KINGSTON Memory KF436C17BB2A/8 FURY Beast RGB Black XMP, 3600MT/s, 8GB

Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR4 8GB 3600MT/s (KF436C17BB2A/8)

The Kingston FURY Beast RGB is desktop RAM that combines high-frequency DDR4 and customizable RGB lighting. The version KF436C17BB2A/8 it is single DIMM 8GB and in XMP Profile #1 works in DDR4‑3600 with timings CL17‑21‑21 in 1.35V.

What do you gain in practice?

With fast DDR4 memory like FURY Beast RGB, your system will respond more quickly to multitasking and RAM-intensive applications (e.g. gaming, multi-tabbed browsing, content creation). If you currently only have 8GB, adding a second DIMM of the same type (to make it 2x8GB) is often one of the most balanced upgrades for DDR4 computers.

Selection advice: Check that your motherboard supports DDR4 (UDIMM) and that there is space around the socket/heatsink, as heatsink memory is taller than regular DIMMs.

Ideal for

• Desktop upgrade for gaming/content creation with DDR4 platform.
• Systems that want easy performance tuning via Intel XMP 2.0.
• Builds with an emphasis on appearance thanks to the RGB lighting of the FURY Beast series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is it compatible with laptops?;

No. This is a DDR4 288-pin UDIMM (desktop). For laptops, DDR4 SO-DIMM is typically required.

What does 3600MT/s and CL17 mean?;

3600MT/s is the data transfer rate of DDR4. CL17 is the CAS latency (in cycles). In the official XMP Profile #1 the memory has timings of 17‑21‑21 at 1.35V.

Does XMP need to be enabled to reach 3600MT/s?;

Usually yes. The memory includes Intel XMP 2.0 profiles. If XMP is not enabled in the BIOS/UEFI, it may run at JEDEC factory settings (e.g. DDR4‑2400).

Can I combine it with other memory?;

You can, but for better compatibility/stability, prefer the same capacity/speed/timings and, ideally, the same series/part number. In a different set, the system may drop to a lower frequency.

How many DIMMs does this product have?;

It is a single DIMM (1x8GB).
