Hi,
I just set up this configuration:
MOBO: Aorus Master z390 (with latest BIOS)
CPU: i9 9900K
Memory: G.Skill trident (F4-4133C19 D-16GTZR), 2x 8GB
The problem appears when I enable XMP for the RAM; the system becomes unstable and fails stress tests (using aida64 or OCCT).
I’ve looked at the MOBO compatibility list and found the same RAM type, but 4x 8GB instead of the 2x I installed. Could this be the reason for the instability? Would buying two more units fix it?
Thanks for your advice.

I don't suggest combining various memory batches. The clock speeds for this RAM are poor. If you're planning a 32gb build, consider getting the oneS model that works well instead. F4-4133C17Q-32GTZR offers better timings and is listed higher on the quality list.

No I don't think it will as each kit is matched separately
similarly luckless
This guy switched to an Asus board? I think.
Their convo doesn't mention any results though.

Are they really the same kind of RAM? One set has two, the other four... I didn't realize there were any other distinctions.

The silicon nanoscopic differences during doping likely lead to problems, as it suggests experimental methods or attempts to exceed limits, resulting in inconsistent quality memory modules grouped together. Matching similar nanoscale defects helps identify compatible pairs. Purchasing matched pairs or sets ensures compatibility, while mismatched combinations are not validated in production.
