Now here’s the thing, not everyone afford to have more RAM in their system, due to the price and also fluctuation around the market, as we can see with the trend of memory chips prices can go increasing based on demand and supply. So the non-binary RAM are out to address to some who needed some amount of memory that is right for certain situations while still be able to enjoy high speed memory channels that caters to today’s demanding app and games needs. The Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Non Binary RAM also targets mass enthusiast who are looking into building new or upgrade their existing PC which is future proof even if Intel or AMD releases their next generation of Processors to pair with.
Unboxing & Features
The packaging of the RAM kit exudes a slightly more premium feel compared to the FURY Beast DDR5 packaging. It is designed to highlight the features and specifications, immediately signaling its status as a high-end RAM kit upon first glance. Packaged in a sleek, slim box, it presents itself as a sophisticated option.
Available in configurations ranging from a pair of 16GB, 24GB, or 32GB of RAM, the kit’s packaging emphasizes its versatility and potential for high-performance computing tasks. Notably, the RGB lighting is situated on the top of the RAM modules, adding a visually striking element to the overall design.
While the sides of the heat spreader body lack RGB lights, they are adorned with the Kingston FURY logo and feature a metallic-like design, contributing to the kit’s aesthetic appeal and hinting at its quality craftsmanship.
Below is the summary features of the RAM as well
- Intel® XMP 3.0 Certified (For AMD and Intel System)
- Plug N Play at 4800MT/s and above up to 7200MT/s via XMP and Manual Mode
- RGB Compatibility with most Motherboard Manufacturers
- Patented Kingston FURY Infrared Sync Technology
- Compatible with Kingston CRTL software for RGB and status control
What is a non-binary memory
Over time, the demand for memory capacity in computer systems has steadily risen, prompting DRAM chip manufacturers to increase chip density. Traditionally, this increase occurred in a binary fashion, with density doubling from one generation to the next (e.g., 4Gbit to 8Gbit, 8Gbit to 16Gbit). However, the introduction of DDR5 brings about an intermediary density known as 24Gbit, often referred to as “non-binary” memory.
The term “non-binary” originates from the departure from the typical doubling of density. Instead of following the binary progression, DDR5 introduces an intermediate density level to address the evolving needs of computer systems.
To achieve higher density, DRAM semiconductor manufacturers must continually enhance chip design and shrink the silicon wafer process, typically measured in nanometers (nm). This shrinking process allows for the inclusion of more memory cells within the same chip footprint as the previous generation, thereby increasing overall density while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.

Performance & Benchmarks
Initially, we found that tuning the RAM kit speeds from 4800MT to 7200MT was a straightforward process with our test ASRock motherboard. Simply selecting the profile in the BIOS or switching to XMP allowed for seamless booting. However, for those who prefer manual tweaking, the option is available, as this RAM kit is overclockable and can handle such adjustments well. Of course, the success of these tweaks depends on the compatibility of your hardware setup.
After conducting several tests, we obtained benchmark results via AIDA64. These tests revealed that the latency remained reasonable, with impressive read and write speeds even when pushed up to 7200MT/s while maintaining a voltage of 1.35V. This indicates the stability and reliability of the RAM kit under mentioned clock conditions.
Software Features
The RGB lights may be controlled in two ways: either with FURY CTRL, which you can download from Kingston’s website, or with motherboard software that is compatible with the brands you are currently using. You will have greater access to features like RGB modes, speed, brightness, sync, and voltage in addition to RAM data like speed and latency. To the best of my knowledge, RAM manufacturers seldom provide their own software; instead, they often rely on motherboard manufacturers to do it. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic and lovely addition.

Verdict & Conclusion
Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB (48GB kit) is really for those who is seeking for both more memory for their use and speed and there’s a bonus too, a faster RAM access speed should you choose the 7200MT/s version. Not everyone would afford a full 64GB kit (which is still pricey at this moment of this writing) and if you need less than that, this is still a viable choice when it comes to application that is hungry for memory, or even games for that matter which still leaves some extra for any background processes.
Price wise, the 48GB kit is priced around RM1600 and for more information, CLICK here to find out.
