Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase a Samsung B Die kit. I checked the options on B Die Finder and wanted to pick the most affordable B Die RAM. https://www.newegg.com/global/tr-en/g-sk...-_-Product I saw a cheap RGB B Die RAM that doesn't match the specs for an actual B Die, but it claims B Die Guaranteed. My concern is whether all B Die are identical on B Die Finder. For example, how do a Trident Z Neo 3200 MHz CL14 compare to a 3700 CL17 if they're both B Die? Can they both be overclocked to the same speed and voltage? Thanks.
You can secure a great kit with some strategy or luck. There are techniques you can try, or simply rely on chance.
Luck comes with getting a faster device, like higher speed and less delay. Micron E chips perform just as well or even better than Samsung B dies.
The most affordable Samsung B-die is likely the 3200 CL14, but you might also find options in the 4000-4400 CL18-19 range for comparable value. Rev-E is a solid choice if you don’t need the fastest speeds; it runs at high frequencies without overloading the memory controller. Rev-B is quite comparable in that aspect. Those clock speeds are decent, though not the absolute best.
I discovered a seller offering the Trident Z Neo 3200 MHz CL14 B Die at a low price, but he hasn’t responded to my message for two days, which left me quite frustrated. Now I’m also considering the Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB with Rev E Die for $85, unused. I think I’ll go with that. By the way, I’m planning to use the Crucial RAM at 1.5V for a 3600 MHz CL14. Will running it at 1.5V affect the RAM over time?
