Question 3200mhz cl16 (not b-die) vs 3000mhz cl14 (b-die) ram

Hi, I am stuck now in the ram part where I have chosen the Trident Z rgb 16gb (2x8gb). But since I heard about b-die, I found 2 choices for b-die in trident z rgb: the 3200mhz cl14, but costs 170€ and I can't afford that and the 3000mhz cl14 (130€). So, what is better: HIGHER FREQUENCY WITH WORSE LATENCY AND NOT B-DIE (3200mhz cl16 model) or LOWER FREQUENCY WITH BETTER LATENCY AND B-DIE (3000mhz cl14 model)??? I will use it probably on ryzen 7 2700 and on x470. I fon't know a lot for overclock but I would like my ram running at 3000mhz (or 3200). What is better???

I would go with the lower frequency 3000MHz lower latency cl14 Samsung B-Die. it Will perform as good as higher frequency 3200MHz higher latency cl16

Ok, thank you a lot! I was thinking of that too because I am not sure about the overclocking ram. How can I set the ram to 3000mhz, because I think it is not set by default. Any thoughts?
