Kingston HyperX FURY DDR3 8GB (2x4GB) 1333MHz CL9, HX313C9FBK2/8
Fine for patching an old 1333MHz DDR3 desktop; otherwise buy a current FURY Beast kit.
The short version
- Owners of older DDR3 desktops that run memory at 1333MHz
- Anyone matching an existing HyperX FURY 1333 kit
- Your system has an Intel 100 series chipset, which supports only the 1.35 V FURY DDR3 parts
- You need a laptop module, since this is a full size desktop DIMM
- You can buy a current 1600MHz kit for about the same money
What owners like
- Runs at rated speed with no BIOS changes
- Heat spreader is only a little taller than standard memory, so cooler clearance is rarely a problem
- Lifetime warranty is a strong backstop for older parts
Common complaints
- Speed is limited by what the motherboard BIOS allows
- 1333MHz CL9 is the slowest speed in the FURY DDR3 range
Based on Kingston's HyperX FURY DDR3 datasheet, plus Back2Gaming and GizCrunch reviews of the faster 1866MHz FURY DDR3 kits from the same family, and two retailer listings.

What it does
A two stick, 8GB desktop DDR3 memory kit from Kingston's old HyperX FURY line, now discontinued and mostly found as leftover or used stock.
- Plug and play: the board reads the speed and timings automatically, no XMP profile to switch on
- Asymmetric aluminium heat spreader on a black PCB
- Kingston says every module is 100 percent factory tested
- Kingston lists compatibility with Intel 6, 7, 8 and 9 series chipsets and several AMD chipsets
Worth it only to fill out or repair an older DDR3 desktop that runs at 1333MHz, where it drops in with no BIOS setup and carries Kingston's lifetime warranty. It is the slowest speed in the FURY DDR3 range and no longer made, so for anything else a current Kingston FURY Beast DDR3 1600MHz kit is the better buy.

Questions
Is the HX313C9FBK2/8 discontinued?
Yes. Retail listings mark it as no longer available, and Kingston's current DDR3 memory is sold under the FURY Beast name.
Will HyperX FURY 1333 work at 1600MHz?
Kingston only promises automatic setup up to the highest speed the board and BIOS allow, and this kit is rated at 1333MHz. For 1600MHz, buy a kit rated for it.
Does it work with Intel Skylake (100 series) boards?
Kingston says 100 series chipsets support only the low voltage 1.35 V FURY DDR3 parts. This kit runs at 1.5 V.
Does it fit a laptop?
No. It is a 240-pin desktop DIMM.
