I've been using two sticks in dual channel for a whole year: 2 x 8 GB DDR4 2933MHz CL15 (Corsair Vengeance Low Profile). My CPU is 2700X and the motherboard is Gigabyte X370. I previously wrote a thread about a year ago when I couldn't run it at 3200MHz CL16. The system crashes to blue screen as soon as I press desktop, sometimes even before. Recently, I needed more RAM and ordered another pair from Corsair (same model). I installed them and tried running the setup again. I set them back to factory settings at 3200MHz CL16 and have been stable for about 15 minutes without any issues. I also ran Cinebench without any crashes or blue screens. This is significantly better than what I experienced before. I plan to test the stability further. Have anyone else faced similar problems? I was considering getting a new board if these sticks still didn't work, but they're now performing well.

Typically it's the opposite. Individuals prefer handling two sticks over four.

It didn’t work as expected. The system couldn’t complete the AIDA stability check, and it crashed during the second Time Spy test. I ended up resetting it to version 2933. It might be time to get a new board soon.
