Hi, I haven't been into tech for a while, so I had a question. My dual-channel setup was lacking RAM, so I upgraded to another stick. I tried to match the specs as closely as possible, but ended up with a CL15 instead of the original CL16. After installing the new one, it booted up, but the old CL16 was running at CL15 like the new one. I thought it should be switched around. The system works fine now, but I'm curious—will running the older stick at CL15 instead of CL16 cause any issues?

In the worst scenario you may face instability.
