Samsung is the only one which is overclocking past ~3600 in higher density modules (I mean like about every chip). Hynix is in mass sales in kits up to ~3333 and depends on luck will make 3600+ but at more relaxed timings ... or will stuck at 3200 or even below. Micron is in kits up to 3000. Actually I think that only Corsair is using Micron in some 3000 kits. Micron in general is overclocking between 2800 and 3200 but if you won't have luck then quad channel kit can have modules between 2666 and 3200.
Simply Samsung is in nearly every new 3466+ kit. On the other hand cost more so is mainly in more expensive series.
Hynix is in many cheaper kits and everywhere where can replace Samsung in lower price. Everything between 2133 and 3200.
Micron is in all cheaper series and everything with specification the same as Hynix/Samsung. Can be in 2133-2666 kits at the same main timings as other IC.
Samsung can run at tight timings so when you see kits at 14-14-14 or 15-15-15 above 3000 then it's almost sure there is samsung IC.
Hynix is in kits at more relaxed timings but here is a catch. Brands like Corsair sell most their kits at the same SPD/XMP regardless of used IC so when is shortage then they can replace it with something else. 3000 C15/16 kits can be based on Samsung, Hynix and Micron. 3200-3400 16-18-18 kits can be based on Hynix or Samsung. However as I said before, all new 3600+ kits will be only Samsung.
Even if you check available IC then there is no big choice. Every brand has 2-3 IC on the consumer market. Even in ECC modules are the same IC just with additional chip for error correction. So Hynix will be almost only AFR/MFR ( AFR supposed to be better but there is no clear rule ), Micron has maybe 3 versions of D9 and all OC about the same and Samsung has B/C/D but I haven't seen anything but B die in all kits in this year. D was in lower density kits so can find it in 4GB single rank or 8GB dual rank modules.
Yes, enabling the training was the only way I could get past 3200.
Well, I actually got this RAM to do 4200 in quad... but it's not stable in a lot of the benchmarks. Maybe if I wanted to use more voltage, I haven't gone past 1.425v yet, and/or loosen timings more.
I will probably play some with memory this weekend as I have to finish review. But it clearly shows that there is no big difference between the cheapest and the most expensive X299 boards except additional features ( which most users are not using ). TUF2 cost 1/2 of higher ROG and OC about the same. The only difference will be probably only in CPU overclocking on LN2 as TUF2 may have some issues to keep stable clock at really high voltage.
