Subject: Memory Issue Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7

So I've been trying to figure out my RAM issue for the past month.
First some specs:
CPU: i7-6800k
PSU: EVGA Nova G2 850w
Motherboard: Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 Bios 1.40
RAM Try #1: Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3000 (PC4-24000) C15 for DDR4 Systems - Blue LED PC Memory (CMU32GX4M4C3000C15B)
RAM Try #2: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (4x8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory F4-3200C16Q-32GTZB
This is my 2nd board after I RMA the first board for the same problem.
At first, the system booted up perfectly fine with the Corsair Vengeance ram. All 4 sticks were recognized and no issues were found. A week later, the system failed to boot up unless I removed the ram from C1.
I tried various things such as raising the system agent voltage, increasing ram voltage, and disabling all overclocks. I also tried various ddr4 speeds, 2133, 2400, 2600 - 3000. None worked, so I RMA-ed it.
On my second board, it booted up fine with no issues, but a few days later, I started getting a lot of BSODs and memory management errors. After a while, it stopped recognizing C1 again. This time, I thought it was because of my RAM so I bought a 2nd set of RAM, G.SKILL TridentZ.
Unfortunately the G.SKILL ram had the same behavior as the Corsair. I tried switching bios to 1.10, resetting cmos, switching back to bios 1.40. Nothing can get C1 to be recognized. I even took out the CPU and reseated it and made sure the color wasn't pressing hard on it.
One thing that was interesting... for a test, I put both corsair and G.Skill RAM together. 6 sticks were recognized but C1 and C2 were not recognized. The memory is detected in CPU-Z though, just not BIOS. Weird o.O.
Anyone have ideas to what else I can do?
