INTRODUCTION

   DDR5 is finally here and with it brings speeds starting from 4800MHz with just 1.1V all the way up to an impressive 6400MHz at 1.35V (at least for now). In reality however DDR5 currently doesn't represent a significant jump in performance, primarily due to its rather increased CAS latency numbers compared to DDR4 (DDR5 modules usually start from CL38). This means that even an 3600MHz DDR4 kit with low CAS latencies (CL16 for example) can compete with an 5000MHz DDR5 kit (and perhaps even higher than that). On top of that there are a select few DDR4 kits in the market with speeds all the way up to 5000MHz and above which with CAS latencies of just 19 they can probably surpass what DDR5 has to offer today, at least performance-wise (I’ll be testing that myself soon). Neo Forza recently released just that, a FAYE DDR4 RAM kit clocked at 5000MHz which landed on my test bench roughly 3 weeks ago.

   We are a professional team, studying in computer memory and storage devices industry for more than 10 years. In order to meet the rising demand on speed and capacity of the high-end gaming market players, we created Neo Forza, a new generation of ultra-standard overclocking module, SSD and other related storage device designing brand. Neo represents from virtual to reality, showing our core value for product innovation. Forza shows our strength and determination to meet gamers every need. Neo Forza possess strong resources, focus on core technology. From research & design, specific production to exceed the testing benchmark; Neo Forza keep pushing over technical boundary, providing top-notch performance and quality, providing gamers / game players extraordinary using experience.

   Once again for their entire FAYE line of DDR4 modules Neo Forza pairs high quality aluminum heatspreaders with 10-layer PCB's for increased overclocking potential and stability. The FAYE line is currently available in black and red colors and includes single (8/16/32GB), dual (2x8/16/32GB) and quad (4x16GB) channel kits at 3000/3200/3600/4000/4400/4600/5000MHz frequencies, timings as low as CL15 (3000MHz CL15, 3200MHz CL16, 3600MHz CL18 and 4000/4400/4600/5000MHz CL19) and voltages set at 1.35V (3000/3200/3600MHz), 1.4V (4000MHz), 1.45V (4400MHz), 1.5V (4600MHz) and 1.6V (5000MHz). The 5000GHz 16GB (2x8GB) kit I’ll be testing today sports single-rank and single die 8GB modules by SK-Hynix and is XMP certified with timings set at 19-26-26-46-72. Finally, just like in the past the FAYE line of DDR4 RAM modules/kits is also covered with a rather generous lifetime warranty.
