Overview
- The Kingston FURY Beast KF560C36BBE2-16 is a premium DDR5 memory module delivering 6000MT/s speeds with aggressive CL36 latency, optimised for systems that demand high bandwidth and responsive performance. Featuring full support for AMD EXPO v1.1 and Intel XMP 3.0, it enables one-click overclocking profiles that automatically configure optimal timings and voltages for your platform.
This 16GB UDIMM is engineered for gaming, content creation, and professional workloads where memory speed matters. The on-die ECC provides data integrity, whilst the compact 34.9mm heatsink ensures compatibility with most CPU coolers. Kingston's gold contact fingers and rigorous testing guarantee reliable operation across compatible systems.
SPD defaults to JEDEC DDR5-4800 at standard latencies for compatibility, with tested stability at the aggressive 6000MT/s profile. Operating temperature range of 0 to +85°C and comprehensive warranty support make it a trusted choice for builders and businesses upgrading to modern platforms.

FAQs
Is this memory compatible with my system?
The Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 is compatible with DDR5-capable platforms including AMD Ryzen 7000-series and Intel 12th-gen (Z790) and newer. For optimal performance, verify your motherboard supports AMD EXPO v1.1 or Intel XMP 3.0. Check your system specifications or motherboard manual for DDR5 compatibility.
What is the difference between the 6000MT/s rated speed and JEDEC SPD?
The 6000MT/s profile (CL36 at 1.35V) is an optimised profile enabled via AMD EXPO or Intel XMP in BIOS. The JEDEC SPD defaults to DDR5-4800 (CL40 at 1.1V) for universal compatibility. Use XMP/EXPO for maximum performance on compatible boards.
Can I use a single 16GB module or do I need two?
A single 16GB module works in single-channel mode. For dual-channel performance (recommended for gaming and demanding applications), use two matching modules. Check your motherboard's supported configurations in its manual.
Does this memory support overclocking?
Yes. The module is rated for 6000MT/s with CL36 latency and can be further overclocked on compatible systems using manual BIOS tuning. However, stability depends on your specific hardware and cooling setup.
What is On-Die ECC and do I need it?
On-Die ECC (Error-Correcting Code) detects and corrects single-bit memory errors automatically, improving data integrity. It's beneficial for content creation, professional workloads, and long-running systems, though most gaming systems don't require it.
What is the warranty coverage?
Kingston FURY Beast memory includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Hyetech Australia provides support for warranty claims.
How does this compare to DDR4 memory?
DDR5 offers significantly higher bandwidth (up to 76.8 GB/s vs DDR4's 51.2 GB/s) and lower power consumption. Performance gains depend on workload, but gaming and content creation benefit most. DDR5 requires a compatible motherboard and CPU.
