The manual states, "available" memory configuration matrix. I read that as available when we shipped it. If all four are matching, my guess is it should work. Hopefully, another R5 user can post.
You keep pasting the same post for memory from the manual but never reference SR or DR. What most of us are trying to do is ensure the unit stay stable and there isn't any information regarding using SR or DR memory or what happens if you add a pair of DR memory to the existing pair of SR memory.
Though the it's indicated the R5 only uses up to Up to 2400 MHz on the memory; is it possible to add higher.
Are you required to add the same MHz as what is already in the machine.
These are the questions people are looking to have answered. This is a gaming machine. Recommending an OEM/Manufacture brands of memory that isn't available to a consumer since it's usually renamed also doesn't do much good.
So could you offer some specifics on actual options to match the matrix that was in the original post. That would be helpful.

Yes, you can install four 4gb DIMMs.
1. Do you mean Single-Rate and Dual-Rate? If so, you might want to spell that out. Plus, those terms are not applied here. It's Single-Channel and Dual-Channel.
2. Yes, Dual-Channel is better. Each of the TWO Memory-Banks uses two of the DIMM slots. For Dual-Channel operation, both DIMMs should match EXACTLY.
3. Yes, but it will only run at 2400mhz. Depending on capabilities of all DIMMs installed, maybe higher with Over-Clocking
4. I would. Do you want to risk stability for a bit more performance?
5. Agreed. Very hard to match OEM ram DIMMs in Retail. You will have to jump to other Bank or just start over.
If you search forum a bit, this has all been covered in detail.

I tried to put these in my Aurora R5 and they don't work?...
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1193717-REG/crucial_ct16g4rfd824a_16gb_rdimm_ddr4_pc4_2400.html
I just realized they are RDIMM instead of UDIMM... Is that why?
Thank You
