Important Configuration Notes

  • Cascade Lake-X processors are required to use memory modules built with 16Gbit density DRAM. BIOS/firmware updates and/or specific board revisions may also be required. All other CPUs please contact the manufacturer.
  • QUAD CHANNEL memory bandwidth is only supported on Intel Skylake-X and Cascade Lake-X processors. MODULES MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED IN FOURS for Quad Channel mode.
  • DUAL CHANNEL memory bandwidth is supported on Intel Kabylake-X processors. MODULES MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED IN PAIRS for Dual Channel mode.
  • Per MSI, when using Kabylake-X based processors, Dual Channel operation is limited to sockets C1+D1, C2+D2. Refer to manual for proper installation.
  • From MSI manual:
  • "S/K LED : S/K LED indicates that the installed CPU supports either 4-channels or 2-channels memory architecture."
  • "Red = 8 DIMMs support (4-channels architecture CPU)"
  • "White = 4 DIMMs support (2-channels architecture CPU)"

Compatible Upgrades For Your System

Kingston FURY Renegade with Heatsink (SFYRSK/xxxG, SFYRDK/xxxG) will fit in most systems that can accommodate its size (~80mm x 23.67mm x 10.5mm). This includes a variety of motherboards, desktops, gaming PCs and the PlayStation 5. If you are uncertain whether it will fit, please review your system manufacturer’s support manual, or contact Kingston Technical Support.
Note: Some small-form-factor systems like Intel® NUC cannot physically accommodate the height of the heatsink. In these circumstances, we suggest FURY Renegade without heatsink (SFYRS/xxxG, SFYRD/xxxG).
