I've a haswel-E built with an msi mb, & a 32 kit of 4x8, dual rank, 2666 cl16 ram sticks, Crucial ballistix Elite BLE8G4D26AFEA.16FAD Crucial - BLE8G4D26AFEA.16FAD 8GB 288pin DIMM DDR4 - Memory Module (compuram.biz) , BLE8G4D26AFEA.16FAD Crucial Gaming Memory (memory4less.com) , a while ago it started having errors "frequent bsods & gpu driver crashes" running with the 4 sticks, then for a while it ran relatively fine with 2 sticks, & now down to 1, msi's x99 MBs had a not so well known issue with ram seating, needing a huge force sometimes, but I'm not so sure it's the same issue this time, I ran memtest86 when it were two sticks & it reported no issues, so I think the 4 sticks are probably fine, & that it's the memory controller that's struggling.
I wanted to build a new pc with 5800x3d "on a budget, a ddr5 platform is too expensive", & was thinking of using those 4 sticks instead of buying a new one if they worked fine, I've two questions:
1-with the Infinity fabric to ram clock relation thing, would I get way worse performance than if I bought a bran new good ddr4 4000 or 3800 kit? the sticks are dual rank too btw according to cpu-z
2-is there any danger to placing those memories not knowing if they have any issues or not? in my current pc they never caused any component to die or anything?
