Overview

The HyperX Fury HX436C17FB3/8 is a single 8GB DDR4 memory module running at 3600MHz with a CAS latency of CL17. Built with a 1Rx8 module configuration, it targets desktop builders who want a meaningful speed upgrade without breaking the bank. The black low-profile heat spreader keeps thermals in check while maintaining compatibility with oversized CPU coolers and compact cases where vertical clearance is tight.

Intel XMP support means that compatible motherboards can automatically configure the module to run at its rated 3600MHz speed, eliminating the need for manual memory timing adjustments in BIOS. As a single-stick solution, this module is well-suited for systems where you plan to add a matching stick later for dual-channel operation, or for filling out remaining DIMM slots in an existing build.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 3600MHz speed provides strong performance for gaming and multitasking
  • Low-profile heat spreader avoids clearance conflicts with large CPU coolers
  • Intel XMP-ready for simple one-click overclocking in BIOS
  • CL17 latency is a reasonable balance of speed and responsiveness at this frequency

👎 Cons

  • Single 8GB stick means no dual-channel benefit unless a second stick is purchased separately
  • 8GB may be limiting for memory-heavy workloads like video editing or heavy multitasking
  • XMP profiles are Intel-focused and may require manual tuning on some AMD platforms
  • No RGB lighting for builders who prefer illuminated components

Frequently Asked Questions
