You're exploring options for upgrading your system's RAM. It's important to note that mixing different RAM types can cause compatibility problems. The Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB and the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 18GB both use DDR4, but their specifications differ slightly in latency. If you're considering switching from CL16 to CL18, ensure your motherboard supports the higher speed and that your system can handle the change. Always check compatibility with your hardware before making a decision.

There’s no assurance it will function. I’d describe the optimal situation as 3600MHz C18 with no timing adjustments needed.

Their capacities should be adequate as long as they don’t exceed dual rank dimms (DIMMs aren’t recommended). However, there’s no assurance they’ll function properly—even for the same model unless it matches the exact kit. You might need to reduce frequency, depending on whether your IMC is close to its limit.
