Hello. Yes, you can use memory modules with varying speeds as long as they match the overall system requirements. You don’t need all four modules at the same speed—just ensure each one meets the necessary specifications for your platform (AMD or Intel).

For DDR5 you generally want 2 sticks. Four sticks can be problematic, especially with mismatched RAM. It may work, but you might not be able to use XMP/DOCP/EXPO, meaning it would run at JEDEC speeds instead. Since you already own the RAM, no reason not to try, but it might take some tweaking to get it to work

Certainly, the voltage also varies.

Understood. The unit needing more clocks requires stronger voltage for stability. It seems fine at 1.35V during lower speeds like 6000 MT/s, but compatibility isn't assured when combined with other components. Using multiple DDR5 sticks is already challenging.
