Kingston Intros FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition DDR5 Memory
Kingston today formally launched the FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition DDR5 memory kits. These were shown at the company's Computex 2024 booth earlier this month. The module's design involves a two-tone die-cast metal shroud over the aluminium heat-spreaders, which are crowned by silicone diffusers for the RGB LEDs. The modules have a 19-preset lighting controller. You control the lighting using the first-party FURY CTRL software. Kingston says that the design of these modules are inspired by race cars.
The Kingston FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition is available in only one density—48 GB (2x 24 GB kit), and in only one speed variant, DDR5-8000, with timings of CL36-48-48, and DRAM voltage of 1.45 V. The module also includes profiles for DDR5-7200 and DDR5-6400, with tighter timings. The modules pack an Intel XMP 3.0 SPD profile that enables the advertised speeds on Intel platforms. Kingston has extensively tested the modules on the latest Intel platforms, such as the 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" for compatibility with the advertised XMP speeds. The company didn't reveal pricing.

If by this they mean a riced-out with AutoZone stick-on pseudo-carbon parts 15 year old Camry then sure, why not.
Honestly, this whole trend of over-designing memory modules and blinging them out with RGB is so bizarre to me. They always felt like a component that is completely irrelevant in terms of looks, just make it inconspicuous and neutral. But, I guess, this is just a way to justify a price premium and artificially segment the product stack.
