Now I need to take a loan in order to afford 32gb for replacement thanks to the ai bros hoarding all the chips…

Tried on three different PCs, both Intel and AMD, both sticks are damaged, somehow

    If you haven’t yet, I would try disabling the XMPP/DOCP profile to see if that passes a test. This will tell you if the RAM is just dead or if it’s degraded a bit and can’t hit the same speeds as it did before. If it does pass, then re-enable that profile and try downclocking or loosening the timings a bit to see if that’ll work.

    Failing that, you could try increasing the voltage slightly (like +0.05V, I wouldn’t go above 1.4V), but I’d be careful on this front to not cause anymore damage.

    Sucks that this happened right now, but IMO it’d be better to sacrifice a slight hit in performance than to buy RAM by itself at these premiums.
