You're asking whether all four RAM sticks need to run at the same speed when using dual-channel memory. The answer depends on your motherboard and chipset configuration—some boards allow all sticks to sync, while others require matching speeds for optimal performance. Check your system specs or consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

They don't need to match the same speed rating, yet they'll maintain the same pace.

@Jurrunio mentioned that everyone should use the slowest rated module speed.

At 3200 MHz the frequency I used isn't correct—it should be 2400MHz.

the imc operates all sticks at the pace of the slowest one, meaning everyone will move at 2400 unless you adjust it manually to find the optimal balance between the two kits
