INTRODUCTION

   Exactly like M.2 PCIe 3.0 Gen3 SSDs which are still leading the consumer market in terms of sales both because of their compatibility and cost (always compared to PCIe 4.0 Gen4 models) it should take quite some time before DDR5 RAM manages to surpass DDR4, at least in that regard. Increased cost compared to DDR4 RAM and limited compatibility with motherboards other than the H610/B660/Z690 models by Intel (and of course the upcoming X670/B650 AM5 models by AMD) are obviously not the only 2 reasons behind this, real world performance gains and even compatibility issues between the motherboards and DDR5 kits (at least with Intel motherboards for now) have also been enough for many consumers to hold back in either building new or upgrading their current systems. So i really don't plan on "ditching" DDR4 reviews (even though my Z690 test rig is finally up and running) and so today with me i have yet another dual-channel kit, the FAYE Black 64GB 3600MHz CL18 by our friends over at Neo Forza.

   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 has paired 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 3600GHz 64GB (2x32GB) kit I have with me today sports dual-rank and single 16GB die modules by SK-Hynix and is XMP certified with timings set at 18-22-22-42-68. Of course, just like in past reviews the FAYE line of DDR4 RAM modules/kits is also covered with a rather generous lifetime warranty.
