In this video I unbox my new Kingston FURY Beast White 128GB (4x32GB) 5600MT/s CL40 DDR5 XMP DIMM | Overclocking | Plug N Play | Intel XMP 3.0 | Kit of 4 | KF556C40BWK4-128.

This is the replacement RAM I ordered after the Corsair RAM debacle (wherein they sold me scrap metal, not RAM, really, you wouldn’t dream of it!)

You can read about Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 Memory and find the KF556C40BWK4-128 specs (PDF). There is also warranty information and memory installation instructions.

You can learn more about memory timings, particularly CAS Latency.

Today I managed to double the RAM in ‘charisma‘ from 64GB to 128GB and also double the RAM in ‘treat‘ from 16GB to 32GB. A productive day!

In this video I unbox the CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 RAM 128GB (4x32GB) 5600MHz CL40 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory – Black (CMK128GX5M4B5600C40) which arrived today. Fair warning though: you will never believe what is in the box! Spoiler: it’s not RAM at all!

I had to return this product to Amazon and the replacement product I ordered instead was the Kingston Fury Beast White XMP DDR5 128GB 5600MT/s CL40 DIMM Desktop Gaming Memory (Kit of 4) – KF556C40BWK4-128. I will unbox that when it arrives later in December.

Update: it’s December 10 now and the replacement RAM has arrived, you can learn more about that over here: Unboxing #19: Kingston Fury Beast White XMP DDR5 128GB 5600MT/s CL40 RAM DIMM – KF556C40BWK4-128.

I learned a few things about RAM today. Things began with the realisation that a CPU can read 32GB of RAM (e.g. all of it) in about 10 seconds. That surprised me at first, and then I thought about it (for the first time ever, not usually a big fan of thinking, can lead to discomfort).

Then I learned that DDR4 has a 64-bit data bus whereas DDR5 has a 128-bit data bus.

And then I learned that today’s SDRAM used to be asynchronous DRAM.
