Some of the flash storagedevice’s listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and is notavailable for data storage. This can be used to force the system to overclock the memory if it does not overclock automatically. FURY Beast and Impact, using the PnP method of overclocking, also feature an XMP profile that matches the advertised speed and latency. If the system is not able to run at the overclocked PnP settings, the system will default to the JEDEC standard timings. Plug-N-Play (PnP) modules featured under FURY Beast and Impact product lines ship from the factory with the advertised overclock speed and latency programmed as the default values. The XMP/EXPO profile can then be enabled within the system BIOS.

Some systems do not support overclock speeds and latencies upon first installation, so in order to give every customer the best experience, Kingston sets the module to the JEDEC standard values, giving the user the choice to overclock using the XMP/EXPO profiles if the system supports it. These modules ship from the factory at JEDEC standard values. Most Kingston FURY/HyperX memory use XMP/EXPO profiles to overclock.
