It will function, but you need to identify the traits of both sticks and test different settings. It's simpler to handle one stick at a time, choosing the less optimal timings each time both are used together. XMP is XMP, and you should always be able to push beyond it. Sometimes the improvement isn't significant. By the way, I've heard Corsairs XMP closely matches what the sticks can achieve. Their RGB RAM also has even smaller differences.
It's preferable to have two identical RAM modules. The ones you have seem different. I highly suggest purchasing two matching RAM units. It makes sense to buy double RAM in the same package. For dual-channel performance, you require two RAM sticks. A single 32 GB unit is no longer advisable.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Overclocking isn't impossible, but it does require some manual effort. Certain adjustments might ruin the process while others can strengthen your setup. Also, ensure you're using the most recent BIOS version. You'll likely need to rely on trial and error to find what works best.
I would recommend getting a RAM kit that's designed to run at its advertised speed from the start, rather than trying to improvise with mixed sticks of memory.
