I just had some G Skillz DDR4 3200CL16 2x8GB go bad. Sticks had caused problems before. I lowered the clocks to 2133 and then it passed when I had instabilities before, but when they came back nothing changed it. Degredation I guess? Def odd for RAM, but maybe bad batch. Mine were made 2018 Sep.

Do clean the contacts and reseat to be sure.

But about a month ago I did the RMA form, had to email them to remind them to send me the info, got the RMA info, sent it in, and a week or so later they sent me back newly manufactured identical RAM sticks new in box.

There’s absolutely no info when you send it in till when you get it back, but they did send the replacement. You will be without RAM for a bit. They did not want an invoice since its lifetime babyyy
