Conclusion

Fury Renegade RGB nonetheless will be an attractive fit for many mid-priced PCs.

Kingston brings memory back into the company fold through the release of Fury Renegade modules that are now bereft of the HyperX name. It's business as usual for the memory giant as these news sticks are eerily similar to what has come before.

Renegade RGB plays to Kingston's strengths by offering relative value in a crowded marketplace. £165 buys you a 32GB (2x16GB) pack of DDR4-3600 that's equally at home on Ryzen and Core platforms.

Lacking the top-end glitz and absolute frequencies of the latest G.Skill or Corsair modules, Fury Renegade RGB nonetheless will be an attractive fit for many mid-priced PCs. RGB illumination is okay, the modules aren't too tall, but we'd rather have the heatspreaders available in a range of colours to suit themed builds.

Not much more expensive than basic non-RGB modules of the same speed, the Kingston Fury Renegade RGB DDR4-3600 32GB pack is a safe buy from a well-established company

The Good
  
The Bad
Attractive pricing
Not too tall
Wide frequency range

Been using Kingston RAM for 20 years, never had a single issue with them… I think it is odd that they put lack of RGB as a bad thing for this.

I prefer without, as it is not like I am going to watch into the side of my system while it is running… and no one goes to LAN parties anyway?

Give me a good reason for RGB anything anyone?!? it is not like am going to have the towe on the table… it is gonna block all the monitors… and uh… a chance of it falling down on the floor as well…

Presence of RGB lighting should be a negative not a positive

Anyone remember the 2-5-5 timings on their DDR RAM :mrgreen:

Fortunately you dont have to use the RGB light, and its presence do not seem to hamper the RAM in doing its work, so you are left with some opaque plastic which if you are hard core / very anal about some things, well you will remove that, maybe change to custom heat sinks on the RAM.

I see the presence of RGB as a challenge nothing more, and i dont plan to use it in my next build which do not have a window.

I use to be very anal with things, like making custom cables that fit to the mm, but i will not bother with things like that nowadays as most modding today are off the shelf modding and not true modding.
Like you will see many a big youtuber build their new mod,,,,,, but it is just a off the shelf case with off the shelf cooling in it, but maybe dont right, but to me thats still not much of a mod, just a nice computer.
