I currently possess 16 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance RAM using dual-channel, and I’m considering swapping it for some from Timtec. The Corsair model runs at 3600 MHz while the Timtec version is around 2133 MHz. You mentioned you have two sticks—one 16 GB and another 8 GB. I’ve attached photos of both, along with all the details about each type of RAM.

Do you require more than 16GB? If not, omit them. Otherwise, purchase a compatible pair to your current setup. These are slower and don't justify the effort. Dispose of them, acquire additional Corsair.

Yes, you're able to do it. However, performance will be limited to the pace of the Timetec Kit.

Placing the timetec memory on your PC can lower your 3600mhz to 2133, reducing performance from the higher frequency but keeping the benefits of RAM. If you have an older 8/9th generation Intel CPU, it doesn’t really matter. You can mix and match RAM, though compatibility isn’t guaranteed—this might cause stability problems, prevent booting, or even work well if everything aligns. Since you already have RAM, it’s worth testing, but personally I’d prefer a better match rather than risking issues.
