A Closer Look

The sticks cut a low rectangular profile that should be great for cooler clearance.


The HyperX Fury sticks use a black aluminium heat spreader with stamped accents.


"HyperX" is featured along the top of each stick, along with "Fury" on one side. The specifications on the HyperX Fury are a nice balance for Ryzen or Intel systems, featuring a 3600 MHz XMP profile at 18-22-22-39 and 1.35 V.


"HyperX" has been printed across the top-right side of the gray aluminium insert, with the Kingston logo on the heat spreader just below it.


The HyperX Fury sticks are single-sided despite the 16 GB per stick specification, and use Micron E-die 2 GB ICs on a PCB with 8 layers for added stability.


I like to weigh a stick from each kit I get as the difference in mass can be pretty drastic between kits. Mass is not the best indicator of cooling efficiency because material can matter, and of course, heat dissipation is reliant on surface area, not volume or mass. That said, it is still interesting to compare.

The HyperX Fury comes in at 34.00 g on my scale, which is on the high end. The aluminium heat spreader is thicker than most, and the gray aluminium insert adds a fair bit of mass. For height, the HyperX Fury comes in at almost 35.51 mm with my calipers, which is well below the average of 45–50 mm. This kit will be great for systems where cooler clearance is a concern.
