HyperX FURY DDR4 RAM gets new colors, up to 2666MHz frequency, and AMD Ryzen support
When you are building a PC, you should never purchase low-quality RAM from a little-known vendor. Bad memory can lead to huge headaches, such as program crashes and blue screens of death on Windows. Troubleshooting corrupt sticks can be quite the tedious affair -- it is not worth the cost savings.
There are many quality memory-makers nowadays, such as G.SKILL and Kingston. Regarding the latter, the company offers an enthusiast gaming brand, called HyperX. Today, the company announces a refresh of its popular value-focused FURY RAM. These sticks come in frequencies up to 2666MHz, with your choice of three heat spreader colors -- red, white, and black. Best of all, they are tested to work with AMD Ryzen CPUs and the AM4 platform plus Intel 200 processors and X99 chipsets.
"HyperX Fury DDR4 memory performance complements Intel's 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10-core processors for faster video editing, 3D rendering, gaming, and AI processing. The modules include a stylish, low-profile design that complements the look and design of the latest motherboards from Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, MSI, and many more. DDR4 memory is 100 percent tested and optimized for compatibility and easy overclocking," says HyperX.
The company further says, "FURY DDR4 memory is optimized to be compatible with Intel 200 series processors and X99 chipsets. Additionally, FURY DDR4 memory has been compatibility tested with AMD’s new Ryzen processors, in the HyperX Labs and by our motherboard partners."
