I recently acquired a second set of 2x16GB RAM modules, but it’s leading to system instability after some time. Current specs: *mb: asus prime z790-p wifi* *cpu: intel i9 13900K* *original RAM kit: corsair ddr5 2x16gb 5600mt/s 36-36-36-76 ver 4.43.02 CMK32GX5M2B5600c36* *second RAM kit: corsair ddr5 2x16gb 5600mt/s 36-36-36-76 ver 5.33.01 CMK32GX5M2B5600C36 I’ve noticed several things: * BIOS lists all four sticks, none disabled * BIOS displays distinct tRFC1, tRFC2, tRFCSB for each pair * BIOS AI overclock tuner activates XMP 1 * BIOS sets DRAM frequency to DDR5-5600MHz * BIOS config VVD/VVDQ at 1.25000 (others auto) * Memory tests on original sticks (stuck in a2 & b2) completed without issues, but new sticks (a1 & b1) froze and BSOD occurred during startup * After restarting, PC freezes at boot to run the test again * Original sticks tested in a2 & b2 slots: no errors * New sticks tested in a2 & b2 slots: no errors * Upon booting Windows, all 64GB appear, but when I start loading data into memory it triggers BSOD * Swapping pairs so originals go to a1 & b1, new sticks to a2 & b2 makes the POST screen indicate safe mode with a total memory of 65536mb (ddr5-3600) – this value seems unusual Is there anything I’m overlooking or doing incorrectly to unlock the full 64GB?

Four dimms consistently posed a greater challenge for the IMC than two dimms. You might need to operate at a slower speed bin. eG 5400/5200/5000 can serve as a TEST case to verify stability in that environment. That’s what I’d advise after completing all the previous steps. Consider XMP, but choose a lower speed. Alternatively, use Non-XMP at a very low speed (just for testing) and observe if the system still triggers a BSOD quickly. If you didn’t specify lower speed bins, I’d opt for one and repeat the memory tests.

Four dimmers combined with RAM in various configurations. Several kits exist, each using a different MIC. 3.xx refers to Micron, while 4.xx is Samsung. They won't function well together. For a 64GB setup, consider a 2x32GB kit instead.
