An Intel Core i9 11900K CPU on a Maximus XIII Apex motherboard from Asus is used as the test platform. The CPU is not manually overclocked for this and only the Adaptive Boost Technology is activated to achieve the highest possible clock rates in all situations. The cache clock is statically increased to 4.5 GHz to ensure the best possible connection of the working memory. The BIOS version used is 1007, which is the latest at the time of testing.
I deliberately did not test with a current Ryzen platform, because although the kit is listed as compatible with AMD platforms, the clock speeds from the XMP profiles are difficult to achieve with current CPUs and even then above the 1:1 limit of the FCLK they become much more imperformant than at manual tuning below. But if you still want to know the theoretical performance of the kit with an AMD system, you can simply cross-reference with one of the previous tests. As always, an overview of the hardware used can be found in the following table:

Besides the Kingston Fury Renegade kit, I put the also DJR-based 5066c20 XMP kit from G.Skill into the diagrams as a reference, as well as a Samsung B-Die based kit with completely manual tuning at 4800c18, which represents for the absolute performance maximum for single-rank DDR4. This comparison is tough, but fair to judge the true price performance of the kit from today’s review. For full transparency, I still have the screenshots with all the timings of these two comparison configs here:
As usual, some abbreviations have been used in the diagrams for better readability, which are explained below with examples:
- 5333c20: Specified clock speed DDR4-5333 or 5333 Mbps with 2666 MHz and tCL timing 20
- 5333 20-30-30-52: Operated clock rate DDR4-5333 with primary timings tCL 20, tRCD 30, tRP 30 and tRAS 52
- 1T: Command Rate 1 Tick
- Gear2: Ratio on the Intel platform between memory controller clock and main memory clock in the ratio 1:2
- DJR, B-Die: Memory chips installed on the main memory modules – Hynix 8 Gbit DJR or Samsung 8 Gbit B-Die
- 11900K: CPUs used on the test platform – Intel Core i9 11900K
