Hi,
I'm looking at Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x4GB) DDR3 1600. However, I see Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb 2x4 etc... Is there any significant difference? Is one better than the other? Both are the same price give or take a few dollars.

Thank you

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. The HyperX Fury memory is our newest line of HyperX memory and it is plug and play, meaning it will run at it's advertised speed or the highest the system supports when plugged in without making changes in BIOS. Without the exact part numbers I cannot really say if there are any differences between the two sets of memory. Generally speaking, the differences between the different lines of HyperX memory are the way it looks and the range of speeds/capacity that it is available. If the memory you are looking at has the same capacity, speed and timing settings there would be essentially no difference in performance. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada...

So you are saying if someone has a Z97 Hero and 4970K CPU and they buy your HyperX Fury's in 1866 - that all it takes is to plug them in the mobo and they will run at 1866? How about an Asus Z97-WS, or the Rock's Z97 Killer. Strange because have tried this with these mobo's and in every case you had to go into the BIOS and enable XMP or set them up manually. Have also seen these in 1600 on AMD rigs and they simply boot to the mobos default (generally 1333).....Is there a new line of Hyper X Fury that is truly plug and play by freq...I ask as I've never seen any DRAM, that can automatically (plug and play) go to freq over 1600.

Per your example, our 1866MHz HyperX Fury memory should be able to run at 1866MHz when plugged into a Z97 motherboard with an i7-4970K CPU. Our HyperX Fury memory (released late March 2014) is compatible with H67, H97, P67, Z68, Z77, Z87, Z97 and H61 Intel chipsets; as well as A75, A87, A88, A89, A78 and E35 AMD chipsets. The PnP feature offers a range of speed and timing options to support a wide variety of processors and chipsets, the maximum speed the memory runs at is determined by the system BIOS. PnP cannot increase the system memory speed faster than what is allowed by the manufacturer's BIOS. If the memory does not automatically clock to the advertised speed the BIOS may need to be updated with the most current JEDEC compliant specifications. Also, there's the possibility of an issue with the memory that was received or it's another line of HyperX memory that does not include the PnP feature. HyperX Fury memory modules do not have XMP profiles and instead use PnP JEDEC timing parameters.

And do you have a list of motherboards that support this? Thus far all I've found is a disclaimer that states it only works in PnP mobos, yet most all support other PnP yet haven't seen DRAM mentioned, this would be nice for builders, but still leave many hanging as no explanations are provided for as to what CPUs can natively run say 1866. i.e. many even under XMP can easily run 1866, but only w/ voltage adjustments, does this implementation make those allowances and take care of the increases or are users left hanging thinking the max their system can run is 1333 or 1600...and the reverse is true, does this implementation actually kick up to 1866 and set the voltages higher than needed in order to run at 1866

Note:
PnP implementation is only possible in configurations that
include a BIOS that supports the PnP function. Your maximum
speed will be determined by your BIOS

There are a multitude of motherboard models that should work properly with the HyperX Fury memory, as stated motherboards with H67, H97, P67, Z68, Z77, Z87, Z97 and H61 Intel chipsets; as well as A75, A87, A88, A89, A78 and E35 AMD chipsets are compatible. Our HyperX Fury 1866MHz memory modules run at 1.5V so there is no voltage adjustment needed. If you go to our website and look up a particular motherboard or system it will list the compatible parts, the HyperX Fury parts are listed in the search results for the systems that support them. http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/options/
Here is also the general datasheet for the HyperX Fury line: http://media.kingston.com/pdfs/HyperX_FURY_US.pdf
If you need further assistance with a particular part or system, please contact us directly so we can work with you.
