No, you cannot combine these two rams.

Hello, congratulations on your new gaming PC! You spent about $1100 on parts and used a 1050ti from your old machine. Your issue is that you bought a Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz for $80 with only 16GB of RAM. Now you're thinking about getting 32GB, possibly using some RAM deals. You're considering the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mh and wondering if it's safe to combine them right now. In the next few months, you plan to get another set of Corsair Vengeance for four units at once. Thanks!

Check your CL latency and confirm it aligns. You should be okay. I’d recommend a 3600Mhz CL at 16Gb/s since it’s more affordable and performs better than Corsair Vengeance Pro’s 3200MHz, then upgrade the remaining 3200Mhz Balistix sticks later.

Certainly they’re just a few dollars more, but the speeds vary, is that acceptable?

Automation should work, but adjust the BIOS settings. Ideally the RAM should operate at the lower-speed configuration. Do you have an AMD or Intel processor?

You own the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi MOB and an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. Your RAM is already boosted in the BIOS, but you only enabled the automatic overclocking feature without knowing its exact name.

DOP or XMP would help, plus it’s nice. You’d gain some extra speed with RAM, not a huge boost but enough. It doesn’t matter which path you choose—you’ll be okay.

It was indeed XMP. I’ll probably receive the Crucial Ballistic RGB 3600mhz. Should I adjust the speed to align with the 3200mhz models? Thanks for your assistance—I really value it!

Confirm manually if needed.

It should adjust automatically. I own 2400 and 2666 in my game, but when XMP is turned on, it only increases from 2100 to 2400, missing the full 2666.
