Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Overall the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3-1866-C10 is a good DDR3 memory kit based on AFR chips from SK Hynix. In a nutshell it is a reasonably priced 16GB dual-channel kit. Since this is a mid-range memory kit you should not expect miraculously high frequencies. The HyperX Fury modules are much more about modding then they are about overclocking, since you can get those modules with differently colored heatspreaders. What's also great is that these sticks feature a black PCB, so the modules definitely blend in nicely on well designed motherboards. |
- Reasonably priced
- Available with differently colored heatspreaders - Compatibility with big coolers |

| Scaling | + | - | |
| With CL9 as well as CL10 and even CL11 we see almost linear scaling even with 1.85V, which is basically the best you can get. Having a closer look at CL12 and CL13 we see there is a negative progression in scaling, the higher the voltage is. This means, that we're closing in on the frequency limits of these chips. We would have expected scaling to be worse on these AFR based sticks but it appears there is some binning going on behind the scenes before these chips make it onto the PCBs. | - Scaling CL9 - Scaling CL10 - Scaling CL11 | - Scaling CL12 - Scaling CL13 | |
| Overclocking | + | - | |
| Using the Maximus VII Formula and our specific memory testing CPU, that has quite a good IMC, we were able to drive these modules at 2'599.4 MHz (CL12-13-13-35). As we already mentioned for a reasonably priced 16GB kit, which is based on AFR chips this is a decent result. | |||
| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| Checking Geizhals.at for prices we find the Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB, DDR3-1866, CL10-11-10-35 kit listed for 135 Euro. Therefore this kit is well priced and in combination with the differently colored heatsinks not only assemblers will find it interesting but they will also appeal to modders. |
