B-Die are uncommon and costly, but if you manage to obtain one, they're highly valued within the OC community. Many B-die have already been secured by top companies; Samsung no longer produces them, not even for internal use. For a more affordable alternative that still offers good performance, consider an OEM Samsung (the green variant) D-Die module—available at around $25 for an 8GB unit. It's fairly straightforward to acquire.
B-Die isn't uncommon, though it can be costly at times. It depends on where you find it. This particular set is usually worth grabbing—quick, affordable, and reasonably priced. Newegg should carry all the available colors; just adjust the product code at the end of the part number. In this model, SW is white, KW is black, and GTZ without an ending letter is red. https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/p...20-232-438
I'm in a scam country (also called the EU) and stumbled on something but it's pricier than expected—55 euros. Then I found a black and white trident Z for 20 euros more than what I expected, which is kind of a joke. Still cool. He even fried his windows with all the overclocking, honestly. I can't locate this, but I'm okay with any Trident Z that works with Samsung B-Die. The cheapest I found was 130 euros for a 3200 CL14. I also saw a Trident Z Neo 3600 CL14 for 205 euros, which could be a faster option if I want. That would add about 75 euros more.
The 3200 CL 14 with B-Die (14-14-14) settings can handle 16-16-16 at 3600mhz effortlessly. A 130EU setup would be a great choice.
I managed to get this one now… it’s a bit funny since turning off the RGB might make it less noticeable on my PC (except for the GPU, which I actually like). https://www.gskill.com/specification/165/167/1536717320 Anyway, I suspect it’s a B-die, but the B-die checker site is acting up—showing it as B-die while taking too long and giving conflicting results. It also mentions an "X" that seems to be throwing it off. These shops are really confusing. Now I’m paying about $10 more (from 150 to 160) just because of the confusion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
