Yes, you can adjust memory settings to vary the size across different channels.

I purchased 16 GB of DDR4 RAM from Corsair, specifically the CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 model. I already own a 2x4 GB version in my system. Theoretically, everything should match except the total capacity. You can run both sets in separate channels and achieve 24 GB if you use them together, or simply replace one set with the other to get 16 GB.
Ensure dual channel compatibility by matching latency if they differ. This helps prevent confusion for the IMC.
My initial idea was different, but I realized the C16 in the product name refers to CAS latency and it remains consistent.
Your performance is ready. If one component lags, your IMc will adjust all parts to match the slowest one.
