Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB vs Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB in detail
True latency
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 14.29 ns, against 16.25 ns for Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB — a difference of 1.96 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 5600 MT/s at CL40; Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB runs 6400 MT/s at CL52.
Transfer rate
Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB is rated 6400 MT/s against 5600 MT/s for Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB — 51200 MB/s per module, against 44800 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Price and tracked history
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB is tracked at £499.95 — £15.62 per gigabyte — and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB at £451.55, or £14.11. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB is £48.40 less than Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB. At £451.55, Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB is running 13% below its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB, Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB ships as 1 × 32GB. That is a real difference and not a ranking: more sticks fill more channels on a board that has them, while fewer sticks leave slots free for a later addition. Which suits depends on the board and on whether more memory is planned.
Lighting and timings
On the lighting question: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB runs 40-40-40, and Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB does not publish one.
Which to buy
There is no single answer here, because each kit leads on one axis. Kingston ValueRAM DDR5-6400 CUDIMM 1x32GB is the cheaper at the prices tracked here, and Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-5600 2x16GB the quicker on true latency at 14.29 ns against 16.25 ns. Which matters more depends on the build and the budget, and that is not a call this page can make.
