Testing
The following system was used to test the memory kit:
– Processor: Intel i9 9900K @ 5GHz
– Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming X
– Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio
– SSD: Crucial P2 500GB
– Mass Storage: GOODRAM IRDM PRO GEN.2 1TB
– PSU: Seasonic Snow Silent 750W Platinum
– CPU Cooler: SilverStone Permafrost PF240W-ARGB
– Case: be quiet! Silent Base 802 White
– OS: Windows 10 64-Bit (After April Update)
The RAM was tested using the CPU at its turbo frequency of 5GHz. The memory was firstly tested using the standard X.M.P frequency while the second test was done with the memory at the maximum frequency reached while Overclocking. Each test was done a minimum of three times.
The Neo Forza Faye DDR4 32GB 3600MHz has little to no headroom on a Z390 platform, however it works well using the XMP profile.
Software used for testing the RAM Kit:
– CineBench R15
– Shadow of the Tomb Raider
– SuperPi 1.55 Mod
– AIDA64 Extreme Version: 6.32.5600
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
CineBench R15
AIDA64 Read/Write/Copy Benchmark
AIDA64 Latency Benchmark
SuperPi 1.55 Mod
Final thoughts
The Neo Forza Faye DDR4 32GB 3600MHz is one of those rare RAM kits that offers raw performance without unnecessary design elements. The RAM kit looks good and will match any system, thanks to its neutral color scheme.
One of the main features of this RAM kit is the competitive pricing and the performance offered. With a factory frequency of 3600MHz, the Faye performs well in all benchmarks, it will not be the fastest RAM kit on the market, but it does perform.
In terms of performance, the Faye is around the same level as the Crucial Ballistix or the GOODRAM IRDM Pro. The overclocking process will vary greatly based on the platform used, especially since this RAM kit has a total size of 32GB.A 32GB RAM kit will be harder to overclock than a 16GB kit, because it will require more power and stability from the memory controller and the motherboard.
The build quality is good and the components used to make everything work are of high quality; we’re talking Hynix memory chips on both sides of the PCB.
In conclusion, the Faye is as good as a RAM kit can be, and it will work out of the box at the advertised speed and timings. All this without any of the fancy features that are usually the reason why the price of RAM kits is higher. If you want RGB and fancy graphics, this might not be for you, however, if you want a simple RAM kit that will perform as promised, then the Faye can deliver.
