Here's an article discussing memory timings and single versus dual rank.

Yes, it's not a price value and it's diminishing returns. But, it's fun, and you can squeeze 15-30% additional performance (ymmv depending on game or productivity task). It's really just about trying to push it as hard as you can.
B-die overclocks extremely well, and scales with voltage up to 1.5V dram voltage. Anyone who has tried OC'ing cheaper RAM realizes how little they can squeeze out of those. It's like banging your head against the wall. B die is a fun pain, like a puzzle to solve.
If you really want a very high freq RAM, crucial/micron e die or some hynix cjr will be a more cost effective solution.
It's your build, hotrod it where you'd like.

I'm looking at this complete b-die list here:
https://www.hardwarelux
That item doesn't appear to be B-Die. There are limited B-die Corsair Dominator 32GB kits, and more in 16GB kits. For 32GB, this is what is listed:
I see two instances of Dominators used in one Google sheet, but in the Zen+ tab, and these were CMD32GX4M2C3200C14T and CMD32GX4M2B3466C16
Otherwise I found multiple non-Dominator kits in the google docs, mostly non B-die and not in the tops of the lists except for a few that were B-die. If it's B-Die, you should be good. It depends on patience and proper validation of results (no shortcuts, and use the proper stress test tools, not memtest86).
