Key features (official)

• Capacity: 16GB (1×16GB)
• Type: DDR4, 288-pin DIMM (UDIMM, non-ECC)
• XMP Rated Speed: DDR4-3200 (3200MT/s)
• XMP Profile #1 Timings/Voltage: CL16-18-18 @ 1.35V (Intel® XMP 2.0)

Compatibility & selection

• Desktop DDR4: check that the motherboard has DDR4 DIMM slots (not DDR5) and supports 16GB modules.
• 3200MT/s in practice: motherboard/CPU support and activation required XMP in BIOS/UEFI. Otherwise it will run at JEDEC defaults.
• Single module: For dual-channel performance, prefer 2 identical modules (e.g. 2×16GB), if your system supports it.
• Clearance with heatsink: with large air coolers, take into account the height of the heatsink (~43mm) to avoid incompatibilities.

RGB control

RGB lighting can be synchronized via compatible motherboard solutions (depending on model) or via the app Kingston FURY CTRL, where supported.

FAQ

Is it for desktop (DIMM) or laptop (SO-DIMM)?;

The KF432C16BB12A/16 is a 288-pin DDR4 DIMM (UDIMM), meaning it is intended for desktop motherboards. It is not a laptop SO-DIMM.

How do I enable 3200MT/s? Is XMP required?;

To hit 3200MT/s with CL16, enable the Intel XMP 2.0 profile in the BIOS/UEFI (if your system supports it). Otherwise it will operate at JEDEC default speeds/timings set by the motherboard.

What timings and voltage does it have in XMP?;

XMP Profile #1 lists DDR4-3200 with 16-18-18 timings at 1.35V, according to Kingston's official spec sheet.

Will it fit with the CPU cooler? What is the height?;

The module has a heatsink and the official spec sheet states a height of approximately 43mm. If you are using bulky air cooling, check the motherboard/heatsink clearance before purchasing.

What about warranty/support?;

According to the Kingston Limited Warranty Statement, memory modules (including Kingston FURY) are covered by a Product Lifetime Warranty (defined as «product lifetime»). See Kingston’s official warranty page for details.
