I'm curious if I can take a 4x16GB RAM kit and split it into two separate 2x16GB kits for use in different systems. I know mixing RAM can lead to issues within a single system due to potential differences in manufacturing. However, if I have a kit with four modules that have consecutive serial numbers, can I safely separate them into two groups? For instance, could I place one pair in System A and the other in System B without running into compatibility problems?

Yeah, no problem splitting it like that! It shouldn't create any compatibility issues as long as you keep the specs the same, so go ahead and set it up!
Absolutely, you can split that RAM kit without any issues! As long as the RAM speed, timing, and voltage are the same, it should work just fine. The RAM modules don’t communicate with each other to check if they’re from the same kit or not, so it’s really not a problem at all.
No worries! You don't even need matching serial numbers when splitting up the kit. Just be aware that if one module fails during the warranty period, the manufacturer will require all four modules to be sent back. Just something to mention to the other system's owner.
