Help with Identifying Memory Die

[ShadowChaser]

I'd like to ID the die bin on this kit I saw for sale

The kit of G.Skill Ripjaws memory I saw is their 2x32GB 3600CL18 kit with a label of 04266XS833A

S3A indicates 16Gb Micron A die according to The Internet but I could be wrong.

I've never seen or heard of Micron A die being used in a high density high(ish) speed bin and there is all of one reddit thread on overclocking this stuff so I'd like to get a second opinion. Any other kits of this I could find appear to be Hynix MJR or AJR and I've not seen any Micron ICs in this kit from my research.

Realistically I wouldn't touch the timings - 3600CL18 is plenty fast for my needs especially considering that it's a 64GB kit.

Pretty atrocious looking at that reddit thread, 1.7v is the kind of volt youd be using for 5000+ shenanigans or cl13, dailyable but cooling concerns and imc degradation concerns (no these ics dont degrade with volt)

 

If you want something cheap then go on ebay and buy some micron/crucial 16gb 2666/3200 bare pcb with micron 16gb rev b (d9wfr 2666 or d9xpf 3200), much better oc so expect 3800 cl14 or 4800+ cl18. Ram ics determine you well your ram overclocks so thats why you want good ic, good pcb is also important ish but not that important, i mean you can still do 5000 on cheap bare pcb. 4x16 reccomended since its dual rank so ~20% bandwidth improvement over single rank, i assume you wont try messing with near 5000mhz oc so going dual rank is prefferable. Not sure if 32gb dual sided dimms are available in bare pcb form for cheap

Thanks for not answering my question lol

I'm not getting these sticks to OC. I just need 128GB on an AM4 platform and this is pretty much the cheapest performant kit on the market. I know Ryzen can be picky with earlier revisions of ddr4 which is why the die matters.

Welp i guess its just go in blind time, never heard of micron a die either but theres micron 16gbit rev b which def works on ryzen

 

Whatever it comes with will prob work fine, 16gbit ics arent that old and if they are they prob suck so bad they cant even be put in 3600 cl18 kits, i mean look at early ddr4 8gbit stuff like mfr or afr, those suck so bad they cant even do 3600, yes indeed there can be early ics that are good like 4gbit e die (samsung) but if its that old its likely discontinued anyways

 

If it doesnt work theres always just returning the kit and buying another one
