Thought it was usually recommended to use paired sticks since sometimes buying from different batches can cause issues with stability when trying to use xmp/expo

Though maybe that's outdated advice and newer stuff plays better together.

From what I've heard, this advice has gotten more relevant with DDR5 rather than less, to the point that CAMM2 modules just bundle both "sticks" onto one package. That's probably also a packaging design choice, to be fair.
