NOT b-die! Changed (unlisted) version number but same model number
NOT Samsung b-die. This listing is for version 5.xx. Timings are 15-17-18-35, manufacturer is SK Hynix and these were binned as m-die. This is NOT 15-15-15-34, like the version 4.xx. And they deceptively listed “Corsair” under manufacturer code, I had to do a ridiculous amount of work to figure out why I couldn’t get tighter timings to POST when the model number is listed under my mobo’s manufacturer QVL list as Samsung b-die. Apparently they kept the same model number and CAS latency as the old version 4 (which was Samsung b-die with 15-15-15-34 timings) but they used different a different die entirely for the version 5.xx, Hynix. And they did this without changing the model number. This should be illegal, it’s intentionally deceptive. I returned these DIMMs for a full refund and ordered Team Group’s Dark Pro 3200mhz with 14-14-14-31 timings, which actually is Samsung b-die, and overclocks (or uses the same clock speed with much tighter timings) exponentially better.
