I just had an 8GB stick of DDR4 fail on me and it was painful to replace. Not least because I couldn’t get a matching stick from the same manufacturer of the original 2x8GB pair that I had, so I now have mismatched sticks from different manufacturers. At least they are both the same speed and latency, and dual channel seems to work fine under memtest86+.
The second worst part after the price was that I got sent an RGB stick when I ordered non-RGB and now I feel like I’m at a 24/7 disco.

See if you can disable the RGB with OpenRGB :)
