Yes, RAM sets are generally fine if the PC passes the stress test.

I'm thinking about combining two identical RAM modules from the same brand, model, and specifications. Some warn this might lead to compatibility issues. Could this cause silent data loss? For example, losing files without any obvious signs or system crashes. After installing, I'll run stress tests over several days. If the PC remains operational afterward, it's likely the RAM works together. The RAMs are DDR3, 16GB each, totaling 32GB. The model is CML16GX3M2A1600C10.
Should I proceed or hold off? I know the RAM won’t work if the modules aren’t compatible, but I’m concerned about passing a stress test yet still failing when used regularly. If I keep the PC running continuously, it might be better to avoid it until I’m sure everything is stable.
