Aurora R16, Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 2x32GB, compatibility issues
System: R16 with Core i7 and GEFORCE RTX 4060
When i use 2 bars of these RAM, the system gives me orange and white flashes. When i use only one bar, everything is fine. Is it a compatibility problem?

You can visit FAQ Alienware desktop and look up compatible RAM for your system https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/alienware-desktops/faq-alienware-desktops/647f9a6cf4ccf8a8dee1095a

Did you check both sticks in single use? did you check single stick use in both slots?
which dominator did you get?
Did you clear cmos after swapping sticks?
dominators are usually "b-die" grade stuff, and so far didnt have anything not working from corsair that had quality dies in it.
but without ram specs or settings used, its hard to tell.

Yes, i did all that, but finally gave up and sent it back to repair. Sold the Dominators too.

Great, i'll take a look. Sold the Dominators. When it comes back from repair, i'll see what i can put in it and i will post the results if everything works fine. Who knows, i might help someone looking to upgrade.

@Claudio68HD
next time (unless you plan on manually ocing/tuning ram), dont waste money on Dominators.
its more important to "know" what dies are being used.
e.g. for ddr 4 basically all their 3600C14/4000C20 kits were b-die (samsung) or equivalent other brand, no matter the model, so you got the same perf with cheaper vengeance/lpx.
last few years corsair decided to swap dies while keeping model nbr on vengeance modules, so i would look for lpx.
