I'm looking into a build where two 4x4GB kits is used. It's acting up, not always booting correctly and occasional freeze. Anyway, I'm not after tips of how to troubleshoot but I'm interested in how to tell from the sticks, which ones comes from the same kit as they probably got mixed up?
Some kits, like from Corsair have a number on every stick so you can tell if it's in a series or not (two sticks might be labeled as "10023096" and "10023097", so you know they're a lovely couple). These sticks from Kingston however, is, for me atleast, impossible to tell.
The model for both kits is "HX426C15FBK4/16".
The system is stable when I only have 4 sticks in quad-channel, so I'm assuming these two kits don't play nice, so it looks like we'll have to settle for "only" 16GB and I want it to be as correct as possible.
