My friend unexpectedly received a second set of 2x16GB DDR5 RAM sticks from Amazon. I'm curious if there's any major problem with using all four sticks at the same time. While I know it's generally better to stick to two sticks, how noticeable is the performance difference? Should he just sell the extra RAM instead?

Using four sticks can sometimes lead to issues like bugs or even blue screens, especially if the motherboard struggles to manage the extra RAM. But if it doesn't work out, he can always revert to just using two sticks. It’s definitely worth a shot! Just be prepared to troubleshoot if things don’t go smoothly.
Is it okay to try four sticks and switch back to two if it doesn’t work?
