3.2. Installation Steps

1. Open Case: Carefully open your computer case to access the motherboard.
2. Locate DIMM Slots: Identify the DDR5 DIMM slots on your motherboard. For dual-channel operation with two modules, typically slots A2 and B2 (or 2nd and 4th slots from the CPU) are recommended. Refer to your motherboard manual.
3. Open Retention Clips: Push the small plastic clips at each end of the DIMM slot outwards to open them.
4. Align Module: Hold the memory module by its edges, avoiding touching the gold contacts. Align the notch on the module with the key in the DIMM slot.
5. Insert Module: Place the module into the slot and apply firm, even pressure to both ends until the clips snap into place, securing the module.
6. Repeat: Install the second module into the appropriate slot as per your motherboard's dual-channel configuration.
7. Close Case: Once both modules are securely installed, close your computer case and reconnect the power.

4. Operating Instructions

After physical installation, you may need to configure your system's BIOS/UEFI to utilize the full speed of your Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory.

4.1. Enabling XMP/EXPO Profiles

Your Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory supports Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles, which allow your system to automatically configure the memory to its advertised speed (6000MT/s) and timings. Without enabling these profiles, your memory may run at a lower default speed (e.g., 4800MT/s).

1. Enter BIOS/UEFI: Restart your computer and repeatedly press the designated key (often Del, F2, F10, or F12) during startup to enter your system's BIOS/UEFI settings.
2. Locate Memory Settings: Navigate to the memory or overclocking section. This is often found under
