what CPU/Motherbaord?

The cpu is an i5 6600k and the motherboard is a MSI Z170- A pro.

it might work, intel CPU are more likely to work with unmatched ram compared to AMD.

they not same speeds but if they in different channels it should be okay.

Always chance of BSOD you don't have now, from using unmatched ram. Its normally smarter to use ram from same set.

better to just replace the 1 stick with the 2. Or buy 32gb is you want more.
