Samsung B-die in a 2x16gb (dual rank as well) configuration for under $380 AUD.
Other B-die kits I have been looking at with 16gb dimms, relatively "cheap" and available:
F4-3600C16D-32GTZN around $380
F4-3600C16Q-64GTZN around $680
CamelCamelCamel.
If you don't know, you don't know.
B-Die is for enthusiasts, not those looking to build the most budget rigs.
I know about it. I am just saying the benefits don't seem worth it for the cost is all.
People go and rushed to buy the 4090. same breed.
@ATangk: There was a guy on here saying they were holding on the best overclocking 4090s until next year? Surely the guys buying this already have a 3090 and are waiting on Nvidia to put their boning stick back in their pants before bending over for daddy Jensen?
Probably not in this day and age, being only 3200mhz. I remember paying like $320 for 16gb of 3200 CL14 B-Die back in 2018, damn that was rough. I managed to pick up an identical kit for $50 on facebook marketplace about 1.5 years ago though, so now I've got 32gb over four dimms which is pretty nice. G.Skill FlareX
Enthusiasts wanting maximum performance should be on a DDR5 platform now though. So this isn't even for enthusiasts, it's only for competitive overclockers.
Both true, but there's a certain allure for people that just like PC hardware. I wouldn't say it's a bargain either, but it's not a bad buy either.
Patriot viper exists if you're looking for good speed and capacity isn't as important to you (ie gaming). 16gb 4400mhz c19 for $166. Speed would be a crapshoot for ryzen on whether it works or not but worse case you could lower the mhz while tightening timings to get similar latency.
Yeah they have always been a decent buy. I ended up going all out and getting 4000/C14 Royals because why not
TBH, I don't think this DDR4 is a bargain considering I just bought a DDR5 32G kit with Hynix A-Die at the same price.
Link to the Hynix A die?
It's a Chinese website https://global.jd.com/ NASDAQ listed basically a Chinese Amazon
The website is only available in Chinese language but accepts international bank cards and can ship internationally. Can be registered with Australian phone number as well.
For anyone's interests, I include some cheap DDR5- A die and DDR4 B die links.

no chance of warranty then eh.
All your samsung b-die links are 2x8gb. Kits like that you can find cheaper on Amazon.
someone tell HP these would sell better without the ugly & obnoxious logo up there. I understand you wont see it once its installed but damn do these look ugly as
Just FYI I posted this same deal a couple of weeks back, ordered them, and … .nothing was shipped for days and days.
I ended up cancelling and going with "slower" 3600mhz CL16 g.skill on hynix , $250 for 32gb, they're running pretty damn well actually.
Moving from 2x8gb CL3600 CL18 to 32gb cl16 did have a different feel… Somehow the ryzen9 5900x is happier with good latency, I managed to up my benchmarks a few %.. but haven't been pc gaming in a while so hard to say more.
This seems expensive… I guess cause its cl14… but surely the cost increase isn't worth it over the benefits you would gain over something like cl16? ;o
