Hi everyone, I own 32GB of RAM total. Two are in a 2x8GB configuration and two are separate 8GB modules, all from Corsair Vengeance. They all share the same 16-16-16-39 clock speeds. I plan to install the 8x2 stick in the main slots and the others to fill the remaining channels. I’m wondering if there will be any compatibility issues or XMP overclocking challenges. My goal is to use the 8x2 in the main slots and the rest for the second channel. Thanks for reading and helping me out!

they should be okay. you may not reach 3200 or 3000mhz, possibly need to lower it to 2933, just because Ryzen struggles with four RAM sticks. if you often need more than 16GB of RAM, go ahead, understanding you'll lose some speed. if you don't need more than 16GB, stick with the 16GB and higher frequency.
