Go big with 128 Gigabytes of DDR5 RAM for its lowest-ever price
Never worry about open tabs ever again
The amount of RAM you need for your system creeps up incrementally over time as technology evolves and software applications become more complicated and resource-heavy, with the comfortable standard now at around 16GB for most gaming and application needs. Today's deal takes your RAM levels to excess with a whopping 128GB (4 x 32GB), enough to never worry about the number of open browser tabs ever again.
To grab this offer, head to Amazon where you can find today's deal on 128GBs of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-5600 RAM for $374. The RAM comes in 4 x 32GB paired sticks of RAM with a CAS latency of 40 with timings of 40-40-40 at 1.25V. The Fury Beast RAM kit is also RGB, supporting XMP 3.0 profiles.
We haven't reviewed this precise kit, but we have checked out the 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RAM kit in our review and found the RAM to be of a compact design with numerous XMP 3.0 profiles for multiple easy overclock settings in the BIOS. However, we also thought the timing was a little loose and the overall price of the RAM was too expensive. Overall we awarded 3.5 stars, but with these discounts, the RAM negates some of our concerns.
Kingston Fury Beast RGB 128GB DDR5-5600: now $374 at Amazon (was $493)
The Kingston Fury Beast RGB RAM kit comes in 4 x 32GB paired sticks of RAM with a CAS latency of 40 with timings of 40-40-40 at 1.25V. The Kit is DDR5 with 5600MHz speeds and XMP 3.0 profiles for easy overclocking.
With this amount of RAM, you are going overkill for a small gaming machine and would never realistically require so much. 128GB is more useful for PCs with very application-heavy memory requirements, such as animation or video rendering.

emmjay28 Sweet deal, but come on Toms, do your homework. A low rating and jab at Kingston's CL40 timings when it's the ONLY 128GB kit of 4 on the market at 5600MT/s that is both Intel XMP certified and listed on the QVLs of 125 motherboards? Note the absence of Corsair, Gskill, and Team 128GB+ kits at that speed and those timings.Reply

warptek Isn't it strange that these companies put the highest priced stuff on sale while most people are out there struggling. How about putting a nice 32GB kit on sale, or a sweet deal on 48GB? This is overkill for like 99% of us. Ridiculous.Reply -

yankees992012 I would say this a very bad deal. I find it funny that it's advertised on a gaming forum. The ram is class 40, which is bad for gaming, lower timings of 5600 is slow. For gaming one would want at least above 6000. The costs isn't justified for poor product.Reply
I would not recommend this type of memory ram. -

High margin SKUs have more margin to slash without being unprofitable. Low margin SKUs have less margin, so can only tolerate small price cuts without being a net loss.warptek said:Isn't it strange that these companies put the highest priced stuff on sale while most people are out there struggling.

This isn't a gaming forum. It is a hardware forum, where many of us just happen to be gamers. -

If you think 128GB (4x 32GB 2R DIMMs) 5600 CL40 overclocked on Intel/AMD DDR5 boards is bad, you have no idea what you're talking about. Intel and AMD both have clock-down penalties on 2R DIMMs and configuring in 2DPC. Until Kingston launches their 64GB DIMMs, there won't be any way to get around this performance bottleneck. Not a lot of users will need that much RAM, certainly not gamers, but those that do can at least squeeze out more performance by overclocking with this kit.yankees992012 said:I would say this a very bad deal.
