You can get it to overclock to 3600Mhz?! That’s impressive!! Did you have to loosen the timings?

Nope. And all I did was used the memory tryit in the BIOS.

If I remember correctly samsung b dies are best for overclocking so it's no wonder.
Not all Samsung B Dies are made same. I have a kit that is B Die alright, but does not go past 3200C16. It was originally rated for 3000C15.
I have tested around 50+ different kits in DDR4 with Zen+, Zen2 and Zen3 on B450, B550 and X570 boards.
But if originally rated for C14, then this kit is the better B die. Since it is 32G kit, most likely dual rank too.
Fact that it does 3600C14, means this is simply the 'best of the best of the best'. You simply can not get anything better than this.
Even though the market for extreme high end DDR4 RAM kits is niche (Mainly Ryzen 3000 benefits the most, 5000 sees diminishing gains), for the price, I feel it is pretty good.
Micron E die are the next best thing, I currently run a kit for 3800C15 with 1:1 for Infinity fabric, for my 5900X on X570. I purchased that 2x16GB kit for around 8000 from TheItDepot (new).

True, i had a similar kit earlier, it would not go beyond 3200mhz on auto. Did not attempt manually overclocking it. Maybe sometimes motherboard too matters. Will try this ram on x570 taichi,
Lets see where it goes.

Mainly correct about everything except ZEN 3 aka 5000 series benefits the most from good B-die has they can do well over 4000 CL14/15 or higher.
The sweet spot is 3800 CL14 or 3800 CL15 for a daily gaming setup on ZEN 3. Something many 3000 series CPU will struggle with.

I have tried multiple kits with both, but the difference in performance for tighter timings/faster frequency is much more in 3000 series, 5000 series sees smaller gaps when we step up frequencies or tighten the timings.
This is because of the architectural improvements and FCLK being more forgiving on Zen3.

Corsair 3200 c16 performance almost equal to these g.skill rams, will post details
