Micron E die vs Samsung B die for threadripper

[vorsgren]

I am looking at memory for a new threadripper system, and I have narrowed it down to these two.

Or 2x of these kits

So, is the b-die memory worth $100 more? Or should I just go with the ballistix? Is the b-die really that much better?

Note that in the future, I will likely overclock the ram, so consider that when giving recommendations.

No qualified opinion other than Samsung b die is outrageously priced. I cannot imagine it being worth the extra cost unless you are chasing benchmarks & synthetics.
Is there a way to reliably tell what memory is micron e die?

From what I have been reading, it sounds like Crucial memory with 'AES' in the model number is all micron e die.

It is definitely worth the investment if you're doing almost anything workstation related (especially video editing or 3d rendering). The OC capabilities for b-die is untouchable, which scales heavily with Ryzen CPU's.

If you're just gaming though, it most definitely is not worth the price.
