Kingston Technology FURY 16GB 4800MT/s DDR5 CL38 SODIMM (Kit of 2) Impact

Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 16GB (2 x 8GB) SO-DIMM brings DDR5 performance to laptops and small-form-factor systems. This Intel® XMP 3.0 certified kit operates at a base speed of 4800MT/s with CAS latency 38, supports Plug N Play automatic overclocking on enabled modules and can reach higher frequencies by selecting an XMP 3.0 profile in BIOS. The 262-pin SO-DIMM modules draw low power (1.1 V) and include on-die ECC for improved stability during high-speed operation.

Advantages

The memory kit delivers a 50% performance uplift over DDR4 starting at 4800MT/s, improving multitasking, gaming and rendering workloads. Plug N Play functionality provides automatic overclocking to the highest listed speed without BIOS changes on supported modules, while Intel® XMP 3.0 certification enables manual profile selection for maximum published frequencies. Low power consumption helps maintain cooler, more efficient operation, and on-die ECC helps preserve data integrity at overclocked settings.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Upgrading laptop memory for improved multitasking and responsiveness
• Small-form-factor PCs and mini PCs that use 262-pin SO-DIMM modules
• Gaming and content creation on portable systems
• Systems where low power draw and thermal efficiency are important

How to use

Power down the laptop or small-form-factor PC and disconnect power. Open the access panel according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge, remove the existing SO-DIMM module(s) if necessary, and align the notch of the Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 module with the slot. Firmly press the module into the SO-DIMM slot until the retaining clips engage. Reassemble the device, reconnect power and boot. For Plug N Play modules, the memory may automatically run at the highest supported speed. To enable XMP 3.0 profiles or to select a specific frequency, enter BIOS/UEFI and choose the desired XMP profile.

Recommendations

Install modules in matched pairs for dual-channel operation, verify system compatibility with DDR5 SO-DIMM 262-pin form factor, and update BIOS/UEFI to the latest version for optimal XMP 3.0 support and stability.
