Overview
The Kingston FURY Beast RGB KF560C30BBEAK2-32 is a 32GB desktop DDR5 memory kit consisting of two 16GB modules. Designed for compatible desktop computers, it combines a 6000MT/s performance profile with CL30 timings, an integrated RGB lighting design, and support for AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 memory profiles.
The kit uses standard 288-pin DIMMs and black heat spreaders with RGB lighting. Its dual-module configuration is intended for compatible motherboards that support DDR5 memory and the required capacity.
Memory Performance and Profiles
The primary performance profile supports DDR5-6000 at timings of 30-36-36 and 1.4V. The modules also contain a standard JEDEC profile operating at DDR5-4800 with timings of 40-39-39 at 1.1V.
Additional profiles support DDR5-5600 at timings of 40-40-40 and 1.25V. AMD EXPO 1.1 and Intel XMP 3.0 provide configurable memory settings on compatible systems.
Compatibility and Installation
This kit is designed for desktop motherboards with 288-pin DDR5 DIMM slots. It is not intended for laptops using SO-DIMM memory or motherboards designed for DDR4.
The rated 6000MT/s speed may require enabling an appropriate memory profile in the system firmware. Actual operating speed depends on the processor's memory controller, motherboard specifications, firmware, and system configuration.
Before installation, check the motherboard manufacturer's memory compatibility list and confirm support for the combined 32GB capacity and the intended memory speed.
RGB Lighting and Physical Design
The FURY Beast RGB design incorporates RGB lighting and a black heat spreader. The module height is 42.23mm, including the heat spreader, which is relevant when checking clearance with a CPU air cooler or other nearby components.
Key Features
- 32GB total capacity: Two 16GB DDR5 memory modules supplied as a kit.
- DDR5-6000 performance: Supports 6000MT/s with CL30-36-36 timings at 1.4V through the primary performance profile.
- AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0: Provides configurable performance profiles for compatible platforms.
- RGB lighting: Adds integrated lighting to the black FURY Beast heat spreader design.
- 288-pin desktop DIMMs: Designed for compatible DDR5 desktop memory slots.
Applications
- Desktop PC memory upgrades on compatible DDR5 platforms.
- Gaming desktops configured for supported high-speed DDR5 memory.
- General-purpose and multitasking desktop systems requiring 32GB of memory.
- Custom PC builds incorporating RGB lighting components.
DC Supplies Product Note
The primary DDR5-6000 profile operates at 1.4V, whereas the default JEDEC profile operates at 1.1V. Check processor and motherboard compatibility before enabling EXPO or XMP, particularly when configuring memory performance settings beyond the platform's default operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit compatible with DDR4 motherboards?
No. This kit uses DDR5 memory and requires a compatible DDR5 desktop motherboard. DDR4 and DDR5 DIMMs are not interchangeable.
Does the kit include two memory modules?
Yes. The KF560C30BBEAK2-32 kit contains two 16GB modules, providing 32GB of total memory capacity.
Will the memory automatically operate at 6000MT/s?
Not necessarily. The default JEDEC profile is DDR5-4800. Operating at DDR5-6000 may require enabling the appropriate EXPO or XMP profile, along with compatible processor and motherboard support.
Does this memory support AMD EXPO and Intel XMP?
Yes. Kingston specifies AMD EXPO 1.1 and Intel XMP 3.0 support. The usable profile depends on the system platform and firmware.
What clearance should I check before installation?
The modules are 42.23mm tall, including their heat spreaders. Check CPU cooler clearance and the motherboard layout to ensure that the installed memory will not interfere with nearby components.
