The setup question is clear, I currently have two TridentZ RGB DDR4 8GB modules in my system. I'm considering adding more RAM, specifically the Corsair LPX Vengeance model. With the current prices, I'm thinking about purchasing it to enhance performance. At present, running both devices in dual-channel mode should be manageable. Thank you for your assistance! Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and a great holiday season.

It's a bit unclear... Perhaps by accident. Otherwise, what does Google say about mixing RAM sizes? Yes, it's possible, but it might not be ideal for performance. It's best to use RAM from the same manufacturer, size, and frequency. They should handle things consistently—speed, performance, etc.—so matching them is ideal. You can check CL 16/18 and speeds around 3200 MHz. If they don<|pad|>, it could affect your dual-channel setup.

Using mixing kits in any form—even identical ones—can cause XMP profiles to behave unpredictably at high frequencies like 3200MHz. Manual timing adjustments might not ensure proper operation, and they won’t function correctly at higher speeds. They still perform adequately at lower frequencies. That’s why people don’t search for this information online.
