Consider your options carefully. Using two 8GB sticks together gives you 16GB, which is sufficient for most tasks. Adding the mismatched stick would bring you to 24GB, but it might not be worth it unless you need extra capacity. Given the quality of the RAM (Mougul brand, Micron chips) and the performance issues you're facing, a matched pair at 16GB should work better and is more reliable.

It will perform more slowly than simply using 2x8GB because it isn't operating in dual-channel mode.

Do you think you’d require more than 16GB of memory? Having 16GB in dual-channel is already quite excellent, and only reaching 24GB would make sense if your workloads unexpectedly demand it.

Determine your requirements and the solution becomes clear.

It really varies, check all RAM options and see if it starts up. I'm using a M720t board with aftermarket components like CPU cooler, case, GPU, and power supply. The issue I faced was with the RAM—changing it didn’t work, it would stop beeping and not boot. When I installed the RAM (three sticks of DDR4 2x8 1x16), it worked fine.
