Maybe someone is using this same ram and can tell me what Die this ram is, i called Corsair and they could not tell me over the phone phone i am having to wait on a email bc they have to contact the higher department. This is what i am interested in purchasing but was wanting to know what Die this is before i purchase...

A quick G search, tells me these are Hynix.


Early revisions point to being B-Die; the ones about appear to be Hynix based on Thaiphoon results.

According to my QVL it for sure is a Samsung, But its not telling me if its B-Die S-Die Etc

This tells me the Chip Brand but not the Die. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/.../Memory_QVL_for_AMD_Ryzen_3000_X570-4DIMM.pdf

So confused and im new at this trying to learn so my QVL is lying about its Samsung? Bc i have Hynix in my system now, i have ram the thiaphoon burner, plus on the QVL its listed as Hynix but does not tell me what die it is unless i run Thiaphoon burner.

I used B-Die Finder when I was hunting for RAM to buy, it says they aren't found or unknown to them:

I didnt realize this was going to be tricky, i need to see if this is on my QVL before i purchase it tho right?

QVL is what the motherboard manufacturer has tested *PRE RELEASE* of the motherboard as known to work. Very few motherboard makers will keep a current list after the boards release into the wild.

Anything else is luck of the draw depending on BIOS and CPU for some, while on my test rigs, I have yet to run across a set of ram that will not post, run XMP/DOCP, or overclock to some extent.

Take that information as you like.

Corsair cannot be depended on to stay with the same or similar ICs....this is why all of their kits have a Revision Number. When that number changes, it is highly likely the ICs have changed as well. That ties back to the comment of earlier kits were B-die while latter are Hynix.

Look for something G.Skill if you want to go by QVL, either that or check the like of Patriot and TEAM, as both use B-die widely across many of their kits.

What hard is trying to find Samsung B-Die for this board for 4x8.

This is for a Ryzen system? If so, I would look at 2X16 kits.
Off to look at the QVL and see what shakes.

Well i do different things on my system so i figured 32 Gigs would be sweet to have. Yes its Ryzen 3700X, i just want this ram so bad CMW32GX4M4C3600C18 but it has not been tested on the B-Die site yet and according to the QVL it is Samsung but not sure if its B-Die ETC. This Corsair has a lot of amazing ratings, it seems to be really good ram but not all the way sure.

What I am saying is to get the 32GB of density in a two stick kit rather than in four.

Is this system running with other RAM already? I mean why the hunt for B-die specifically? Do you plan on overclocking, or is this just because you heard B-die is best for AMD?

Reason I ask is that if you want to clock the ram, last I knew Micron had the fastest ICs out right now.

Its Running but my timings off.. My timings are 28 27 27 58 88, my xmp is throwing this memory off bc its only 2Dims and not 4Dim compatible, so i just hunting for ram thats 4Dim compatible bc the timings on the B-Die ram is very tight, according to this Ryzen Dram Calculator im using.. I also use the Thiaphoon burner.

What does this mean?

Wait, just looked through your older posts.... you have a kit of TOUGHRAM 4400 installed.....pretty sure that should be B-die.

As to the timings issues.....I would clear CMOS and reinstall or install the latest BIOS. Something isnt right with the way those timings are showing up in software.

My CPU will not bootup when ever i enable the xmp profile.

If you have the 4400 TOUGHRAM, there could be an IMC cap as to why it wont hit that speed.

Also, I tend to edit posts. Please go back and reread some of my earlier ones, as I feel you are quoting me while I was editing my posts....sorry.

what is IMC, yes it is the 4400, but i have 4Dims in it and this ram is only compatible for 2 dims and i did not know this at first.

The CPU has an Internal Memory Controller. Some are awesome on air cooling or water, some are not!

You are somewhat correct that high speed is easier to do on two sticks. Thing is, I think 4400MHz might be too much.

My thoughts would be to manually set all four sticks that you have to 3600MHz in speed, with timings like 16-18-18-38 and set CPU voltage to 1.35V
If that does not post, you may need to add some SOC volts, although my Hero always tends to overshoot what you need anyways on AUTO, so it should do its thing!

EDIT, I also see now you can run 4000MHz on all four sticks. Not sure what your Infinity Fabric is set to, but you wont gain much performance going past it with the RAM.

Enable the XMP/DOCP profile BUT then change the DRAM Frequency to 3600 and see if it will boot.
If it does you can try to tighten the timings Manually OR try setting the DRAM Frequency to 3733 or 3800 and see if it boots.

I found your specs here:
(1) DRAM calculator for Zen 3 | Page 5 | TechPowerUp Forums
But What EXACT RAM kit Model # are you currently using ?

PS
If you want need Samsung B-Die RAM G.Skill lists a few B Die 32 GB kits (CL16-16-16-36/CL14-15-15-35) as compatible with your MB/CPU:

I have not entered the timings i let the computer auto do it bc i am not sure what is safe to enter, I am going by a program called Dram Calculator and its only safe at 3800Mhz... Have u ever used Dram calculator is is pretty safe?

I would Not recommend you use the timings exactly as stated in the DRAM Calculator.
They tend to be a good starting point But don't always work.

Ok, what timings, exactly should i use for this ram Thermaltake i have 4x8. what timings do u think i should try? at 3800 to play it safe?

That's what I put earlier. Should give you a good place to start while eliminating as many variables as possible while trying it.

I'm guessing it might only work at 3600 because you have 4 stick and not 2.
So try Setting DOCP profile and Change the DRAM Frequency to 3600 and see if it even boots with those loose timing and then you can work to get them tighter.

What program do u use, r do u just know this, i dont know any of this at all so i am trying to figure out the safe point where i wont crash my system.. No burn any parts up.. If u know this on ur own u are very amazing!!!

I do believe his toughram will try to post with odd timings.

I test memory as part of my day gig.

Ok so u use the Dram Calculator for a starter and enter the timings it give u just to see if it post then u start going down on the timings from there? so it puts u at 18 18 18 39 so u may bring it down to 17 17 17 17 40 r something like that?
