Kingston FURY CUDIMM Modules for Intel 800-Series Chipset

Kingston just announced the upcoming release of Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs, compatible with Intel’s new 800-series chipset (formerly codenamed Arrow Lake). Intel’s 800-series chipset is the first platform to utilize Clock Drivers on CUDIMMs (Clocked Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules). At 6400MT/s DDR5, JEDEC mandates the inclusion of a Client Clock Driver (CKD) on UDIMMs and SODIMMs. This component buffers and redrives the clock signal from the processor, enhancing signal integrity to the module. To distinguish these advanced modules from standard DDR5 UDIMMs and SODIMMs, JEDEC has designated them as CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs, respectively. 

Kingston FURY Renegade RGB and non-RGB CUDIMM modules start at an overclocked speed of 8400MT/s and are available as 24GB single modules and 48GB dual channel kits. Since CUDIMMs and UDIMMs share the same 288-pin connector, Kingston FURY UDIMMs with XMP and EXPO profiles are also compatible with Intel 800-series motherboards. However, it’s recommended to verify compatibility through the motherboard manufacturer’s QVL (Qualified Vendor List) or by checking the Kingston Configurator for supported speeds and capacities.

“Our new 8400MT/s CUDIMM modules have been thoroughly tested, qualified by the top motherboard manufacturers, and Intel XMP certified on the new Intel Z890 motherboards with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors," says Kingston. "The introduction of overclockable DDR5 CUDIMM modules allows us to reach a broader range of professionals who demand top-tier performance and want to push the limits of their systems without compromising signal integrity."

Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs will begin shipping from early December onwards.

Joining the recently launched Kraken V4 and Kraken V4 X, the Kraken V4 Pro with its pioneering OLED Control Hub, brings a new dimension of audio immersion and control, pushing the limits of what an immersive wireless gaming headset can offer. 

Engineered for Comprehensive Audio Control 

Our journey in developing the Kraken V4 Pro was driven by a singular vision: to create a headset that not only provides unparalleled sound but also gives gamers complete control over their immersive gaming experience.  

The centerpiece of this vision is the OLED Control Hub. Its design was inspired by audio amps and features an OLED display set at an ergonomic 20-degree angle. The Control Hub acts as a centralized command center directly at your fingertips, offering over 20 customization options. Manage audio and haptic settings, or home screen customization that includes the display of system metrics or even upload custom images and animations. 

Next-Generation Audio Immersion with Razer Sensa HD Haptics 

Razer takes haptic feedback beyond the norm with Sensa HD Haptics technology—offering an unparalleled ecosystem of full-body audio immersion that sets a new standard in gaming. Unlike anything else in the industry, Sensa HD Haptics enables synchronized cross-device haptic effects, turning every nuanced audio cue and gameplay action into precise, tangible sensations.

This technology is fully supported in major titles such as Hogwarts Legacy and the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2, significantly enhancing spatial awareness and the depth of gameplay. The inclusion of Sensa HD Haptics ensures that every whisper of wind or earth-shattering explosion is not just heard but profoundly felt, providing an unprecedented layer of immersion that brings you closer to the action than ever before. 

The ear cushions, crafted from specialized memory foam and protein leather, are meticulously selected to optimize haptic conductivity, ensuring every vibration is felt with unprecedented intensity. 

Pro-Grade Audio Drivers featuring THX Spatial Audio 

Rounding out the Kraken V4 Pro’s impressive feature set are the patented Razer TriForce Bio-Cellulose 40 mm drivers. These drivers have been upgraded to include a bio-cellulose diaphragm that enhances sound clarity while reducing distortion, delivering audio that’s both rich in bass and sharp in acoustics across a wider range of frequencies. 

With THX Spatial Audio, the Kraken V4 Pro offers advanced 7.1 surround sound, delivering realistic positional audio and expanding the soundstage. Additionally, with custom-tuned THX Game Profiles for over 60 popular titles, gamers can dive right into the action with tailored auditory settings that bring every detail to life. 

Unmatched Versatility Across All Platforms 

Understanding the diverse ecosystems gamers operate in today, we equipped the Kraken V4 Pro with multiple connectivity options. Whether you are gaming on a PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or mobile device, the headset offers seamless integration. With Razer HyperSpeed Wireless for ultra-low-latency wireless audio, Bluetooth for on-the-go connectivity, USB Wired for an uninterrupted gaming, and a 3.5 mm jack for universal compatibility, the Kraken V4 Pro is truly a versatile headset designed to adapt to any setup. 

The OLED Control Hub further enhances versatility by connecting up to three audio sources simultaneously through two USB-C ports and one 3.5mm port, allowing for both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio to be used concurrently, with instant source input switching to effortlessly toggle between devices like PC and PlayStation. 

Crystal-Clear Communication 

The Kraken V4 Pro also features the Razer HyperClear Super Wideband Mic, also found on the award-winning BlackShark V2 Pro 2023, present here as a retractable microphone that captures a wider frequency range, ensuring your voice is broadcast with crystal clarity.

This mic setup ensures that every command is delivered with precision, essential for coordinating with teammates in a competitive setting. In addition, the sleek, flush design of the retractable microphone adds to the convenience and styling of the headset.
