HyperX HX318C10FRK2/8 FURY 8 GB Memory Module Kit – Red

The HyperX Fury 8‑gigabyte memory module kit in striking red is engineered for high‑performance computing environments, from gaming rigs to professional workstations. Each kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 DIMM modules, delivering a total of 8 GB of volatile memory that operates at an impressive 1866 MHz bus clock rate.

Key Technical Specifications

• Memory Type: DDR3, PC‑15000 standard
• Module Configuration: 512 M × 64 bits per module (2 × 4 GB)
• Bus Clock Rate: 1866 MHz
• CAS Latency: CL10, ensuring rapid data access
• Voltage: 1.5 V, a low‑power profile that reduces heat output
• Form Factor: 240‑pin DIMM (DIMM package)
• Memory Bus Width: 64 bits per module, providing ample bandwidth for multitasking and data‑intensive applications
• Lead Plating: Gold, enhancing electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Heat Spreader: Red heat spreader with a thickness of 7.08 mm, designed to dissipate thermal energy efficiently while maintaining a compact profile (height: 32.8 mm)
• Dimensions: Width: 133.3 mm, Height: 32.8 mm, Depth: 7.08 mm
• Buffering: Unregistered (unbuffered), suitable for standard desktop and server configurations that do not require ECC protection
• Ecc: Non‑ECC, ideal for consumer PCs and most workstation setups where error correction is not mandatory

Performance Highlights

The HyperX Fury kit’s 1866 MHz clock speed places it in the upper tier of DDR3 memory modules, enabling faster data transfer rates compared to standard 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz kits. Coupled with a low CAS latency of 10 cycles, this module delivers quick response times for both single‑threaded and multi‑threaded workloads.

In real‑world scenarios, the kit excels in:

• Gaming: Higher frame rates and smoother gameplay due to increased memory bandwidth.
• Content Creation: Faster rendering times for video editing, 3D modeling, and graphic design applications.
• Multitasking: Seamless operation of multiple heavy applications simultaneously, thanks to ample capacity and rapid access.
• Virtualization: Supports running several virtual machines with minimal memory bottlenecks.

Compatibility & System Requirements

The HyperX Fury kit is designed for PC and server platforms that support DDR3 DIMM modules. It is fully compatible with:

• Operating Systems: Windows (all modern editions), Linux distributions, and macOS on Intel‑based machines.
• Motherboards: Any motherboard featuring DDR3 DIMM slots that support 1866 MHz memory. The kit will automatically down‑clock to match the maximum supported speed of the system if a lower frequency is required.
• CPU Compatibility: Works with processors that provide DDR3 memory controller support, including Intel Core i5/i7/i9 series (Sandy Bridge and newer) and AMD Athlon/Phenom II series.

Installation & Setup

Installing the HyperX Fury kit is straightforward:

1. Power off the system and disconnect all cables.
2. Locate the DDR3 DIMM slots on your motherboard.
3. Insert each 4 GB module into an available slot, aligning the notch with the key in the socket. Apply even pressure until the latches click into place.
4. Reconnect power and boot the system.
5. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify that both modules are recognized at 1866 MHz and CL10. Adjust memory settings if necessary for optimal stability.

Reliability & Build Quality

The HyperX Fury series is renowned for its robust construction:

• Gold‑plated contacts reduce electrical resistance and improve signal integrity.
• Red heat spreader not only provides a distinctive aesthetic but also enhances thermal conductivity, keeping the modules cool under load.
• Unbuffered design eliminates additional latency introduced by buffer chips, ensuring direct communication with the memory controller.
