This is what
Arcane Velocity was like.
I think it would be odd for this to work, but...

If the system runs fine with just one stick of RAM, and it runs fine with just one stick for BOTH sticks and there's no obvious dud, see if you can't kick the voltage up a very small amount in the system BIOS/UEFI setup. Like from 1.5V to no more than 1.51V. DDR3-1600 CL9 is a JEDEC spec, but depending on the DRAM batch, that might be right on the edge of stability. This would technically mean that the RAM was bad (not failed, just wrongly binned and unable to run at promised specs), but an extra hundredth of a volt is nothing, and if that makes it work, I'd just roll with it.
