It’s feasible for a motherboard with dual-channel memory and four RAM slots to run two RAM modules at full speed while the other two operate at a reduced speed. Using a 1212 configuration with matching speeds on each slot is definitely achievable.

The memory will slow down the least among all sticks. Ensure you have sticks that match each other in channels. Match Channel one with Slots A1 and B1, placing the corresponding sticks there. Check the motherboard guide to identify the slot assignments.
