I'm searching for affordable Samsung OEM parts. I'm not keen on maximum RAM size, but I want to see how performance looks. I'm curious about the difference between 2133 and 2666 B-die modules—will the first offer similar results? Since I assume they share the same chip, I'm checking if they perform similarly. B-die chips are rare, while C and D variants are plentiful. Are these chips capable of achieving the same frequency as B-die? I need at least 3600mhz performance.

You're probably saving more by choosing a different package with a lower price and just turning on XMP. Even with a B-die, you won't always hit those speeds. Often it's better to pay the extra for a faster kit upfront. RAM quirks can be tricky—most apps work fine, but one specific program might crash unexpectedly. Just my take: the 16GB Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz cl16 kit is usually cheaper than even 2666MHz B-Die options.

I'm focusing on finding suitable modules instead of generic kits. Most available options are C or D models, with very few new ones. There are some used or tray B modules, but nothing close to Samsung B-Die. I haven't tried Samsung B-Die before—it's an experiment. Ballistix parts are reasonably priced in the US, about $140.

B-Die performs effectively across varying voltage levels. Lower frequencies result in reduced binning precision. It failed specific tests at certain x frequency and voltage settings, preventing it from qualifying as a higher-release module. A 3600mhz B-Die is available for $140 on Newegg. https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/p...20-232-437 This component offers flexibility for your projects.
