RAM Comparison

Is there anything out there where i can compare 2 types of ram?

I'm looking at 2x16Gb 3600Mhz+ CL16 kits, the two I am looking at are a Crucial and Kingston but don't seem to be able to find any real-world tests..

FWIW, I am running a 5800x on an Aorus x570 iTX board, Windows 11, just in case anyone has any other suggestions.

There really aren't much differences between similar memories.
But if it's Crucial Ballistix kit would rather trust those than Kingstons.
Crucial is memory chip maker Micron's consumer brand and likely used Micron rev-Es are basically the second best DDR4 chips after Samsung B-die.

Is there a way to find out what die they're using?

Without taking heatspreaders out from DIMM and reading markings on chips there's no sure way.
But unlike other consumer/retail market memory brands Crucial has direct access to DRAM maker and hence is extremely unlikely to go swapping DRAM chips.
