Hello, after assembling my PC, I purchased a Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz 2x8GB C15. Recently, the C16 RAM is on sale, but it's not in stock. Could running both the C15 and C16 sticks together cause issues? The rest of the setup includes a Ryzen 7 3700X with 2070 Super.

Function should operate without issues. Performance may slightly decrease on systems with varying RAM, but it remains acceptable.

Also keep in mind, its speed is limited by the slowest component.

No, you don't need to adjust the timing manually.

Using XMP typically sets things to the slower speeds, meaning your RAM will probably stick with 3000 CL16. But occasionally the board chooses to boost a bit more, allowing you to pick 3000 CL15 without problems.

I’ve set it up the same way, assuming I missed checking the CMK8GBX4M1D3000C16 x2 of 8GB each and the CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 x2 of 8GB. Will I run into any problems? Please let me know.
