Ok guys need help, this two tips of memorys was with a good reviews but different prices and different manufactures Hynix and Samsung that was I know, also I know that samsung is better for overclocking better quality bla bla etc...
I have question f4-3600c16d-16gvkc OR f4-3600c16d-16gtzn?
What is best price performace ram kit for AMD platform?
p.s. I know that f4-3600c16d-16gtzn is with samsung b-die and betther timings 16 16 16 16 but it is expencive then f4-3600c16d-16gvkc Hynix 16 19 19 19, is it worth to go with expencive one? does it big difference in performace (gaming fps)?
p.p.s. my rig: b450 tomahawk max with r5 3600x 2X8gb kingstone hyperx 3000mhz cl15 17 17 17, gtx 1060 G1 gaming 6gb
 
I'd only suggest the Samsung b-die if you were going to overclock the ram. If you are going to leave stock settings I doubt there's any substantial performance difference. Have you run Thaiphoon burner on your existing ram to see what chips it uses? Maybe it's overclockable enough using Dram Calculator to avoid purchasing new ram at all.

nope bro hynix its mine ram kit and max I can put its 3000 mhz with little timing correct but nope it's getting unstable that's why I need out of box xmp and I don't want to overclock just xmp and done... that's why I ask is it be a big difference between this two kits if I put only on xmp profiles?
