Now I need to take a loan in order to afford 32gb for replacement thanks to the ai bros hoarding all the chips...

Tried on three different PCs, both Intel and AMD, both sticks are damaged, somehow

In fact they should try. Due to dual/quad mode the only thing testing multiple sticks at once will tell you is if any of the sticks have failed. Only going one by one will tell you which ones or how many, otherwise you'll have red herrings

    Yeh, the 16/32 in the screenshot and that 2 sticks are dead suggests they have 4x 8gb sticks, and lends credence that one channel is being messed with.
    They said they tested the ram on multiple systems, but they might have just thrown both "dead" sticks in there at the same time - leading to a similar failure mode as they are both on the same channel.

    I bet 1 stick is dead, and they could probably get away with 24gb of ram in a 3/2 channel distribution
