    Don’t know what brand you’ve got but I had two 16GB sticks of G.Skill DDR4 go bad a few months back and their RMA process worked a treat.

    Wishing you success as well.

      GSkill yep. Should be good. I originally built in 2020 with 2x8gb and then in October 2024 I got another 2x8gb because it was only $35USD why not lol

      The exact same set is currently $135…

      And go figure the new sticks were the ones that failed.

        Just to be clear: are you trying to add the new set of two to the existing set? I.e., 4x8GB?

        That can sometimes cause problems due to timing variations between batches. Make sure to memtest each stick individually, to make sure that isn’t the issue.
