Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 1x16GB CL36 price history in FR: current low €290.82, 12-month low €87.61, 12-month median €263.34.
Fair price — current price is 2% below the 3-month median.
At 6000, Kingston's FURY Beast DDR5 range spreads across more timing bins than its 5600 sibling — CL30, CL36, and CL40 versions all sold under the same name, plus a four-module 64GB kit the other speed grade doesn't offer.
This particular listing is 16GB as 1×16GB, rated 6000 MT/s CL36. Because the family spans three CL grades at one clock speed, matching the exact SKU on the box matters more here than usual; a cheaper listing at the same capacity may simply be the loosest-timed bin.
Like the rest of the Beast range, this is unbuffered UDIMM DDR5 with no RGB, meant for standard desktop motherboards rather than small-form-factor or server chassis.
Flare X5 is a heatspreader-only DDR5-6000 line built for clearance-constrained builds, and within this 6000 MT/s grade every listing shares that one headline speed — the CL bin and capacity are the only things actually separating listings.
FURY Beast at 6000 spans three CL grades under one name plus a four-module 64GB option its 5600 sibling doesn't offer, which makes matching the exact SKU more important here than with most families.
DDR5 doubled the bandwidth and moved power regulation onto the module. Whether that is worth paying for depends entirely on which platform you are building.
Crucial Pro trades looks for a compatibility-first, overclocking-headroom pitch, and within this 6400 MT/s grade, CAS latency -- not the shared headline speed -- is the number that actually separates one listing from another.
16 GB is no longer comfortable, 32 GB is the sensible default, and 64 GB is a workload decision rather than a future-proofing one.
A 2x16GB kit sits at the highest-volume point on the memory market, and volume is what actually sets price per gigabyte — not capacity, and not how new a kit's specification is.
