Key Features
- 32GB dual-module kit: Includes two 16GB DDR5 memory modules for a total capacity of 32GB.
- DDR5 5200MT/s performance: Offers a rated transfer speed of 5200MT/s, subject to system compatibility and configuration.
- CL40 latency: Supports tested timings of 40-40-40 at the rated XMP profile.
- Intel XMP 3.0 support: Provides supported memory profiles for compatible systems, simplifying configuration of rated performance settings.
- Black heat spreaders: Features a distinctive black design with heat spreaders measuring approximately 34.9mm in overall module height.
Performance and Compatibility
The Kingston FURY Beast KF552C40BBK2-32 is designed for desktop computers and motherboards that support DDR5 288-pin DIMM memory. Its rated 5200MT/s profile uses CL40-40-40 timings at 1.25V. The default JEDEC profile operates at DDR5-4800 with CL40-39-39 timings at 1.1V. A second XMP profile supports DDR5-4800 with CL38-38-38 timings at 1.1V.
Actual operating speed depends on the processor, motherboard, BIOS, and memory configuration. The rated XMP profile may require enabling the appropriate memory profile in the system BIOS. Check the motherboard manufacturer's compatibility documentation before purchasing.
Important: This product is a matched kit of two 16GB modules. For the manufacturer's kit warranty and return conditions, keep the modules together rather than treating them as separate retail products.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much memory is included in the KF552C40BBK2-32 kit?
The kit includes two 16GB DDR5 memory modules, providing a total capacity of 32GB.
2. What is the rated speed of this memory kit?
The rated XMP data transfer speed is 5200MT/s with CL40-40-40 timings at 1.25V. The actual speed depends on system compatibility and BIOS settings.
3. Does this memory support Intel XMP?
Yes. The kit supports Intel XMP 3.0 profiles. The rated profile can be selected on compatible motherboards that support the feature.
4. Is this memory compatible with DDR4 motherboards?
No. This is DDR5 memory and requires a compatible DDR5 DIMM slot. DDR4 and DDR5 desktop memory modules are not interchangeable.
5. Is the KF552C40BBK2-32 suitable for laptops?
No. This kit uses full-size 288-pin desktop DIMMs. Most laptops require smaller SO-DIMM modules.
6. Does the memory have ECC?
The modules are non-ECC and unbuffered at the system-memory level. Like other DDR5 memory, they incorporate on-die ECC for internal memory-chip error management; this is not the same as system-level ECC memory support.
Product Summary
The Kingston FURY Beast KF552C40BBK2-32 is a 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 desktop memory kit rated at 5200MT/s with CL40 timings. With Intel XMP 3.0 support, black heat spreaders, and a 288-pin DIMM design, it is an upgrade option for compatible desktop PCs. Confirm motherboard and processor compatibility before installation.
