Why is Patriot Viper Steel B-die so cheap?

[K404]

As title really The price difference is eyebrow-raising.

 

Do Patriot get the worst of the good parts or something?

There are rumours they try to bait retired ocers with this

Seriously, one point is that they were said to sell out B-die after they went for a lot of other ics real early for 3733 and above models, plus they are hit and miss even more than other vendors.

Thanks for the reply! Overclockers explicitly state b-die, so if Thaiphoon says otherwise, I feel like I could return it for being mis-sold.

 

Based on the timings

(4400 @ 19-19-19-39, 1.45v)

(4000 @ 19-19-19-39, 1.35v)

Should I be looking for CAS 18, even if tRCP and tRP are worse?

No - 4000c18-22 are Hynix 99% and even stuff like 4400 19-25 is confirmed hynix lately. 4400 19-19 should still be Samsung, on 4000c19 I am not sure but in theory also these should still be B-die.

Thankyou for the headsup

My first topic for years and there's a typo in the title *sigh* At least i'm consistent!

 

Please can a mod edit it?

 

Edit: Thankyou
