Which RAM stick is appropriate for your setup? B-Die or M-Die?
I own two sets of memory modules—Corsair Vengeance LPX @3200Mhz 8gb (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16). Each set was purchased individually. Although they match the same model, one is a Samsung B-Die Single Rank and the other an Hynix M-Die Dual Rank. My motherboard is an Asus TUF Gaming B550 Plus with Wi-Fi, paired with a Ryzen 5 3600X. There’s no overclocking. I experienced compatibility problems with both sets, and the system wouldn’t boot. Using just one pair resolves the issue. I’m considering returning one, but it’s unclear which should remain. (Attached photos included.)
B-doe might improve in some areas, but M die (MFR) isn't great. Still, Thaiphoon Burner could be misleading, and if B die ends up in a poor rating, it might not be worth the effort compared to AFR, which is better than MFR.
It depends on your goals. Since you're not planning to overclock, sticking with the single-rank sticks from Samsung might be sufficient and more cost-effective.
This matches the same schedule and rate, because data on one level can be read while another is being refreshed, or they use interleaving. Then obtain the dual rank Hynix.
