CONCLUSION
Even though the FAYE 16GB 5000MHz kit by Neo Forza can easily take on anything DDR5 can currently throw at it (and in the near future possibly) it's not quite as versatile. For one such high frequencies can only be used in 8GB modules, something which may limit potential buyers with need for high capacities. Then there's also the fact that not every motherboard out there can handle such frequencies (5000MHz) with ease, at least not at these timings. The same of course can be said about DDR5 since currently only Z690 motherboards are compatible with such modules and since they are the very first ones to do so i suspect that they may not be taking full advantage of that technology (also there seems to be a serious shortage of DDR5 modules surpassing 5000MHz at the moment). So, if the best possible performance is your thing, then it's clear from all the charts that the FAYE 5000MHz 16GB kit delivers just that and then some.
At the time of this review, I was able to track the FAYE 16GB DDR4 5000MHz kit for USD179.99 only inside the USA (Newegg) a price tag which is actually fair for one of the fastest DDR4 kits in the market today. Unfortunately, global availability is less than satisfactory but honestly the same can be said for every 5000MHz kit. At the end of the day if performance is what you're looking for the FAYE 5000MHz kit is without doubt among the best out there and for that it deserves the Platinum Award.
