We have reached the end of another review, so it is once again time to consolidate everything and get straight to the major talking points. Does Neo Forza have something worth considering when it comes to high-end memory?

I think one of the most important things to talk about when it comes to deciding whether a product is worth buying could be answered by a simple question of what is required for proper function. In this situation, the question simply translates into what it will take to get the X.M.P of 5000 MT/s stable. I'm going to put this bluntly and anyone is welcome to voice their opinion in the comments section. Getting straight to the point, If you are not into the overclocking scene or have an interest in tinkering with different voltages and timings, these DIMMs are unlikely to boot and run correctly without stability issues. For any Intel CPU before the 11th Gen, it will be questionable at best as far as reliability, as it will be nearing the absolute limits of the memory controller. This is because those Intel CPUs did not have the memory ratio function implemented yet. On the AMD platform, a big focus should be prioritizing a motherboard that supports such a memory kit over possible memory controller issues.

If you still are interested in this kit, there is more to consider that comes as no surprise to those who already have experience with overclocking. Those uninitiated may find a default operating voltage of 1.6 terrifying. However, this is perfectly acceptable for the binned Hynix DJR ICs used in this memory kit. Direct airflow over the DIMMs at first to avoid any unwanted headaches while dialing everything in is still highly recommended.

Now, to be clear, nothing said above is Neo Forza-specific. These possible upsets apply to any memory that is operating in this realm. Say you decided this is what you have your eyes set on. It certainly isn't a bad choice. Neo Forza doesn't spend a lot of money on a flashy exterior, instead focusing on highly binned ICs, which may put off those looking for both. However, even better is the lifetime warranty accompanying it as long as you do not exceed 1.6 V. This allows for a wide range of different frequencies and adjustments to the timings based on the system in question. It can be less stressful to start out with a higher kit and test what is best to then dial it in for your system as opposed to buying lower and going up. It is certainly more challenging to overclock with a lower-binned kit, but it also introduces uncertainties when it comes to troubleshooting.

The Neo Forza Faye DDR4-5000 holds the honor of being the highest-binned retail kit Neo Forza offers currently. As such, it will take a motherboard that is capable of running a memory kit of a certain caliber. In fact, it will generally require a bit of technical knowledge beyond what is considered plug and play. Built upon high-quality ICs, this Neo Forza Faye 5000 MT/s kit is recommended for those who chase records or enjoy tinkering with computers. This can test your patience at times, but the payoff is quite rewarding. Chances are only a limited number of people have a similar setup. For those who take pride in accomplishing a challenging goal or simply wanting to show off a bit of technical know-how, Neo Forza delivers as promised, just with the standard asterisk appended to the end of every sentence when it comes to any memory pushing DDR4 to the edge of what is currently possible.
