I was wondering whether this problem was resolved and if it was due to combining two separate 8GB sticks, as I am considering of doing the same thing. I know that only kits are guaranteed to work perfectly together, but I can get a much better price for buying the two separate sticks.

The cost savings won't look as appealing after you add in the price of all those bottles of Aspirin (or vodka).
DDR4 has evolved a little since
Raja's thread, and I think (but Chino may disagree) that you can get away with mixed DDR4 kits if they're limited to purely 1.2V JEDEC standard. But populating more than one single-rank DIMM per channel and/or DIMMs operating at extreme frequencies (higher than DDR4-2400) will strain the iMC in your Haswell-E (and motherboard) and will force you to endure much *very* finicky timing/latency/voltage tweaking just to get your system running stable - you wouldn't likely be able to even run the DDR4 at rated XMP unless you win the silicon lottery (on the processor and motherboard and every DDR4 stick) and have some luck to spare.
