So unlucky me got a 16GB DDR4 3600Mhz cas 18 Trident Z C-die Ram that can not handle 1.35v(XMP).After days of trying different settings and many posts later I've managed to stabilize them at 1.30v 18-22-22-44.

I'm about to upgrade to 32GB ram but im trying to save some money at the same time. My question is if i get an other 16GB (so that i have 4x8GB) and they work like they are supposed to will they have trouble booting with my current settings? (for the faulty ram i already have) or should i grab 2x16GB?

What cpu?

 

Usually 4 sticks is WAY harder to get running at full speed than just 2. The fact you are already struggling with 2 makes me want to know the cpu before advizing anything.

Yea trust me on this one. I've spent multiple days trying to get them stable. I've tried everything but the C-die just doesn't like the voltage. I've tried ram without oc, ive updated bios to latest version i even played with the SoC voltages and manually added the timings. For now they work at their factory clocks but voltage needs to be at 1.30 otherwise i get random game crashes or even random freezes. Pc wont even boot with just enabling XMP btw.

Yeah just get a kit of 32 with it being 16x2 and send this one back/for warranty
