I didn't try another kit because both sticks exhibited the same issue when installed on their own. The odds of having two bad sticks is really low. When I was looking at specs back then they didn't have anything I could find for speeds at 1.2V.

Regardless it doesn't matter. When using OEM parts/computers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc, the buyer needs to get RAM with JEDEC ratings that match the motherboard/CPU if they want full speed/compatibility. If that RAM has both XMP and JEDEC ratings, great.

I don't disagree. Was simply trying to parse out what you had originally meant by "gaming RAM", which was a term I had never heard before, outside of jokes about RGB. But now that we've talked it out, I agree that confirming that a kit has a JEDEC profile that suits one's needs is important if it's going to be paired with an extremely basic motherboard
