I'm looking to expand my RAM to 64GB, but I'm having trouble finding a matching kit. The only one I found is the Adata XPG Lanxter Blade, which is a 32GB kit (2x16) running at CL30 and 6000MHz. Right now, I'm using a similar kit that operates at CL42 and 5200MHz. My motherboard is a B760M A AX6 II. Will these two types work together, or is it risky?

Yes, they'll run together, but it will default to the slower speed. Mixing RAM is generally not a great idea because it can lead to performance issues. If you only care about running at 5200MHz CL42, it should work without causing system instability, but you're not getting the benefit of the faster RAM.
It’s better not to mix RAM kits if you can help it. Even if it works, you might face compatibility problems or other issues down the line. It's usually safer to stick to one kit if you want optimal performance.
So basically, it’s not dangerous to do it? I just want to avoid any potential crashes.
