Lots of GB of stable RAM for i7 2600k (1333 DDR3, 2 channels)?

I'm going to upgrade the processor, before that I had an i7 920 three-channel and I had 12gb Corsair (6x2gb). Now I'm going to take the latest 2600k, I wanted to put 24GB (AfterEffects, Editing, and other graphics), but bad luck - there is dual-channel memory.
Therefore, I ask for advice - which memory is the most stable now (I heard that some companies among knowledgeable people are blacklisted, and I myself don’t have a better opinion about Corsair after bsods), while 4 slots can fit from 16GB (maybe even 32GB )?

I always put the cheapest memory from Kingston, in particular on this i7 2600k I have KVR1333D3N9K2/8G.
There are two main reasons, this is the compatibility of this memory, the cheapest kingston modules are prescribed for compatibility with almost all motherboards, the second is the speed of operation is not much lower than that of overclocked corsairs and jwp? the third one is buggy memory with overclocked frequencies and additional heatsinks, everything bought older than two years is broken, a very unpleasant experience with corsair and ocz, their memory is buggy every time in different ways, sometimes bsodes, sometimes it doesn’t load, and because of this I I switched to cheap dice from Kingston, but I always take the thickest modules and clog all the memory connectors.

There are no memory problems with Hyundai, Kingston, Nanya.

Do not care what to take, if it's not overclocker's memory. This is where she has problems.

I always believed that you can trust those who make memory themselves - for example, micron - they make chips themselves and make strips from these chips themselves.
I once played enough with memory and put corsair on my black list, this is my IMHO, I don’t want to argue about it. I also don’t trust OCZ - a new promoted brand, they take it by the label, in fact, a few bsod, again IMHO, I don’t insist, but I won’t take it.
Now, after long dances with a tambourine around the memory, everything works like clockwork, and even in overclock I tried the crucial ballistix memory (crucial is a subsidiary of micron). And it costs less and in fact it turns out better than the more expensive corsair, which only fell into a blue screen at standard frequencies.

My 2600k works with two 4-gig Hyundai - everything is fine

Not dual-channel memory, but a dual-channel memory controller. Memory as it was DDR3, and remains.
People praise Transcend/JetRam. Cheap and cheerful. But the last time I took G.Skill.

From my own experience, I can say that for three years on office machines (almost 50 computers) there was not a single problem. Memory everywhere either Kingston or Samsung.
