Your 2x8 kit at 3000MHz fits within your motherboard's memory limit. You can upgrade to a 2x16 kit without exceeding the speed, as long as you use memory sticks with matching capacities.

Combining memory can lead to problems, but generally it's acceptable. A 3000MHz rate isn't too fast, so as long as your CPU doesn't have a poor memory controller (like an older Ryzen model), it should work fine.

9900K is a solid memory controller, it should handle 3000MHz fine. If something fails or behaves oddly, you can simply swap your current 2x8 unit.
