Was it 3600MHz? These are decent timings as well. This is not a bad deal.

I still keep waiting for the 32gb b die version of that kit to go for a good price, but people keep selling newegg out on it for $265-$285, which gives Newegg no reason to put it on a good sale! I don't get why people scoop them up at almost $300 when the non-samsung 32gb kit is $160. I could see it being worth $50 more or maybe even $75, but $100+ for the same speed and latency and size?

Sometimes Newegg gives 15-20% off ALL g.skill, as they did for all corsair recently... If they'd hurry and do that I'd scoop up the b die as it would then be barely over $200.

B-die are one of the best memory, price are usually high, but in my opinion, the reason to get B-die kits is for OC, if the kits frequency are already pretty high, just get other type memory instead

that is why I was thinking of getting the 3600 kit that isn't b die and selling my 3200 b die kit... because I'd rather get 3600 speed without having to manually OC the kit. I don't know, though, since my 3200 one is b die, maybe I could OC it to 3600 cl16?

just would "rather" use a kit where I can have it automatically do it. I've never built and also am worried that the RAM would end up unstable, but me not realize it's causing issues.

My kit is cl15, so since ryzen builds' "gear down" forces latencies to be even, I guess it would just run it at 16? Which is VERY annoying because I bought the kit for MUCH more money than cl16 kits last year, thinking the better latency would be good... not knowing of the issues with odd number latencies.

FINALLY Newegg sold out of my kit I was talking about above and it looks doubtful to come ins tock again, so I bet I could eventually sell it for enough to make it where I won't be out too much extra if I go ahead and buy the other b die kit soon. When Newegg had my kit still in stock it was only freakin $190 so it was keeping me from being able to sell it at any decent price. I may gamble now OR I could of course gamble on the non-b0die 3600 kit and be out even less then... but it's 16-19-19 so even with the faster 3600 speed I'm not sure if it would be faster, due to those last timings there being so high.
