Jesus, it's quite confusing. There are numerous codes even for a single type of RAM. I don't think I should push it too far, so I'll settle for one like you suggested. It doesn't appear there are other ways to find the die besides using the B, which means I can't organize them myself, so I guess I'll just roll a random die (just a joke).

These kits offer similar performance, but the board layout might vary—some use A2 PCB, others A1 or A0. You'll find out which one you have after buying and using TaiphoonBurner.
That sounds great! I'm sure the 3200 will work well for you. Enjoy the overclocking!
Another suggestion is to ensure your OC'ed memory has ample airflow. Stability is achieved through cooler temperatures. This set includes temperature sensors, allowing you to monitor them using hardware from the HWInfo64 line. I prefer keeping mine at 45c or below, particularly when aiming for 1.45v or higher.
Regarding specific RAM kits for AMD and Intel, it's possible to distinguish kits based on their onboard profile support for XMP or DOCP. While both kits are compatible with either platform, the motherboard may need manual configuration of memory settings. Certain boards can recognize both DOCP and XMP profiles.
Many Intel extreme memory kits appear on AMD AM4 motherboard QVL listings. Often, people need to realize these products are tested in single sticks, single channel, dual channels with dual sticks, or even some with all four slots in dual channel. The sheer size of the DDR4 chips is impressive. I find it hard to grasp the full scope. Die manufacturing years show differences, but that’s a lot to consider. Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung each produce large batches of similar models. Some variations exist, though certain brands may have omitted some listed here. The memory PCB layouts are extensive, covering many sections from A0 to B3. I suspect the information extends further down the list. Understanding this depth is crucial. Compatibility issues are common, and OC performance varies significantly. Overall, I’m using a kit with Intel 19-19-19-39 4267mhz 1.40V on A2 PCB—it performs exceptionally well and I really appreciate it.
I believe B-Die Samsung and E-Die Micron would rank among the best options. If you're familiar with competitive overclockers, there are solid reasons for this. This opinion applies across all previous generations of Double data rate memory, including the Micron D9 I mentioned earlier. For A-Die, it seems to overclock well, though it won't match the performance of B-Die. It appears Samsung discontinued B-Die production in 2019, leaving only E-Die and B-Die kits available today.
