The Neo Forza Mars 32GBx2 3200MHz C16 kit has performed great on the test platform and provides the much-needed capacity for productivity work that requires more resources such as video encoding. If you have a case with a plexiglass window, the kit can deliver quite a show, being compatible with RGB utilities from the most known motherboard manufacturers!
At first, we would like to thank Neo Forza for sending us a sample of their MARS RGB 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 Memory Kit for testing and reviewing.
“Capacity is Power, Speed is King
We are a professional team, studying in computer memory and storage devices industry for more than 10 years.

In this article we will look at another product from Neo Forza brand by Goldkey Technology Corporation, the MARS RGB DDR4 64GB RAM kit. It runs at 3200MHz and comes with a CAS latency of 16. The RAM is operating at a stock voltage of 1.35 and features a heatsink with two different color choices (black and red), in order to fit more gaming setup color schemes.
The kit is shipped inside a classic cardboard enclosure, which shows how the kit does look when in operation:
On the back, we will note of the available MARS RGB kit configurations and the technical specifications for each; further down we will get to see a detailed list of features:
This kit does consist of two modules with 32GB capacity each:
While the lower part of the heatsink is black, the top area comes with a dark grey accent; as we have seen with other gaming kits, the PCB is all-black, which goes great in combination with gaming-specific motherboard color schemes:
The Neo Forza logo is present twice in the middle: one of it is printed in the middle and features a white color, while the top one is part of the RGB light diffuser:
The opposite side is identical, only here will also spot a small sticker with multiple details:
Here we will note the kit configuration, operating voltage, CAS latency, the internal code name but also the module serial number:
By looking on the side, we will be able to see how the two heatsink parts are joined together, but also the thermal pads which are used as an interface between the ICs and the cooling system:
The top diffuser allows the RGB light to shine through in order to create a smooth effect:
As soon as we have started out our test system, the RGB light show did begin!
CPU: Intel i7 9700K Retail
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming
RAM: Currently tested kit
Video: XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 RAW II Ultra
Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W
SSD: OCZ Vector 150
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922
The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as SK hynix:
Here is the memory operating status as confirmed by CPU-Z:
Besides testing the memory modules at XMP timings, we have also compared the results with the ones obtained at 2133, 2400, 2666 and 3000. Afterwards, we tried a bit of overclocking by first setting a frequency of 3300 and using the stock timings (primary, the secondary ones were left on Auto). While the system did boot fine, TestMem5 did start throwing errors 6 minutes into the test, so we could not consider this attempt as stable:
Our second attempt was to increase the main timings to 17-19-19-43 and ran the TestMem5 again to check for stability; the RAM passed with flying colors!
The Neo Forza Mars 32GBx2 3200MHz C16 kit has performed great on the test platform and provides the much-needed capacity for productivity work that requires more resources such as video encoding. If you have a case with a plexiglass window, the kit can deliver quite a show, being compatible with RGB utilities from the most known motherboard manufacturers!
The claim of the manufacturer that the ICs are thoroughly tested from the factory in order to meet the kit speeds is 100% correct, us needing to raise the timings a bit in order to have an error-free system at overclocking speed of 3300MHz.
The kit is also available in two different heatsink color in order to meet your build preferences and comes with a lifetime limited warranty. Goldkey has made a good impression with the recently released products and we are eager to check out which models they will launch next!
At the time of the review, the kit was available online for about $358 in the US at the Newegg retailer, being in-line with the pricing of similar kits from other manufacturers.
We would like to thank again to Neo Forza for making this review possible!
