Hey everyone! I'm currently using 2x 8GB DDR4-2133 RAM sticks and I've just bought 2x 16GB DDR4-3200 sticks. I'm curious if I can just add the new RAM sticks to my existing ones. Will the different speeds mix okay, or will there be issues? My motherboard supports 3200, so I'm not sure why I originally went for 2133. Thanks for the help!

You can definitely install both types, but keep in mind that everything will run at the slower DDR4-2133 speed unless you manually overclock. There's even a chance they might not work together at all, which can happen sometimes. So, unless you absolutely need the extra RAM, it might be better to stick with the faster 3200 sticks.
Thanks a lot! I don't actually need the extra capacity, just wanted to see if I could use what I have. I think I'll go with just the 3200.
