Samsung B or Micron E – which one suits better depends on your needs. B is superior, but E offers significant savings while maintaining good performance (almost as effective). For Ryzen processors, using a DRAM calculator will yield solid outcomes with either option. Regardless of the choice, it's advisable to select based on availability, cost, warranty details, etc. The specific die type doesn't matter much; what matters is compatibility. Consider your CPU's "infinity fabric clock" capacity – 3600MHz (or 1800MHz for infinity FCLK) is generally acceptable for most chips. However, this is usually the limiting factor, not the RAM itself (assuming B or E). High-end CPUs like 3900X and 3950X can push speeds up to 1900MHz or more. But aim for a perfect match between your CPU and RAM. If your CPU struggles at higher frequencies (silicon lottery), opt for 3200MHz RAM instead of chasing 3600MHz. With 3200MHz, you'll still perform well with 3000-series AMD chips. While the box might list 3600MHz, that's more about comfort than performance. If you go with 3200MHz, it will comfortably support faster speeds. In many cases, buying 3000MHz, 3200MHz, or 3600MHz RAM delivers similar results without the premium price tag.

I'm using two 16GB DDR4-3600 modules, 19-pin headers. I think the performance would be solid, though maybe not as fast as higher-end options. Running 4x8GB would likely slow things down.

But Micron E-die is almost half the cost, at least where I reside. Ah, already mentioned .. never mind then. Though still I'd get Micron...
