Question about Samsung B-die

I'm in the market for cheap samsung OEM modules. Never interested in extreme ram oc, but looking how good the number is, i may give it a try.

I'm wondering is there any difference between 2133 vs say 2666 samsung B-die modules, will the former OC as good as the latter, since i assume it has the same chip.

B modules are pretty scarce but C & D die are abundant.

Do those chip will do the same trick as B-die?

Looking for at least 3600mhz.

If you just want 3600MHz, you're likely cheaper off getting a kit that has a different (cheaper) die and comes to 3600 by just enabling XMP. Even with B-die you're not guaranteed to get to that speeds. Most of the time you can just pay the B-die premium to get a different faster kit to begin with. Also RAM OCs can be very finicky, where it's stably in 99% of your Apps but suddenly you get crashes in one specific app. Just my opinion.

 

For example the 16GB Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz cl16 kit normally is cheaper than even 2666MHz B-Die kits.

One cannot reason with those who don't.

I'm not talking about kits, OEM modules, which is dirt cheap, just have to find the right modules.

There are close to none having new modules, which mostly C or D, but there are used / tray B modules.

I never had samsung b-die before, so it's an experiment.

Crucial ballistix is cheap in the us, where i live it's around $140.

B-Die is known to scale well with voltage. But the lower the frequency you buy into, the lower binned the B-Die is. It didn't pass certain tests at x frequency and voltage to be a higher released frequency module. 

 

For 140$ newegg has 3600mhz B-Die.

This kit, do pretty much whatever you want with it.
