It's feasible to combine different RAM kits from various brands. Your current setup uses Corsair and G.Skill, both offering similar performance in your configuration. You can run multiple kits simultaneously as long as they're compatible with your motherboard and system requirements. Switching between them during intensive tasks won't cause issues, though stability may depend on matching speeds and CAS latency. If you need higher performance for demanding work, consider investing in a larger kit later. Your current usage is high, so upgrading to a bigger capacity might be more practical than managing multiple kits.
It should work but I don't recommend it. Like you have heard it will use the slower of the speeds. But it is highly likely that the kits will not be compatible with each other and may cause crashing and bluescreens. You could have two identical ram kits, same speeds, manufacturer, and CL and still have issues. I always recommend to buy the amount and speed of memory you want/need in a kit rather than mix matching or buying separate kits. It's less risky and a full kit would be tested by the manufacturer to work together. If you want 32GB of ram buy a 32GB kit and sell the 16GB kit you have rather than mix matching kits or even buying a second of the same kit you already have.
They will function, yet performance and scheduling will decline further, surpassing the more basic model.
Alternative kits can be combined if you manage to make them function properly. All listed speeds are overclocked, so you’d need to adjust your RAM settings for stability. The only guaranteed speed and timing pair is the JEDEC standard for DDR4 (like 2133MHz CL15), though a 2400MHz option might exist but isn’t certain. Other choices aren’t guaranteed either, since the 3600 kit could support higher speeds like 3000MHz, but that might not match your existing setup. It’s probably better to stick with similar 3000 memory modules or replace them with faster ones.
