Standard 3600mhz builds with timing patterns of 16-16-16-36 are commonly recognized by B-Dies. The higher frequency models were primarily designed for older Intel systems, which explains the limited discussion around them. Likely due to their price point. Many users don’t aim for peak performance; they just want reliable operation. Budget is usually the biggest factor. You can easily find a 3200mhz system with 32GB at a low cost. The extra speed comes from dedicated timings and 16GB RAM. For a 9900K, 16GB at 4000mhz CL16 (adjust timing settings) offers solid performance. CL17 models might benefit from slightly reduced Vdimm settings.
Because ram oc doesn’t deliver much until you start pushing heavy overclocks, most people who want extra performance should stick to using a profile built for their specific RAM model. It’s mostly straightforward, though you still enjoy the benefits of ram oc. Personally, I just do it for the thrill and the boost from higher voltages—like running 2.46V on DDR3. It gets really exciting with high-frequency, high-voltage setups. I’m a bit of a masochist, so I’ll just crank the voltage (for example, 2.46V on DDR3) just because RAMs start to respond. The ASUS BIOS usually guarantees stable voltages. Upgrading to a B die might not be worth it unless you can hit things like 3800C13 with around 1.7V and run low TRFC. For some builds, that’s not feasible due to inconsistent voltage and the need for a fan. You’ll likely get better results by just overclocking your current RAM unless your hardware is really outdated. If you’re looking at a 3800+ boost and want a profile online, it’s probably worth it. Upgrades like 2666B are essential if you need top-tier performance, but they’re rare and expensive (around $266). 8GB sticks cost about $23, while 16GB sticks are near $50. The main point is that these changes won’t reach the best speeds unless your board is from a niche manufacturer. High clock speeds are great on the die, but they’re sensitive to heat—ideally aim for 4800+ with a cooler setup. If you can’t reach those temps, it’s fine for lower performance builds. For 8GB sticks, c9bjz and 16GbE seem like the best bets, though D9WFR is still decent compared to older models. The only real comparison thread I saw was about 2666C19/20 or D9WFL, but those are close in performance.
Sure, I'm pushing 3800 with 16-16-16-36 and a 1.40v setting. You probably won't need fans for B-Die unless you're aiming for extremely fast clock speeds or higher frequencies. Running at 40c or lower under load is ideal for B-Die, depending on how quickly stability drops. I've tried Cas 14 at 4000MHz or a 14-14-14-34 setup, but it's around 1.6v with active cooling. Not meant for regular use. I just benchmark to see what works best.
Just focus on your own devices and don’t let high voltages scare you. When I first got my new setup, I was surprised by how low the specs were, so I quickly checked reviews for voltage tips that seemed unrealistic. Right after installing my latest parts, I realized that even with stress tests pushing RAM to its limits, nothing broke. That taught me I can push things without worrying about long-term damage.
I’ve been testing older hardware too—things like ASUS WGARD and basic motherboards. They’re tough, but they don’t degrade quickly unless you push them too hard. I usually just upgrade when I find a better deal or when I need more performance.
My rule is: if it doesn’t break me, keep using it. If I want to improve, I’ll do it without sacrificing stability. Just stay smart about what you buy and don’t let fear of voltage ruin your build.
You're asking about suitable games for running at 2400MHz DDR3. What titles perform well at that speed?
You’ve received the part today – a Hynix C-DIE. For overclocking, focus on stable power delivery and thermal management. Max voltage depends on your motherboard and chipset limits; check specs carefully. Aiming for 3800MHz is ambitious but possible if you optimize BIOS settings and ensure proper cooling. Good luck!

This setup won’t accept extra voltage, so use 1.350+ 0.010v and 1.360v total Vdimm. The small adjustment stops droop. If they don’t support C16/17, go with C18—it may need some fine-tuning, but looser timings usually help overclocking. Take your time adjusting and testing. We’ll meet again in a couple of weeks.
Rip just give it back or resell, I don’t care about the CJR since it’s not great. It’s not total rubble—3800 cl16 could work but might need tweaking. Hynix DJR (clocks to the moon) works if you adjust the sample, scales around 1.9v. Micron Rev E/B gives decent timing, light on IMC, consistent, scales to ~1.7v. Samsung B Die is heavy on IMC but has solid timings, scales up to 2.1v+ but caps at 1.75v before maxmem, a bit inconsistent. You’re probably better sticking with what you had before, depending on the IC.
