    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
