Kingston Technology FURY 8GB 4800MT/s DDR5 CL38 SODIMM Impact

The Kingston Technology FURY 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM (KF548S38IB-8) brings DDR5 memory to laptops and small-form-factor machines with a compact 262-pin SO-DIMM design. Operating at 4800MT/s with a CAS latency of 38 and a 1.1V supply, this 8GB module improves multitasking and responsiveness for gaming, creative work and everyday use while including on-die ECC for increased stability.

Advantages

This DDR5 SO-DIMM delivers higher bandwidth and starting speeds of 4800MT/s, offering up to 50% faster data rates compared with DDR4 at the same baseline. Plug N Play enabled modules automatically overclock to the highest listed PnP speed without needing BIOS profiles, while modules with Intel® XMP 3.0 support can reach published maximums (up to 6400MT/s) when the XMP profile is selected. The module runs at a low 1.1V for improved power efficiency and includes on-die ECC to help maintain data integrity during heavy workloads.

Suitable for

• Laptops and compact desktops using 262-pin SO‑DIMM
• Upgrading a single 8GB memory module to improve multitasking
• Users needing reliable DDR5 performance for gaming and creative applications

How to use

Power off the laptop or small-form-factor PC and disconnect it from power. Refer to the device manual to access the SO‑DIMM slot(s). Align the notch on the Kingston FURY DDR5 module with the slot, insert at an angle, then press down until the module clicks into place and retention clips secure it. Reassemble the device, reconnect power and boot. For automatic overclocking, leave the motherboard/BIOS default settings if the module supports Plug N Play. To enable Intel® XMP 3.0 overclocking, enter BIOS and select the appropriate XMP profile to reach higher published frequencies where supported.

Recommendations

Ensure your system supports DDR5 SO‑DIMM and check the motherboard or laptop documentation for maximum supported memory and compatible configurations. When mixing modules, match DDR5 speeds and timings where possible. Update BIOS to the latest version for best compatibility with XMP profiles and Plug N Play functionality.
