how to install Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 SDRAM Memory Kit
- Power down your PC and unplug the power cord. Press the power button to discharge any residual power.
- Ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface.
- Open your computer case and locate the memory DIMM slots on the motherboard. If replacing existing modules, release the latches on the slots.
- Identify the correct slots for dual-channel operation. Consult your motherboard manual for the recommended configuration if you’re adding modules to an existing kit.
- Align the notch on each Kingston FURY Beast module with the keying on the DIMM socket. Insert the module firmly at a slight angle (about 45 degrees) and then press down evenly until the latches snap into place.
- Install both modules in the appropriate slots, ensuring a secure fit. Return any previously removed components to their positions and close the case.
- Reconnect power and boot your system. Enter BIOS/UEFI and enable XMP or SPD to run the memory at its rated speed (1866MHz) if your motherboard supports it. Save changes and reboot into your operating system for full utilization of the upgrade.
