curiously your mb support list doesn't have 16gb - https://download.gigabyte.com/FileL...97-d3h.pdf?v=25ad8af5acb50d93bda456668ab7ffcc

Crucial show 1 16gb set - https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/gigabyte/ga-h97-d3h
shows it can support up to 32gb which makes sense.
I can't see MB listed on Corsair website.

Something tells me with it being that old of a platform, it being DDR3, and most importantly it being a budget board, the QVL is listing supported/tested single sticks rather than kits.

It then states up to 32GB of RAM total support, and I haven't read too deep into it's specs, but I am going to take an assumption guess that it doesn't support more than 8GB per slot with four slots for up to the 32GB support it claims.

I did see 32gb on other sites, its got 4 slots, so it can do it.
the crucial set that is 16gb is 2 x 8gb. - https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr3/ct2k102464bd160b/ct7348548
I wouldn't buy 2 sets and expect them to work together
