     @retroedgetech@mstdn.starnix.network you mean independently of the other? yeah... although theyre both just 4gb and a different brand so that may cause issues...
     
     But if you can somehow figure out a way to get it working than that would be really great

     Have you tested each module separately?

     I'll put my z97 board on the bench soon. I have two 8GB modules in it now. Just need to find two more to test with.

     Hmm... I may be able to test that for you, as I have such a similar board. I'm confident you can run 32GB on that motherboard and processor combo.

     @retroedgetech@mstdn.starnix.network unfortunately, the i5-4590 only supports 2 ram channels. i should hopefully only need 24gb, but still

     That motherboard has four memory slots, so you should be able to use four 8GB PC3 (or PC3L) memory modules to get to 32GB, if that's your goal.

     That's a great platform. I have a Gigabyte z97 board and I really like it.

     How much memory do you have now?
