    Yeah. One of my sticks also failed, doesn’t boot with it in. Only 16GB is just not enough. And because I bought from a random ebay shop, I don’t have the original receipt.

      Mine booted but would cause system instability.

      I can get by with 16gb but hopefully I can RMA. GSkill is pretty good on RMA I’ve heard

        I wonder what would actually happen if you ran three sticks (assuming only one is bad). Would it dual channel 16 GB and single channel the other 8 GB? Does anyone know?

          I heard it slows performance either way, but since I bought the sticks as a set I have to mail in both for the warranty anyway
