WTB DDR4 RAM (64/128GB) 3600MHz (B die preferred)

I need more RAM to simulate some network environments/labs on my PC.

Currently, I have following in my Ryzen (3950x) build:
F4-3600C16D-32GTZN (G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 32GB (2 * 16GB) DDR4 3600 MHz CL16-16-16-36 1.35V) -> it's the famous B-die. The idea was to add one more same kit later to make it 64GB. However, I can't find it at all, looked everywhere (offline - Nehru Place, online - Amazon, Primeabgb, mdcomputers, vendant etc.), been few months now.

Option 1 (add) - Its a long shot but if someone here has this exact same kit and willing to sell it (for upgrade or other reasons), I will happily buy. May pay a little premium as well.

Option 2 (replace) - I can sell my current DDR4 and buy a 128GB kit if someone is selling. low timings (CL16) and 3600MHz freq or better is preferred (not expecting B die due to availability issues so it can e or any other die) .

I dont' know what's going on with RAM availability lately but finding a good low timing kit in market seems royal PIA.
 
As far as I know, there are just 4 kits currently being sold that are 4x 32GB 3600MHz C16:

F4-3600C16Q-128GTZN
F4-3600C16Q-128GTZR
F4-3600C16Q-128GTRS
F4-3600C16Q-128GTRG

They're all G.Skill kits and they're at really high premium, starting at 61k for the Neo. By comparison, you can get 4 individual sticks of 32gb C18 at 3600MHz for 48k. If you still want them, you can mail and ask PrimeABGB to stock them with their next import shipment after prepayment.

A better option would be to find a motherboard with a modern memory topology, the Aorus B550 Pro V2 can mix and match different brand modules with XMP. You'll have flexible warranty options this way. I have almost one terabyte of DDR4 memory and apart two dual channel kits, they were all purchased as single sticks and they all work fine in dual channel mode with XMP across Ryzen 1000, 2000 and 5000 series.

Thank you for responding fast, appreciate your inputs. I will check with primeabgb on import options.

I spent a good amount (around 33.2K) in 2020 on "ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero AMD X570" when I built this. Will this board be good to handle suggested mix & match?

It should. I went down a rabbit hole of Memory Topology on Youtube and forgot to reply here. I know about the Aorus B550 V2 because I experimented with different kits and modules over the last year but I don't have any experience with Ryzen 3000 series. I have a 1700 on a X370 board that's happy with 4 mixed single modules at 2400 CL19, a 2700x on a B450 board that's stable with 3000 C16 and a 5900x on a B550 board with 3600 CL18. All at 1.2v, I haven't gotten around to tweaking them at 1.35v.
