticker informs the user of the following information: HyperX is a division of Kingston; the module’s standard voltage is 1.2 V; and the module is assembled in Taiwan.

It is possible to learn more about the chips that are mounted on the slats without having to remove thin metal radiators by using the AIDA64 program (screenshot below). These are SK Hynix chips. Since they were created in the fourth week of 2015, the modules are brand-new. Even though there are many work profiles, we are only interested in one of them: XMP at 1067 MHz (also known as 2133 MHz) with timings of 14-14-14-35.

Specification of HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB 

Despite being far less expensive, this RAM has the same excellent build quality and well-designed heat sink as the Kingston 16GB DDR3 HyperX furious RAM that we reviewed. This is a single 8GB chip that runs at 2133 MHz and provides significantly better performance than DDR3 in terms of price.

The main benefit of the new memory chip over DDR3 chips is that it operates at 1.2V as opposed to the 1.5V required by DDR3. For a single desktop user, it may not seem like a great deal, but for a business with many PCs, this will make a big difference in power efficiency.

When compared to DDR3 RAM, DDR4 does have a lower latency but a higher frequency that allows for more processing to be done in an equivalent amount of time.

Regarding quality, Kingston’s HyperX RAMs have established a solid reputation. This specific RAM chip is likewise of comparable grade. Overall, the construction is fairly solid, and the heat sink will offer sufficient cooling even if you intend to overclock it in the future. When you push the RAM into its motherboard slot, it emits a loud clicking sound that confirms the RAM’s positive build quality. The RAM feels wonderful in your hands.

Using eight 1G x 8-bit FBGA components per module, the HyperX HX421C14FB2/8 is a 1G x 64-bit (8GB) DDR4-2133 CL14 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) 1Rx8 memory module. Each module is compatible with Intel® XMP 2.0, or Extreme Memory Profiles.

Each module has undergone testing to ensure that it can operate at DDR4-2133 with a low latency timing of 14-14-14 at 1.2V.

Performance of HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB 

I anticipated an overall performance improvement over our previous-generation Core i3 PC with our new Core i3 6100 processor, entry-level MSI H110M motherboard, and this HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM, and it more than met our expectations. We noticed a performance improvement over our older system of at least 1.5x in everyday use and about 2x in gaming. Games loaded more rapidly, and every game we tried had at least 15% greater frame rate.

When we released this build, video editing and rendering were used to evaluate the most performance. Our editor was more than thrilled to output the videos in at least 30% less time. This instantly improves the effectiveness of our job and enables us to upload more videos to our YouTube account.

Final thoughts on HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB 

Users choose DDR4 with particular caution due to the market conditions and the system’s overall relatively expensive cost. Thanks to Yandex.Market, you can learn that the HyperX Fury DDR4-2133 is in second place in terms of availability among all 32 gigabyte sets with a frequency of 2133 MHz, but considering that the standard CAS is 14, rather than 15, like the most affordable kit, it is clear what to buy. Furthermore, there is always the chance to marginally boost performance through overclocking.

DDR4 is the best choice to pair with Intel’s Skylake architecture when designing a high-performance home or office PC that is future-proof. Due to its ready-to-overclock heatsink, this RAM is ideal for gamers, video/image editors, and enthusiasts. Although there are less expensive DDR4 RAM chips available without the fancy heatsink, they are only appropriate for light computing operations at home.

The Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 RAM, which costs Rs. 2600, is unquestionably a good deal for your high-performance PC.
